Idk why you’re being downvoted. You’re completely right

I don’t see what’s wrong with having the option. If it’s a setting, then people like you don’t have to turn it on. And people who want to see the main part of an image on their smaller display can so that too. It’s a win win

I wouldn’t say so. My Apple Watch shows a ridiculous amount of useful information on my watch face and I can easily find any other info I need with it. It’s also got a lot of health and fitness features which can be extremely helpful and potentially life saving. In addition to all of that, the rest of the features are helpful too. Whether some might find them to be redundant or intrusive, I and clearly many others find them to be useful. Just because you don’t find a use for it, doesn’t make it bad.

I use my iPhone extensively and it consistently lasts me all day. The iPhone 11 Pro came with a 20w charger in the box (although admittedly they removed the power adapter from the 12)

It’s actually been working really well for me on the latest beta. Seems they’ve improved the system

It is definitely just Bluetooth. Works exactly the same way it worked with AirPods before they added ultra wide band

Dude, watch the video. This wasn’t done by Apple. It was modded by ELO, a company which is still around today. They made it for shopping centre payment stations and other similar use cases. And frankly, from the looks of it in the video, it worked just as well as they do today (which is to say mediocre at best).

Parcel (all platforms): the best shipment tracker you’ll ever use

Solves (all platforms): it’s basically identical to the built in calculator but is 1,000,000x better

Music Library Tracker (iOS, iPadOS): keeps track of the change in your Apple Music library and can automatically make a spatial audio playlist for you

Mlem (iOS, iPadOS): the best Lemmy client

Vinegar (all platforms): a Safari extension that makes YouTube use the native video player, adds PiP for free and removes ads!

Baking Soda (all platforms): replaces custom video players in other sites with the native one

Crouton (all platforms): a natively built recipe manager. I don’t use it much but it’s really well made

MacWhisper (macOS): uses openAI’s whisper model to create super accurate transcriptions of audio and video files

Monitor Control (macOS): allows you to control the brightness of external monitors (other than Apple’s)

Calipers Tape Measure (iOS): a super accurate set of Calipers for your iPhone

Cric Pulse (iOS): the only cricket app with live activities

I cannot recommend Crouton enough https://apps.apple.com/app/id1461650987

All this means is that it’s opt out, rather than opt in. They’re not saying that there’s no way to disable it. In fact there’s already a way to disable it

As far as I’m aware, on the App Store, reviews only count for the platform that you review on. So if you go look at an iOS app on the Mac App Store, you’d see different reviews than that same app on the iOS App Store. Presumably, it would be the same here
