Will we be upset if Apple Watch X means our existing, extensive watchband collection no longer works? in c/apple@hardware.watch

I spent most of my time with the original AW using a 42mm band on a 38mm watch...So I ain't scared!

Wired, MagSafe, or Wireless? in c/apple@hardware.watch
[–] jwalk128@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

MagSafe on trips, at my desk, or with my Belkin MagSafe battery. Wired everywhere else.

Usually when I’m on a trip I just find it more convenient to use the MagSafe puck, or if I’m hanging out at my desk, that’s easier to use and have the phone propped up. The battery pack is also convenient on the go since it just snaps on, has a kickstand, and an extra USB port for any other accessories.

Wired everywhere else because I always had lightning cables lying around at various lengths. Now with USB-C, not only do I have one everywhere but pretty much everywhere I go, someone’s bound to have one. Plus my CarPlay isn’t wireless.

Do you wear your AW 24/7? in c/apple@hardware.watch

I've got heart and sleep problems so I definitely keep mine on 24/7 other than to charge every few days and shower.

How are you liking the action button so far? in c/apple@hardware.watch
[–] jwalk128@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I originally had mine set up with a shortcut menu for various apps/home features, but ended up switching it to just turning the flashlight on and off. Same with my AWU2's action button. I almost always need a flashlight so it just made the most sense.

Apple's head of security speaks out against iPhone app sideloading in new interview in c/apple@hardware.watch

Just makes me think of my coworker whose samsung phone had so much random crap on it that every other tap on the screen would trigger a 30 second ad, sometimes followed by a second or third ad. Took forever just to get to the Settings app. Ended up having to boot into safe mode and removing a good chunk of apps for him.

Your first iPhone? in c/apple@hardware.watch

4 on Verizon for me. Best friend gave it to me after upgrading to the 4S. Then I passed it to my dad when I got the 5c who gave it to my little sister. Not sure where it is now.
