Apple Watch announcements

Kudos to Apple for not exploiting us all and making these new features only available in the newest model. They didn’t have to do that. Give them credit.

I switched to garmin because of the battery life. I charge my watch once a week now. I had to charge my Apple Watch at night before and could never get my sleep numbers. There are things I miss about my Apple Watch but the battery issue was the biggest issue.

Green Eyes on TikTok

Thanks for making this video because I was about to buy 11 watch, now I’m just going to 10 watch on discount.

New selfie cam on the iPhone 17

I have a 15 pro, but I’m considering upgrading to the 17 pro for the selfie camera and the cooling feature since my phone gets hot. Also extra battery is always nice .

Andrea on TikTok

I think this is gonna be big for content creators/vloggers.
