AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) with 2x active noise cancellation, adaptive transparency mode, 6 hours of battery life, lanyard loop, Memoji engraving, and U1 precision finding. $239
iPhone 14 feature slide. 5 colors (first time it is offered in silver and starlight?). “Proven” A15. Photonic Engine (Sweater Mode 2.0?). (Video) Action Mode. eSIM. Crash Detection. Emergency SOS via Satellite.
Looks like the story Apple is telling this year is that Apple devices are made for extreme situations: crash detection, stronger Apple Watch Ultra, and Emergency SOS via Satellite. *Corrections: AirPods Pro is $249 and iPhone 14 comes in purple, not silver.
Track Detection coming soon. (Just for Apple Watch Pro?)
I’m glad Apple branded the pill. Dynamic Island is a much better name than Sensor Housing. Dynamic Island also sounds like a location at an Apple Theme Park. “Let the Taptic Engine drive you to Dynamic Island.”
“Use Emergency SOS via satellite on your iPhone 14” Apple Support Article is live. “With a direct view of the sky and the horizon, a message might take 15 seconds to send, and over a minute to send under trees with light or medium foliage.” support.apple.com/en-us/HT213426
Apple watchOS 9.0 GM: #AppleEvent Apple Watch Ultra product code is N199 and codename Sting. 49mm case: Agave. It is 502 pixels tall. “Press once to start Stopwatch. Press again to mark a lap." Yellow charging animation in low power 🧵
Hermès Lucky Horse Watch Face codenamed Secretariat. "face is a custom illustration, designed in collaboration with Hermès, that wakes up and moves in different ways. You can select from a curated set of color combinations. The face also features two customizable complications."
iOS 16 introduced a lot of little features. Here are the things I first noticed after upgrading: 1) Lock Screen widgets (AOD😉) 2) Notifications feel hidden at the bottom of the Lock Screen 3) I can’t play/pause media on the Lock Screen because the player isn’t centered anymore🧵
4) I don’t scroll the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch anymore given that watchOS 9 requires holding down the Digital Crown to unlock from sleep/school time/water lock.
5) If you had shortcuts for the sleep focus you will get an extra Home Screen.
WatchOS 9.0 beta 4 changes 🧵: Apple changed the dot dot dot ‘. . .’ to ellipsis ‘…’ on sleep, school time and water unlock screens. Also you may be able to select more Spring 2022 colors like Oat Milk, Lavender Gray, and Light Lilac on watch faces. It could be out in ~30m…
Apple removed the text about ‘making sure it’s snug on your wrist’.
‘Marmoset’ is the codename for (nano) Podcasts app on watchOS and has a few text additions: "Your Apple Watch will not try to download episodes from % when syncing.”
Medications are time zone aware now. "Health will send a notification and allow you to adjust your medication schedule if it detects a time zone change”
