    My Ultra does.
    Interesting. I find that my Apple Watch Series 6 with AirPods Pro is a great combination. But the battery life is shit when I don’t have my iPhone nearby.

    If I’m out hiking, listening to music and using my watch as the GPS with occasional iMessage it’s dead within 3-4 hours if my iPhone is not present.

    If I could get 18 Hours+ with that type of usage I’d probably upgrade.

    A good friend who owns an Apple Watch Ultra told me that his watch does last significantly longer, but would also be dead within hours without his iPhone handling the cellular/GPS element.

  • BBC cries foul over Apple Intelligence headline notification summarizations

    The truncated Apple News titles have been just as bad since its release. The amount of times that it has omitted key words is both hilarious, at times, and down right ridiculous in others.

    The BBC were right to call Apple out on this. Doesn’t matter whether you like the BBC or not, they are correct.

  • Apple is buying a treasure in Pixelmator, and we hope it won't get destroyed

    I really hope Apple doesn’t fuck this up. I’ve been using and supporting Pixelmator since they first launched and am also loving Photomator.

    Just yesterday I was using Pixelmator on my PowerMac G5 and was enjoying the comparison of where it started through to Pixelmator Pro of today (Yes, I’m one of those people that loves using old Mac’s).

    I was always surprised that Apple dumped Aperture and let many of their Pro Apps languish. Software sells hardware and Apple really should have a hand in pushing the Pro Space as they buy the most expensive hardware.

  • Apple stuck the Mac mini power button on the bottom

    Such a shame they don't just put the power button the front of the Mac Mini. Sometimes Apple really do go for form over function, I'd hoped that they'd righted the ship when they released the Apple Silicon MacBook Pro redesign, I guess idiots are back in charge.
