even tho i haven't had an iphone in years i still love these events. the production quality. the schlocky corporate schtick. the hype. but especially the commentary and snark in these threads. no work meetings coming up so i'm strapped in and ready to hang with yall

it's legitimately cool that an apple/smartwatch can give you a heads up about potentially/actually serious health issues but don't all the disclaimers all basically say that it's not for serious medical use? or have they gotten some actual certifications to make it legit?

Hughmoris posted:Honest question from someone not in the Apple universe: can the watch be a legit "life alert" for senior citizens? My folks are getting older and I worry about them falling and not being able to stand up without help. not an apple watch owner but i am pretty sure this + more is included

"most accurate gps of any smartwatch" surely garmin/dedicated sport watches aren't counted in this category, right? aren't those high end hiking watches specifically made to track you in the middle of nowhere and, like, call a chopper if you're lost or hurt or whatever?

nerox posted:Like is dealing with a sim card a legitimate concern for like 99% of the population? i wonder if there's a large amount of people who lose theirs or gently caress up the sim tray and complain to carriers a bunch also removing the sim tray means one less thing to physically move on the phone which i guess is a good thing for longevity? idk if that's really a big deal tho

as a non iphone customer i think this dynamic island thing is pretty neat. it's an elegant way to hide the notch, which apple has been trying to do in every marketing photo since the iphone x but as an android user, i would hate not having a list of icons at the top to let me know what kind of notifications i have waiting for me

FCKGW posted:The end list list of apps and spam in the notification tray is the worst thing about android, no thanks. good thing you have granular control of which apps are allowed to show you various types of notifications so you only get the ones you want unlike the absolute neverending laundry list of notifications on ios

AlternateAccount posted:GET A REAL loving CAMERA FOR THIS poo poo just like the watch ultra. apple's biggest strength is marketing the features that their products could theoretically pull off, but aren't actually relied on by industry professionals. it's just to get regular people to spend more money on tech they don't need so they can justify the cost/purchase with fancy features they'll never use
