I'm still thinking the 45mm Pixel watch will be small for my wrists and hands...

Temtped with it though...

This is the Galaxy Watch Ultra on my wrist as of now and that's in the Ringke case too

No hate, but I really dislike these cases for watches. They just make it look like a toy.
Does a watch really need protection? Unless you like the aesthetic I guess.

For me it's like people wearing a ring or another piece of jewellery and sticking plastic casing over it. 😐

I use cases because I want my watch / gadgets fully protected from when I'm training, gardening, faffing with my cars etc... I do not like damaged goods

And because I do stupid stuff like this for fun... 😂

Has anyone had issues with nusic\audiobooks etc randomly pausing when using headphones? I have Sony wf-1000xm4's currently it started on Friday when I was on a plane fixed it by manually turning Bluetooth off and on again via settings, restart did nothing.

I Thought it was sorted but as I am 4 hours into a 5 hour delay now, I listened to a shortish WhatsApp voice note and same thing happened. It's a tad annoying 😂. Sometimes it lasts 3\4's of a song sometimes 5 seconds. Then it unpauses automatically.

I have tried a few different buds with the phone so far no issues. I will keep a close eye on it. I'm usually testing while at the gym and phone calls only.

Well I will say this as an Apple guy. I really had a belief system that when Apple rolled out Dark icons for Dark Mode, that by the time the RC came out, every app would conform and change. But I have close to 30 apps that still don't change.

Yeah I know, first world problems. But this is something I would expect from Android, not from Apple. Gotta play it fair all around. Bad look for Apple.

Haha I think that the new wallpapers are one of the things listed as "new" for this year's iPhone.
"New wallpapers"
Along with "all new design" (which did make me lol). Plus "new button".
And 20 mins on the chip as there was nothing else to actually talk about. 😅🥱
Yeah that was bad. Even for me, I said I wasn't going to upgrade this year but figured Apple's marketing would woo me. Nope. Not even touching the 16 Pro Max.

I do like the number 16. I think I'm going to keep my trend going with an upgrade to iPhone 18 Pro Max. I'd love to see a foldable before the 18 then I would definitely go in regardless

Am sure there's lots justifying the "upgrade" to be able to use the "new" video capture features, of which precisely no one other than content creators will use.
But hey, people could say the same about the Pixel 8 to 9 Pro, but at least they actually look different and have had improvements (screen, battery) etc.

The non Pro, as per last year too, is still the better buy for anyone wanting an iPhone. Just a shame it's 60hz.

For sure. From what I've read, it looks like the Pixel 9 Pro really improved over the 8. That looks like a really solid upgrade. I haven't had a Pixel since the 3 or 4, I think. I can't remember, lol.

I feel like the last 5 years, the odd number iPhones have offered some really solid upgrades and the even numbers haven't.

Developers haven’t been allowed to update their apps yet. That starts on September 16. The only icon changes you are seeing are ones made by Apple, not developers.

Man I kinda wish Google kept the Bay with the pixel 9 series. Apple did a great job with the colours on the base 16 this year.
The new colors are one area Apple excelled this year but otherwise, nothing noteworthy IMO. Most of the significant updates seem to be software related, which is fine. It’s just a little sad when for the first time, I have zero compulsion to upgrade my iPhone hardware.

Hahaha I always use it. I think it’s seconds before and after hitting the shutter. I like that it captures the while moment and also sounds. Don’t take pics of landscapes so it’s useful.
Careful: Google's version does not capture sound and is lower res. I really miss live photos from iOS.

Anyone got the Pixel Watch 3 in 45mm? How is it?

Google have just sent me an email with a code for £100 off the Pixel Watch 3, that makes the 45mm £299 instead of £399 AND also they are giving £50 in store credit when buying a Pixel Watch 3.
