Going on a vacation here in a few days. What are your guys’ storage solutions for taking multiple bands on vacation? How do you even pick which ones to bring?

this is maybe stressing me out more than it should. 😅

Where to?

Simplify.

I just stuck to the one band and took my old watch. Worried my S5 would get banged up on some mountain.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the privilege of using an old watch (I do that everyday 🙁)

I’ll be going to Portland. Just to sort of be somewhere other than home.

Also, only one band?

I (respectfully) disagree with folks saying only 1, as that doesn’t make sense if you’re going to be doing the typical variety of vacation activities. At the very least, bring 1 formal (going out to dinner etc; eg. leather or metal) and 1 casual (SL/SB).

As for storage, I use this (see below), and then choose bands based on the outfits I’ve packed.

Vacation sounds very nice. I think a few bands depending on what you plan to do, what you plan to wear and/or your faves if you don’t have any concrete plans. One band would feel unnecessarily limiting (to me). When I was going to Florida in March before my trip was cancelled I was planning on taking about 6 bands in various colours.

Don't they usually release things around 10AM PST / 1PM EST?

Are we sure it's tomorrow? Didn't someone say it happens the week of WWDC usually?
As I believe @jeremyfernie pointed out, the last 3 years summer bands were released the first Monday of June. Tomorrow is Monday, June 1st.

I remember waking up the day spring bands were released, people had already started posting about them at 5AM. Just trying to see if it's worth staying up or sleeping in.

I would bet early as F, ever since they switched the iPhone order to be eastern seaboard friendly, it’s hard to read.

Might stay up if that's the case.

Wait a second...



There's an uncanny resemblance here.

Nice shots! It's one of my favourites as well. I vastly prefer the Woven Nylons over the Sport Loops in general. They look more classy to me and feel just as light/comfortable on the wrist.

Thanks! I love the sport loops and Ive only collected those, I don’t do the sport bands. You’re absolutely right for a more classy look without the sacrifice of comfort I’ll definitely wear these. These woven nylons are definitely another type of band I can get into lol the hunt is on!

Apple temporarily closes US retail stores in wake of widespread looting and protests


Hopefully, everyone is safe. Last night was crazy around where I live. So much destruction this morning.

man, this is why we can't have nice things...
 
They were just showing on cable news that Melrose Mac got totally wiped out last night. They are an authorized Apple reseller. I bet a bunch of Best Buys got looted too. I know the AT&T store near me got wiped out. Target is closing 100's of locations until things calm down

Good thing about that is that all those IMEIs & SNs can be traced and blocked.

Wondering if the new sport bands will be released tomorrow because Apple usually releases them at their WWDC event which is normally the first Monday in June but as the event has been pushed back this year until 22nd of June I wonder if they will do it then rather than tomorrow 🤔
 
I just found this on Twitter. The Grove Apple Store in Los Angeles.

I am watching the news and it looks like they are looting in Santa Monica and there is a huge Apple Store there too.

I know the literal point of this thread is caring about private property, but if you spend more than a second caring about some plate glass or an iPad, you’re kinda missing the point...

I am trying not to get political, which I can do very easily. Just trying to keep it Apple related. :) It is sad either way you lean politically when you see people looting and destroying property and becoming violent. Which is why Apple is keeping all their US stores closed
