    Digital Crown has more of a 'click' on new Series 3 than on Series 2?

    I've been using my new Series 3 for a few days now, and one of the first things I noticed was that the Digital Crown seems to have more of a distinct 'click' than my Series 2 (SS) or what I remember of my Series 0 (Sport). Is this the case for all Series 3 watches, or did I get lucky?

    How does the Watch behave when cellular is never enabled to begin with?

    Title says it all... When cellular is never enabled on the Watch, does it behave the same as the GPS-only Watch? Is the icon for cell connection still present in Control Center?

    iPhone Cellular Call Interrupted by WhatsApp - Call Waiting is Turned Off

    When I'm on a voice call via cellular network, WhatsApp keeps interrupting via pseudo-call waiting whenever someone calls via the app. Is there any way to turn this off? I thought of notifications, but I would still like that to be on. Is this a recent issue (or what they would call an...

    iPhone IOS 11 - Battery drain, hot, cellular issues

    All, I just thought I’d share an issue I’ve experienced twice since installing 11 a 3 days ago. I noticed high battery drain and my 6s was fairly warm. After doing a hard reset, I received text messages from earlier, and the phone then cools. Battery drains seems to normalize. I’m wandering...

    Carrier Weird Frequency Band in Diagnostics

    Hello! I know this is kind of random, but I've been goofing off looking at cellular data recently and playing with the field test info just kind of learning more about how it works. Yesterday I noticed it showed a Freq Band Indicator of 2002256134. Normally I'm used to seeing the normal bands...

    iOS 10.1 Beta 5 Users on AT&T... Did That Modem Update Help Your Cellular Service?

    Seems to have made a substantial increase to my cellular service here in Central FL with AT&T. Areas where I barely had LTE, I'm getting 2-4 bars with 45Mpbs download speeds. Areas of I-95 where I would drop VoLTE calls constantly don't seem to be an issue anymore. Anyone else seeing an...

    Hi all. I'm an AT&T user. (And I suffered for it horribly in Massachusetts recently. I live in Dallas, where AT&T kinda calls home. AT&T coverage in New England, especially rural, sucks.) I'd like to know if anyone has seen any data on the capability of the iPhone 7 Intel (3G/GSM-only)...
