"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?

They have GPS but no, they don’t have PLB or any SOS tools. Those need satellite functionality.

What were the fees? I missed that part.

They didn’t say. For reference, Garmin Inreach stuff starts at $14/mo

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

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 :shrug:

iOS has notification controls in the system settings though?

All these camera improvements are amazing, I'm sure, but the weakest link will always be me pulling my phone out of my pocket and hastily thumbing the camera button before missing a blurry shot of the thing I wanted a photo of.

Just swipe left on the Lock Screen

So.. 12 and 13 are the same price now?

Maybe the 13 mini is sticking around at $100 cheaper?

 Apple Watch clearance sales have been going on for weeks. Costco had Series 7 for $280 last month.
