  • Consumers prefer Apple Watch Series 9 over SE and Ultra models

    lewchenkolewchenko
    Is the SE still nerfed in terms of basic features ? Like always on display for example ?

    If so, that’s probably why most people avoid it. 

    Previously I’ve always bought the standard ALU large models. Screen scratches galore though. It’s shocking we have to pay a small fortune for non sapphire screens  at this price unless we stump up even more for the stainless steel or ultra. 

    I’m considering switching to the Pixel 9 Pro series and watch 3 at the moment (16 pro rumours not looking good). A potential issue though is their watch too isn’t sapphire screen either and no high end option to get it.

  • Apple Watch Series 9 vs Samsung Galaxy Watch 7-- Specs, price, and features, compared

    lewchenkolewchenko
    Does the Samsung watch come with any coating on the screen like gorilla glass ?
    The Apple Watch non sapphire models have protection but it’s total garbage. Every aluminium watch I’ve had from Apple ends up with way too many scratches on the screen & quickly. Yet non of my mechanical watches have scratches. 

    Not sure I’d buy another due to this. Maybe save a bit more and get the sapphire stainless steel or Ultra versions.

  • Man ludicrously blames Apple for his wife catching him communicating with prostitutes

    The guy does raise an interesting point though. It’s not  clear how the syncing & deleting often works.  I’ve got an iPad which has some pictures on that can never be deleted for some reason. They just keep coming back from somewhere no matter what I do even when sharing is off/ cloud off etc etc.  Annoying only because they take up space & we use that iPad for kids on holidays. Maybe I should just wipe the whole device.

  • First Apple Silicon M3 Mac releases rumored for October launch

    lewchenkolewchenko
    I guess for many the M1 version of the 24” doesn’t feel slow in the slightest , and an M3 won’t feel that much faster for many use cases. But it’s needed regardless as people don’t like paying the same amount as launch price (or even more in Europe now) for old tech. 
    So what else will they add to it to make it worthwhile. A cpu spec bump isn’t enough in my opinion - May as well get a heavily discounted M1 if that’s all that changes.

  • Get ready to pay more for the iPhone 15 Pro Max than ever before

    The US is in a fortunate position price wise in terms of value. As someone outlined with the the cost of the X model compared to now, and that’s true.  Other countries not so much. It doesn’t matter that the £/$ ratio is largely £1.28 to the $ now (ie quite good) , Apple has hiked prices in the UK and Europe for a while when there is a dip … BUT never lowers them when the rate recovers. 
    The end result is prices in Europe that are considerably higher than the US even when you take into account Tax.
