    No charging after 8.3 upgrade

    Anyone else experiencing charging issues? I have a Series 6 I keep updated and have never had an issue. After the 8.3 update, my watch no longer charges using a third-party puck. Charges fine with Apple-supplied puck. Is it possible Apple added code to disable third-party chargers?

    Most comfortable bands

    So I got my first Apple Watch yesterday (S3 non LTE silver aluminium, 38mm). I don't care much for the grey sports band it came with and bought a berry stripe nylon band. That band is quite stiff and my skin is rather sensitive (the pressure of the watch itself is also something I'll really...

    Cheapest place to buy a safe Magsafe 1 Power adapter

    So, I'm super uncomfortable buying third party power adapters (fire hazard and such) but I don't want to spend $80 on a new charger for my $300 computer. Any ideas on a safe third party alternative - or a "known good" seller on Amazon or Ebay? Thanks!

    General Keyboard constantly switches from 3rd party to stock

    Hey all, I use the Swype keyboard by Nuance as my default keyboard (yes I set it to the top of my list) but it randomly switches back all the time. I know 3rd party keyboards aren't allowed in the password fields, but usually when I go back and forth between unlocking my phone and texting, I'd...
