  • Rumor: 'iPhone 12' will look like a slimmer, taller iPhone 11

    It's my hope the rumors about the iPhone12 possibly having design aspects of the iPhone4 be true.  The iP4 was imho the best-looking iPhone, followed by the iP5.

    I'd verify it myself with my finger on my artery and a stopwatch first before believing it.  I've found my AW3 almost always is wrong when I am doing a workout (walk).  It starts out over 120bpm and takes at least 5 minutes before it settles down to the 70-80 range.  It used to scare me but now I know it's just plain wrong.
    The article states that the high heart-rate was sudden, with no exercise.  It's different from doing exercise, and one's heart rate goes up from that.

  • Apple Pay Express Transit users hit with unintended charges at New York City turnstiles

    This is an interesting dilemma.  If a person is carrying both NFC methods when walking through the gate, sounds like it's more a mistake of the rider than a technological issue.

    I suppose the system could check if more than one payment has been made on the same gate within milliseconds of each other, then it should only charge one method?

  • Swallowed AirPod sends 7-year-old to emergency room

    Stroud hopes that other parents will be cautious when giving AirPods to their kids, as she never anticipated her son would swallow the AirPod.
    Absolutely worst case of entitled parenting.  What the heck are parents doing by giving 7-year-olds such expensive, elaborate gifts?  I tell you... kids nowadays (and their parents) are what's wrong with society.

    When I was seven, I was happy just playing outside in the dirt.

    ApplePay needs to be more mainstream at gas stations as well.  They are slowly showing up and I frequent those that do.  I think that is when it will reach critical mass here in the U.S.

    I don't know where you are geographically, but if you're near a Wawa (Philly area and expanding across Florida), they support ApplePay.  I specifically go there for gas as a result, so the rest of the stations that either don't support it (or don't tell me they do) are losing out.
    I’m in San Francisco.  So far, I’ve come across two gas stations in the entire bay area that allows Apple Pay.  None of them are in San Francisco.
