    iPhone Xs / 11 Pro + Apple Watch sync speed

    Has anyone here used their Apple Watch with both an iPhone Xs and an 11 Pro? If so, did you notice any increase in sync speed? I just bought an iPhone Xs from Best Buy and I have yet to receive it. I'm still on fence about getting an 11 Pro. I will be getting an AW5 and I wanted to know if the...

    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...

    All Devices Apple Health prior day's data

    OK with my phone, I am looking at today's summary on Apple Health. That is fine, I like some of the changes. I do think it is a bit more tedious to get to the underlying data sources, but OK. However, if I missed my stats for yesterday I am not finding an easy way to go look at yesterday's...

    watchos 6.0 bugs or feature?..

    1. Why change the design of the ring icon? Closed rings look like open rings. @Apple #CloseMyRings 2. Mickey Mouse does not say time when touched. Reboot the watch and Apple's instruction did not help. #MickeyTalk! #watchos6bugs

    I bought 4? Should I keep it?

    Hi, in my country AW4 cost ~$581 and same model (LTE, 44mm) but AW5 cost ~$661 I bought AW4, cause there is nothing new besides AOD and compass... Now I have second thoughts, that maybe I should return it and get series 5? Is AOD worth $80?

    Apple Watch has been updated alert on iPhone.

    Was updating my Apple Watch to the latest firmware and left it on the charger while I did something else in the house. I unlocked my iPhone but automatically just pressed the ok button on the alert. I kind of remember it saying something about 30-60-90 seconds or something. I’m assuming it’s...
