I'm considering buying this, but I'm worried about the notifications that will come on all 4 (Mac, iPhone, Watch and iPad). Is there any way to smartly control notifications? If I'm working on my Mac, I have already seen the calendar update, why does it come on all of them together?
What's up with the red dot on the digital crown for all the LTE versions?!?! Do you think I could take a sharpie and black it out?
@saulsutcher i imagine it makes support way easier - press the red button is way easier than saying press the crown, what is the crown? the top swirly button on the side that doesn’t look like a button, etc etc
I think this will end up being the underrated announcement from this keynote. The ability to untether yourself from your iPhone is pretty big.
@hayden_evans
True, except for where it isn't better -- like notifications handling, and Google Assistant is superior to Siri.
At any rate, just noting that LTE in a watch isn't an Apple innovation.
@hayden_evans I felt that way too, this was the best of all. Specially since I'd been considering getting a Light phone
@cacarr I didn't say that it was particularly "innovative" - I know plenty of other smart watches have had LTE/cellular connectivity for a while. All I am saying is that it is an impactful development for people who use both an iPhone and an Apple Watch and don't want to be weighed down by carrying their iPhone all the time.
Was really hoping to port a number just to a watch and ditch an extra phone for personal...
@joshuatalley I wonder how doable this is?! Especially with the new price of iPhone (X).
@androidlove You got any evidence to back up that claim, doc? Or are you just making that up?
@androidlove instead of being close to your balls (ie phone in pocket) or close to your ear (when in use)
@androidlove How is this worse than a phone in your pocket next to your twig and berries?
I was wondering about number sharing and additional cost for your plan...this article explains it: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/...
Not sure why you would want to answer an #iPhone on your surfboard. I'm just hoping it is waterproof.
@neekunjshah because this is basically a series 2 with lte. The series 1 is discounted, and it’s now the budget model.
@neekunjshah @zduboss @ryan_lieb Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if it was for margins. The series 2 probably cannot be made cheap enough to get to the $249 price point.
@tony_anastasi If that's the kind of douchebaggery you get up to then Siri is doing the world a great service.
@joshuapinter see i'm not the only one who can joke about it - https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/H4-UA... BWAHAHAHAHA
Apple Watch 3⌚️ Blew my mind. For sure I'm getting one, not 100% sure about iPhone X📱...
@ratomir1 What about it stood out to you over the 1 or 2? Was LTE that big of a concern for you? Just curious.
@saulsutcher I'm wearing a series 2 right now. The biggest appeal is not having to physically have your phone.
1) Just walking around the house my watch will get out of range
2) Being a beach/pool goer, I wouldn't have to worry about taking my phone out there at all
3) When working out, no reason to awkwardly have a phone bouncing in your pocket
@ratomir1 @saulsutcher Personally, I've walked out the house forgetting my phone more than a few times and when you have small children it's convenient to just keep going.
