Man they gotta fix deep linking in iOS one day, even in Apple’s own mail app from Apple’s own email it just opens a shitty browser view for this instead of straight to the music app

In a small device like the watch, the attachment mechanism and all the structure needed for it takes substantial space where every millimeter is at a premium

May I highly recommend Sponsorblock to go with Adblock

I hope the band connector redesign and possible skipping of a year before much bigger updates in the Apple watch X/Ultra 3 lead to big increases in battery life

Better than Black Friday in Japan 😭

The metal shell is also said to be part of a better thermal system in the 16, and it’s actually the battery and the OLED that are the temperature limiting components in a smartphone rather than the SoC.

I’m going to say this rando twitter account likely doesn’t know what they’re talking about

What stands out about these tests to me, apart from Apple Silicon remaining highly impressive, is that AMD in both and Intel at least in multicore are beating the Snapdragon on performance per watt. Many people boil Apple’s efficiency down to an ARM vs x86 thing, but that’s a tiny part of the chip by now, it’s more in Apple’s bespoke architecture around it.

Here we see AMD even on x86 beating an ARM chip on Perf/watt, Intel on multicore, and Meteor Lake launching within a month will drop power use by 50%. It’s not just or even mostly the ISA, it’s everything else around it that matters more.

I think they’d do it once they have something else to upsell the Pro displays on, like microLED

Yeah the uptime was almost legendary back then, that was the “functional high ground” of largely just working.

Snow Leopard definitely had the intro movie, and it was awesome

I feel like we’ve heard this for the last couple of releases too, a re-focus on quality, but then the .0 and even .1 releases are as normally buggy as they’ve been for a while.

To not fall further behind on deploying generative AI makes sense, but after that I’d still really love to see what a full Snow Leopard year for all of their platforms can do, a complete focus on speed, bug fixes, and getting little things that aren’t quite bugs but annoying little visual hitches and lags and things that leave you not knowing if they’re working down to as near to zero as humanly possible.

This is a way better explanation of Dynamic Caching than what most techtubers have vaguely mumbled about it with no clear understanding.

It said on-chip memory right on their slide which seemed to have been lost on most, which is SRAM and not DRAM, the layers of GPU caches/tile memory and fitting more as it’s needed in there which maximizes GPU hit rates and utilization. Most people explained it in some hand wavey nature about Unified Memory and using less RAM.

Yes! That put words to my problem with it too, now it seems like the buttons just do random things, not connected to the software related to their physical placement

You’re not the only one for sure. I don’t think moving everything around for widgets was worth it frankly and wish there was a setting to go back.

He seems like a genuinely nice dude. Hope it’s not serious.
