Or in the control panel you can hit Airplane Mode, which is Right Friggin' Next to Them. You even get slashes drawn through the bluetooth and wifi indicators showing that they're now disabled.
So you start by saying that the problem is branding everything someone says as invalid, then you finish by doing exactly that. Useful, isn't it? Nobody has the time or resources to independently vet every utterance. If someone has repeatedly made outlandish claims, then it's expedient to start by assuming their next claim is suspect.
These networks do have connectivity, in a sense. It's just they corral your connection until you get past the interstitial page. That's where the watch is getting stuck. The internet is not "down" in the way you're talking about, it's confined to a tiny box. The watch is supposed to avoid those networks, but there's a bug.
You joke, but that could be the problem, actually.
The problem is real. What is happening is that the watch is connecting to one of those "capture" networks that have an interstertial page at connect time, such as one might find at a Starbucks or McDonald's. The watch should be avoiding those networks, but because of this bug the "connected" Wifi network is used instead of the cellular.
This is a real and likely embarrassing problem that I am sure Apple is working very hard to fix right now.
what makes you think my temperature is abnormally high? I'm just talking. This is not an exciting thing to me. And if anything you can see by my comment that I don't think this will be replacing bodegas.
I was replying to the distributor comment. I don't know the answer to your question. This isn't going to replace a whole store, obviously, but if they cherry-pick the most profitable items it will hurt them. I'm skeptical, but if it somehow works then there's really nothing that can be done. Neighborhood bodegas rely on being able to charge more than the big stores in exchange for convenience. If that convenience can be found at a lower price then that's where people will shop. But I think they underestimate the problems.
Not likely. Everything about this says taking the distributors and inefficient parts of the supply chain out of the picture.
Somebody's going to have to keep it stocked and in good repair. Typically that's an independent owner grinding out a living who's going to pay close attention to each machine they own. That keeps all the incentives lined up. Paying an employee to do it is just asking for second rate service.
I still don't want the cops or other criminals able to unlock my phone by aiming the screen at me.
It's not just you, nobody does, not even Apple. That's exactly why they built in a way to quickly and discreetly disable it. You can even do it while it's still in your pocket.
The other thing (besides sounding good) is that I want them to be earbuds.
The apple ear buds carry case also charges them. So if the five hours of straight battery life is not enough, 15 minutes in the case fully recharges them. Not perfect, of course, but not bad. My problem is they don't fit me.
For example, my beard length changes over several months
They addressed that in the presentation, using the specific example of going from clean shaven to starting to grow a beard, and it will learn and adapt. Also glasses, hat and scarf, etc. If it works as well as they claim it's damn impressive.
But a phone that unlocks when it sees your face is one that the police can confiscate and unlock by simply aiming it at your face.
It's easy to quickly and discreetly disable it. You don't even have to take it out of your pocket. Once you do that it requires a passcode to unlock. And as a last resort, it won't unlock if you're not looking at it.

lol do you live in a checkbox world? Is there no level of nuance at all, just either yes or no?
You don't even have to do that. Just squeeze both sides. Briefly holding buttons on both sides disables it.

The pattern is that your seem to gather knowledge by reading headlines. Surely a moment's thought would tell you how ridiculous that sounds.
Not only do you get scanned, you get rejected. Oh the humanity.

I'm not sure why you're telling me this. I didn't write anything about heart monitoring or tattoos.
I don't know what that sentence means.

The whole thread was around the missing headphone jack on the iPhone. Even in your own post.
ok, never mind. I was fooled by your sig.
Google as well will ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack and nobody seems to care

I am. But not on my phone.
They addressed that in the presentation, using the specific example of going from clean shaven to starting to grow a beard, and it will learn and adapt. Also glasses, hat and scarf, etc. If it works as well as they claim it's damn impressive.
Also doesn't work. They even used molded masks in testing and training.
Buy the rumor and anticipation, sell the news. A Wall Street truism for a hundred years.
It doesn't. You have to be looking at it and you have to make a gesture. As for the "plain on" button, you can do that too.
