    Apple Sport Loop x Nike Sport Loop

    Hey, guys! I am planning to purchase a black Nike Nike Sport Loop and I wonder: does the Nike SL feel the same as Apple? I saw in a video that Nike's is not as "soft" as Apple's. That's true?

    Open letter to Tim Cook

    I try for weeks to get a copy of my AppleWatch 4 invoice, but it seems too difficult for Apple to do that. As I live in the philippines I have no official Apple Store to go to, and unfortunately all official ways didn't work yet. I know it's christmas, but as tcook@apple.com is a public known...

    Apple whoop acquisition???

    Just thinking out loud here but I think that an Apple / Whoop Acquisition would be even more dominant in the wearables market, and would allow Apple to add depth and expand into a fitness/pro subscription model for serious athletes and fitness fanatics (like they used Beats for Apple Music...

    So I have recently migrated over to an Apple Watch (Series 3 Space Grey Aluminium LTE) from a Garmin Instinct and so far I am loving it.

    Should I upgrade my Series 3 Apple Watch to WatchOS 6?

    Hey everyone! My concern is the obvious one when you upgrade older devices to the newest OS: is battery life on par? Are the apps’ load times worse? What about the overall “snappiness” of the device? My 42mm silver aluminum Apple Watch speed and general feeling is actually pretty decent on...
