  • 'Slow Horses' wins outstanding writing Emmy for Apple TV+

    Certainly deserves it.

  • J.D. Vance shouldn't open his mouth about Apple if he doesn't have a clue

    It's a sad reflection on the fear-mongering negativity one side is using. Personally, I'm a huge fan of lifting us all up instead.

    Above all: Don't believe whatever comes out of the mouth of a selfishly-guided politician just because he said it. Most are all too happy to promote half-truths, mostly lie, or outright lie in order to "win". I'm sorry, but it is no win for us to be misled, and only find out what we were buying after he's already in office; telling us what we can and can't do without being asked again. They don't care if we agreed. They will be the ones in the power chair and will tell us, dictator style, not ask. 
    Agreed.  Yep, he should focus on aliens eating cats and dogs and Governors executing live babies; you know, real news that's fact-checked. /s
    And a few minutes ago, I believe Mr. Trump announced he will do no more debates, not even in the friendly confines of Fox News with Fox moderators. Probably for the best. 
    Well, he has to spend some time before the election recovering from being beaten to a pulp on live TV.

  • How Apple's new iPhone & Apple Watch amp up user health monitoring

    Can't wait to get hold of the hearing test to be told there's nothing wrong with my hearing, so the fact I can't hear people talking to me most of the time must be something else. (At least that's what the last test I did with one of the third-party apps said.)

    The hearing aid feature will probably be useful to me, because I do have problems filtering noise. I've tried using the various assisted hearing features, but the microphone noise from the phone tends to be distracting. Also, I may test out the conversation awareness again, but previously it tended to lag a bit, and be a bit too sensitive, turning down what I was listening to in response to random noise, and not reacting fast enough when I needed it.

    I'm also pleased I don't have to upgrade my watch or AirPods for the features I'm most interested in.

  • Sleep apnea detection is the most impactful upgrade to the Apple Watch

    netrox said:
    Millions will learn to find that they have apnea thanks to Apple tools. 

    A lot of people don't raelize that they have it until they're told by someone else or confirmed by diagnostic tools.
     
    I know I've personally been living in denial, despite my brother and now my father both being diagnosed with it. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

    I mean, maybe I'm right, and I don't have it...

  • Apple Watch Ultra 2 goes dark with a new black satin finish

    entropys said:
    Umm. Why? Why?
    Because if they didn't mention it at all, everyone would be "Apple Watch Ultra is dead!" and they're probably planning an update for next year.

    Or possibly because announcing a new finish for it may help boost sales. People who might have considered an Ultra, but not been sure about the single finish choice available. (You can criticise people like that all you like, but they exist. Whether they exist in numbers sufficient for Apple to make money off them remains to be seen. I'm guessing they've got market research that says "Yes".)
