    That means the app will still be wrong 50% of the time. Such a waste. Someone build an actual radar app. That would be something worthwhile to have!

    Apple Watch protection

    It’s not an issue of what you prefer, just such descriptions are more subjective, kind of like the whole “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” What I find completely acceptable, you may find off-putting. There are tons of different Apple Watch cases out there. The only insight I can provide...

    Apple Watch protection

    Unsightly/clunky are poor descriptions, since that is up to the individual. I like the industrial look and want my things to last, so bigger cases don’t bother me, especially in my line of work.

    Is it necessary to download music if you can stream with an unlimited data plan?

    Re: To download or not to download... Ditto. I can’t justify a streaming plan cost, for the 1 or 2 new songs/month I want. I’d still rather own it and sync it. There are plenty of mountainous regions in the Eastern half of the US where there isn’t cellular signal along major interstates.

    Apple Maps for a road trip. Can I trust it?

    Broken loop on black woven nylon band

    Awesome! They rightly should, or they shouldn't make a NATO style strap!

    Broken loop on black woven nylon band

    It doesn't look well worn to me. NATO style woven bands should last well beyond a year. Apple has a quality issue with that strap. I am sure a 3rd party NATO style woven strap would last longer than a year.

    iOS 10 OTA Update Failed

    Apple put out a statement saying that a flaw with the initial deployment of iOS 10 today caused the bricked mode, but it has been fixed and OTA updates are ok again.

    Where do you keep your phone?

    In a Lifeproof case and then in a holster on my right hip. Easy to access in a hurry or drop in a boot when the alarm rings.

    Where were you in 1999? What device did you have?

    99 was college, starting work as a firefighter and sporting a Nextel, like we all did!

    Re: [CONTEST] Win your very own BB-8 remote control Star Wars mini droid from iMore! My son would love this! He is so into Star Wars, which is crazy considering he hasn't seen any of the movies and he's only 4!

    Contest: Win a new Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse or Trackpad!

    I'm ready to buy my first Mac ever. I want a Mac Mini to use with my existing monitor, but I don't think my gaming keyboard & gaming mouse would work well with a Mac. I'd love to have a Magic Keyboard & Magic Trackpad 2 instead!
