There were some reports of burn-in but it seems way too soon for that to be happening and I think those ended up being photoshops

yeah if this affected even a fraction of a percent of units sold the amount of bellyaching on reddit would block out the sun

nah if they get the under the screen tech working itll come back alongside faceid for edge case authentication of faces being covered or unlocking without looking etc and leverage that into better processing rates for applepay

same for tunein and iplayer radio. hopefully the homepod motivates devs to look into it

only the stock app does as far as i'm aware. i don't think audio apps can work with siri beyond basic play/pause/skip functionality.

you can stop reading right there. EDN is basically the Taiwan electronics industry version of fox news. apple doesn’t miss shipments by 40%. some supplier got disqualified and planted a story to gently caress their stock. happens almost every year.

any good trade rags you’d recommend on this stuff? or is it just ‘find out where supply managers like to drink’?

IT IS HARAAM TO SEND SMILEY FACES THROUGH THE INTERNET
not sure if it's still a thing, but a while ago web twitter had a spinner at the bottom of the page to tell you it was loading more tweets, and it spun whether or not it was on screen

if you killed the js or used custom css to display:none the spinner, your battery would last significantly longer

You see, but you do not observe.

I’m really unhappy now with my Apple Watch and the newest watchOS hasn’t fixed anything, it actually made it worse because they changed the navigation yet again and now I have no easy access to controlling my music or podcasts in my phone.

I have it mostly as a notification device, but it’s kind of useless.

they made it less usable with the latest watchOS redesign imo. Been using one since the first release.

shortcuts to quickly change volume or pause whatever you’re playing on phone are gone and they changed the navigation method AGAIN.

they’ve changed what the side
buttons do like 3 times now with every watchOS release and it’s loving annoying and I’m giving up, this is poo poo and they don’t know what they’re doing. also lol at the apps on the watch, what a waste of time

another annoyance: it’s a freakin Watch first, but I can’t remember how many screens hide the time display which forces me to press the stupid Crown button to go back. the time should always be displayed at least in a corner, but there’s a lot of stuff that hides it

it’s a good silent notification gadget but that’s it

Apple Watch is Apple crap

i don't have much issue with the watchOS user interface, but by god they've slowed down my apple watch series 2 to irritating levels with the newest watchOS.


when i want to start a workout the workout app always without fail shows the summary from my last workout and takes 5 seconds to start responding to input/aka me scrolling through the summary and starting a new workout

also there's some kind of memory leak that i can visibly detect because raise-to-wake is slower than dogshit until you reboot.
