Wrist flick function sounds good. Notes integration a positive. I’m not into the other stuff, but I’m sure things like the workout buddy will be welcomed for some.

This is a shockingly good announcement. Finally going to replace my very aged iPad because of this. Anything you didn’t like/thought was missed ?

I don’t hate it. It’s just not a priority that I was interested in. For instance maybe revert the Photos app to its old goodness, rather than its new crapness. Maybe even expand usage cases for the dynamic island, since they’ve had so much time to do so and seem to have lost interest.

Glad I’m not the only one with an intense dislike of Photos. I can’t see any upside.

Agreed. As long as Samsung keep providing inferior hardware to the non US/Canada world, it will remain a no from me - “specs sheet suggested the two non-Ultra flagships will come with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 only in the US and Canada, all the other markets are getting the Exynos 2400 treatment.”

Big move this one. I wonder, if they lose the patent dispute, whether features of these watches will be removed for users?

$159 here is Australia. That’s definitely some challenging pricing. I don’t know how I’m justifying Apple next time I’m replacing things with all their pricing increases here.

Not that I’ve found either. I want the same thing. Current cards do not align with how I want to journal, so I ended up disabling them. Only advantages of the app for me is no cost and not giving sensitive information to others via permissions.

Swiping between watch faces is back ! (I’m unreasonably excited about this I know).

FYI you have to (on the watch, not your phone) go into settings>clock to enable this.

Anyone else with any tips for this update in general, please share them. Would love this community to be active and supportive.

Why are there no comments, and no real reactions to this here? At the moment there’s more traction around some rando thief story.

The source declined to identify the foreign governments involved in making the requests but described them as democracies allied to the United States.

_The source said they did not know how long such information had been gathered in that way.

Most users give push notifications little thought, but they have occasionally attracted attention from technologists because of the difficulty of deploying them without sending data to Google or Apple._

Earlier this year French developer David Libeau said users and developers were often unaware of how their apps emitted data to the U.S. tech giants via push notifications, calling them “a privacy nightmare.”_

My experience is it’s as bad as you fear it will be. I hate any photo with trees or greenery in it especially. The wide angle lens is far from amazing also. I’m actually thinking of buying a dedicated camera as well, because I’m no longer happy with my iPhone shots. I also have a Pixel for work. Overall better photos for sure.

Just loaded up Memmy and enjoying the sunset theme as well. I’m impressed so far.
