    Couldn’t pass up this deal...

    Congrats. Best Buy has the same deal if you’re a rewards member. Got mine today as well. Love it. Hope to replace my laptop with this.

    Staying with Series 4

    Maybe a software update is what’s needed but support has no idea so not fully. Asked for sure. Maybe series 6 will have it.

    Staying with Series 4

    Got the 5 Friday based on sales saying it would work with MFi hearing aids. After several calls to accessibility support it’s clear it does not even though the correct settings are in the menus. Support has no idea why the correct menus are there only saying we’ll have to check but no one has...

    iOS 13 is available

    I had major issues with my Apple Watch 5 pairing to my Max running 13.1 beta. Went back to official 13 which fixed the watch issue but the mail app is now slow as can be. 13.1 was definitely working better all around. I’ll hold for the official at this point though.

    Apple Watch S5 - Upgrade or Not (Yes for me)

    Talked with Apple and confirmed the 5 does work with Made for iPhone hearing aids. Preordered gray aluminum cellular. Looking forward to the cellular and hearing aid upgrades. That will make it a big step up from my series 4 gps.

    Apple Watch S5 - Upgrade or Not (Yes for me)

    I’m thinking about upgrading from my series 4 and getting cellular this time. Only did gps with the 4. Have since seen where cellular would have come in handy. Any mention if made for iPhone hearing aids will link directly with the watch? That would be great.

    1st year I never wanted to upgrade my iPhone.... :-(

    Staying XS Max here. Camera upgrade is not enough reason to spend that much money. Many will do so though and that’s ok too.

    Switching from XS Max to iPhone 11?

    XS Max 256 gb here. All paid for with AppleCare + through Nov 2020. I think I’m going to stay put another year.

    Who is updating their iPhone this year? Why or Why not?

    I’ll likely stick with my Max another year. Nothing I have seen looks to be a must have to me. I also looked at the Note 10 + today. It’s a nice device and really light weight but after ten minutes playing with android I’m reminded I just like iOS better. I don’t care about customization and I’m...

    iOS 13 Public Beta 7 released.

    I talked the beta on my Max last evening. Love the dark mode and it really does seem faster. All seems to be good so far.

    So I’m official a victim of Apples grand scheme.

    I know the feeling. I jumped to the Note 5 and lasted a month. Tried again with the Note 8 and made it about 6. Note 10+ looks nice but I’m staying with my XS Max. My new hearing aids are made for iPhone and their integration into iOS is great. Just one more thing to keep me with Apple.

    Atmos volume

    Without changing anything I watch Aquaman on iTunes movie and then watch same movie on vudu app. Vudu is much louder. Just the different app. No other changes. It’s like the iTunes version has the sound choked backed. Maybe Vudu just streams a high bitrate?

    Atmos volume

    I have my Apple TV hooked up to my LG Atmos sound bar. When playing an iTunes movie in Atmos the sound is noticeably lower than playing the same movie through the Vudu app. Anyone have any ideas why or seen similar issues

    Anybody pre order from Best Buy?

    I preorder mine 9/18 and selected to pick up at store. Was notified it was ready about 3 this afternoon and picked it up a little while ago. Worked well in my case.

    Anyone perfectly happy with their X and not thinking to upgrade this September?

    No doubt about it now. Staying with the X. I see no reason to spend that kind of money. Going for the Apple Watch 4 though.
