    Whats the UVI complication? Does the new watch will be able to tell if you have too much UV exposure?!
    It probably just pulls the UV Index from the weather report. I don't think the watch would be actively measuring your personal UV exposure.

  • Apple Watch Series 3 LTE crowned as best-selling smartwatch in Asia

    I still wear my series 0 every day. I recently took it on an overnight trip—sans charger—and it lasted the full 2 days. If the series 4 rumours pan out I'll upgrade though I expect it will take a long time until apps are updated to take advantage of the increased real estate. I also look forward to increases in CPU speed and swim tracking. I'd like to see the sapphire display come to the sports models as well, but the chances of that are probably close to nil.

  • Apple's cheaper iPhones are not the volume sellers pundits predicted: iPhone 8, X are

    dunksdunks
    New data shows that Apple's most expensive new iPhone flagships are accomplishing this largely on their own, indicating that analyst chatter about smartphone users really wanting cheaper devices is totally delusional. 

    The lower-specced iPhone 8 outsold the iPhone X, which totally undermines the premise of this article. I know this has all the hallmarks of a Daniel Eran Dilger piece, but I should point out Apple doesn't actually offer any "cheaper" iPhone models. What they offer are lower-featured models at relatively high prices, designed to upsell consumers to fuller-featured products.

    Models like the iPhone SE are not selling fewer units because consumers only want cutting-edge phones; they're selling fewer units because they are overpriced for the value they offer. It's Apple's prerogative to configure their prices how they see fit, but we shouldn't infer that decisions consumers make when presented with a limited set of options is a genuine reflection of their underlying desires.

    High prices on flagship models don't just push people down to cheaper models, they also result in slower upgrade cycles. I like my iPhone X, but it was AUD$500 more expensive than my then-brand-new iPhone 6 Plus (partially due to changes in currency value) so I will be holding onto it for a while.

  • One cable to rule them all: a look at Apple's retired connectors through the years

    The eight-pin lightning connector is a technological marvel. It's such a beautiful, compact, and robust design.
