I dislike how much focus Apple and other companies put on Memoji's, Emoji's, Bitmoji's, Animoji's and all other shitty, cartoon representations of their users.
It makes me sad that 47 year old tech (emoticons, 1972) is the fore-running value add of a $900b company.
> No More iTunes For those of you excited by this, don’t be. All they did was split one app into four. It still works the same way. Yes you can see your device in the finder. But you can’t do anything with it other than upgrade the OS and back it up. Want to put a movie on your iPhone? You’d think you could just drag it from finder. But no, you have to load the AppleTV app, which is just the movies and tv part of iTu…
Why wouldn't you just use the files app on your device to connect to an SMB share and copy files onto the device that way?
Really dislike the hate on Nvidia and the half-truth marketing speak about the “$40,000 display”
I actually had to read it twice to get the meaning. I read "use the best GPU on the planet (not by Nvidia)" first as "well we couldn't get Nvidia so we used the next best thing we could find that wasn't" Gave me a chuckle at least.

Note that iPod Touch exists.

Who still uses the stock iOS app to watch videos? There are a thousand other ways to put video files on your iPhone or iPad and tons of great apps like VLC for iOS, Infuse, etc. that offer many ways of adding video files. I don't fault Apple for not adding new features to the legacy iTunes-iOS media sync system.
SMB, FTP, Plex servers, all the well known cloud services, even a built in web server so you can connect any web browser to your device's IP address and drag and drop files onto the device.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I will try to do some additional walking if my watch tells me I’m close to meeting my goal. I should still exercise more but a small improvement is good as long as I have a sedentary desk job.
How is that "allowing them to be more active throughout the day" ? You were already in a position to be more active if you wanted to. It's not like the watch increased your productivity 10 fold and suddenly freed up an additional 3 hours of your day to go exercise. The wording is questionable.
> The Apple Watch has become a staple for many, allowing them to be more active throughout the day, and saving many from life-threatening situations throughout the years of its existence Is this a PR piece?
The watches have suggested people go to hospital due to arrhythmia, with life-saving results more than once. The new Apple heart beat sensor supposedly allows this (so you won't find the same functionality on Fitbit etc.). Pity you require an iPhone to even turn them on.
No: you have to pay $200 (!) for a VESA mount adapter to use your existing VESA mount.
