It’s expensive (and too expensive for me), but if you put it next to a MacBook Pro with a few upgrades it’s the same price and those get bought without thinking about it.

To become more mainstream it definitely has to be cheaper, but there’s something bothering me about how all the other prices are acceptable.

MacBooks are more of a working device and the upgrades are optional, the starting price is cheaper, I know. Still, these price points aren’t unheard of for Apple.

I don’t see how a purely magnetic watch band attachment could work for a watch, but I guess we’ll see. Would definitely be a shame to loose band compatibility.

I get the trade of and it’s probably been the correct choice as I can’t imagine that specific theft affected a large portion of users. Still an odd place if you find yourself without your phone and soon after locked out of your digital life including you bank account and much more.

It’s great Apple is taking steps to improve the situation there.

The phone passcode, though, not your account password, which I still find an odd choice. All you need(ed) was the pin to unlock the phone to completely take over the entire account, including all your passwords and with it probably bank accounts, pictures, disabling find my, etc.

Yeah that’s the problem with apples apps, they get one release and then varying degrees of updates once a year. But most of them keep getting better and if they work for you they’re a great option. I went back to Notes, reminders and keychain and I’m quite happy, but not entirely happy ^^

I guess we can hope for an update in a year and if we‘re lucky it gets what we’d like to have.

Yes, in my experience really no one cares about iMessage even the slightest in the EU. It would make zero difference if Apple was forced to change anything there.

Haha, yeah pretty unlikely

I was going to say Opera Mini. But maybe try some safari ad blocker extensions, could speed things up. Not sure if it helps.

Who, Tim Apple?

Not sure if you meant general AI or something else, that’s probably going to be a huge step if we ever get there. But the LLMs we currently have are already quite impactful even with their limitations. I don’t think anyone can deny that - and we’re clearly just at the beginning of this.

Why would you want to reply to spam?

I liked 3D Touch, but I’m really glad we moved on from a physical home button. For one things like the app switcher feel so much faster and more fluent with the swiping. And for another I always feared the home button would break, no matter how well built.

I’m pretty sure they removed it even on the devices that had it. The watch definitely lost it. But I might be misremembering.

I dearly miss the precision video scrubbing from iOS 16 and I have no clue why they removed it. It was absolutely amazing and it’s now just replaced by… nothing. I miss it every day.

No, this is the device they have announced for early 2024, it hasn’t come out yet.

I made the mistake of commenting on this post where people clearly think that the Hamas are the good guys and have every right to do what they do. Apologies for linking to it.

Hm, that might actually be the way to go. Tbh the non-logins are definitely in the minority for me and I‘m probably not using them too often. It’s just slightly annoying to have everything in two places, but might still be worth it. Thanks :)

I assume you’re talking about the entire “shouldersurf PIN, steal phone” storyline? That’s also something I’m considering. But there’s a few things that seem a lot nicer with keychain. Autofill on iOS 17 only works with keychain (maybe my PM is just not yet supporting it), no subscription price etc. Also the chrome extension (which my PM also doesn’t have, I’m using Minimalist btw).

I was thinking about that as well. How are you structuring this? A folder and then one note per item? I’m assuming you can then search the title but not the content? Or does everything go into a single note?
