Apple's new AirPods Pro 2 firmware is here for USB-C and Lightning models
caladanian said:Why Apple has no «new firmware available, update now?» pop-up when you open the case or some other place is beyond me.Probably because the firmware updates don't really change anything you'll notice, so there's no real need for any kind of user interaction.Am I happy about this? Of course not, in fact I'd like to see a legal requirement that ALL firmware updates include release notes, a way for users to disable them, and a way for users to revert to any earlier firmware of their choosing at any time. Users who don't care should be able to set to automatic updates, the rest of us should be able to make our own decision about what firmware we want installed. -

iPhone 15 Pro review three months later: Worth every penny
It's a whole lot of new "meh".The only big new thing that's really great about the 15 is the switch to USB C. I wouldn't even consider the "pro" model, the 15+ (in black, because the other colors suck) would be the only one I'd even bother looking at. I do not need fancy cameras in my phone, the camera in the 5 was good enough for everything I need, and it doesn't have a stupid camera bulge, give me that in a large screen phone please.And add an easily swappable battery and headphone jack. I'm fine if it's a few ounces heavier, I won't even notice. -
US Apple Watch sales and import ban: What you need to know
goodbyeranch said:jbtuckr said:goodbyeranch said:I know this wont happen but I dream that This is Apple’s chance to drop the watch altogether and exit that market. It is by far the worst Apple product ever. I’m embarrassed for Apple. I’ve tried and given up on several models, most recently the Ultra 1. Obnoxious phone/watch integration and by the time I turn off 1001 unwanted naggy intrusive “features” there’s little value for the price. Excuse me while I search Apple support forums to figure out how to disable this screeching beeping crisis alarm signal because I bent my wrist too far at the gym. The Apple Watch “experience” is trash. Unpopular opinion but surely I’m not alone.There are workarounds for literally everything you describe.Of course, they're intended behaviors for most people, so Apple isn't going to fundamentally change the way the watch works to make you happy. Not sure why you want an Apple watch in the first place, since you seem to want to turn off all its good features.
