  • Apple Watch Series 4 has smaller batteries than Series 3, official specs show

    I got the Series 4 and I charge it every night, usually when it’s around 50%. Put it on charge when I get home, and wear it overnight when it’s on 100%. 

    I don’t have a problem with nightly charging.

    I had a series 1 and this is a massive upgrade for me and I love the improved haptic feedback.

  • WWDC 2018: Apple, Siri and the future of mobile voice automation in iOS 12

    I am now heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem -  iPhone, watch, ATVs, iPad, HomePod, Mac Mini. 

    Siri works aross all of those Apple devices fine for me. I also have a CarPlay audio system so I can also use Siri in the car to send and read messages, play music, ask for directons etc. 

    Siri could absolutely be better, but I don’t see Alexa or Assistant doing the things that Siri struggles with all that well either. 

    One comment from the article that rings true for me is that Siri just works across all my devices. I can use it from my watch if I’m in the backyard and need to turn the outside lights on and so I’m fascinated to see where Apple goes with Siri, HomeKit, CarPlay and Workflow and how it all comes together across their products.

    As the article mentions, Apple definitely leads the way in terms of voice assistant integration across the range of its ecosystem, something Google and Amazon haven’t been able to do.
