If this isn’t kosher, mods can delete this, but I’m thinking about buying a developer account so I can get access to the iOS beta tomorrow.
Have first betas from major releases been typically stable enough for this to be worthwhile? So far public betas seem to release pretty much the same time as developer betas, starting with DP2.

Comparisons to outdated Intel Macs is kind of cheeky bullshit.

Best time for PC users to switch to Mac? Nowadays, a lot of PCs at home do largely just gaming.

You really can't convince me that M2 Whatsitsvariants and future M3 will be able to rival NVidia and AMD cards in performance.

Hope there isn't any new ML based state estimation of my health. Because that'd get me to try the beta.

lol they featured the big world clock complication. Bold move, considering it's been broken since WatchOS 9.0.

IDGI, if I'm tracking my workout on the watch, isn't the point that I DON'T need my phone on me? For every somewhat useful sounding feature it's just a pile of gimmicks.

I know this is supposed to be more of a performance and bug fixing update, but they've got nothing.
When I'm on my mountain bike, I have my phone with me.

Three things:
- For one, it's in the top compartment of my backpack, facing the sky. So I'd say it has a better view of the sky than my watch, which faces sideways towards trees and poo poo.
- My phone has dual frequency GPS, my watch not.
- My AW6 lasted way longer sports tracking if the phone is near, because GPS was power gated.

That's why I'm a smidge annoyed.

I'm sure glad there's AR augmented workspaces. Meanwhile I'm still hacking away at multiple TN3270 terminals, wrangling some AS400 apps.
