As a ladies man, I put the ribs on top, which is outside and is more attractive for any lucky woman who may be checking out my watch. In other words...

It's ribbed for her pleasure.

You can turn off those notifications and even create a "Sick" focus if you want.

Further, you can adjust your goals when you're sick and even think of them as "Do not exceed" goals.

What Apple shouldn't do is have the same metric for achievement be used to indicate when you haven't achieved something. In other words, if you sprain an ankle, it should still show that you were unable to do X number of steps, not reward you for doing a good number of steps for someone with a sprained ankle.

People here all the time seem to think having an excuse is the same as actual performance. It isn't. It may be the reason the goal wasn't achieved, but it's worth having a record of what you're actually doing instead of mixing excuses with the metrics.

Neither, go 3rd party Starlight.

So many comments, so little reading the article...

This is a weekly summary article by Mark Gurman. It's not "oh duh, there will be an M4". It's pointing out the status and challenges of several things Apple is working on, and who at Apple is responsible for it. That includes:

• A-Series and M-Series
• Modem
• WiFi & Bluetooth
• MicroLED displays
• Noninvasive glucose monitoring
• Custom batteries
• Camera sensors

That's just one section. The full article covers:

Apple’s quest to replace every major part of the iPhone with an in-house design. Also: The company is finally embracing the RCS texting standard; Apple’s revenue share from the Google search deal is revealed in court; and one of its health executives heads to Oura.

I upgrade every year because I have plenty of money and I use my iPhone so much that even a modest upgrade is worthwhile.

The 14 Pro Max improved with Dynamic Island, a much more improved camera, slightly smaller bezels, Always on Display and still had better battery life.

I feel your pain...

A long time ago, I found a security flaw that allowed someone to completely take control of a Mac that was directly connected to the Internet with default settings. The funny thing is that I worked at a fairly major media company producing tech industry news at the time and could've broken this as a story as opposed to telling them confidentially to allow them to fix it before anyone was victimized.

And yet, nothing in terms of credit or compensation. Not even a thank you beyond acknowledging the issue was fixed.

On the plus side, they did patch the flaw which allowed me to feel safer.

I agree with others here. If you want to pursue this, delete this post and contact a lawyer. Or leave this post up as a way of venting and move on. For me, I knew people at Apple and of course could've produced a segment on the whole thing, but meh, I had other stuff going on.

I've upgraded every year since the original iPhone and the iPhone 14 Pro Max to iPhone 15 Pro Max is one of the worst upgrades ever. It's still a great iPhone though. However, the battery life has been very disappointing.

It just seems really inconsistent. I don't have much to base this on, but it feels like Apple made the 15 Pro faster at the expense of heat and battery efficiency, which is a shame because the speed difference is lost on me.

It really seems to make a difference when using the camera. My battery drained swiftly and I got heat warnings when shooting recently around some Mayan ruins. Yeah, it was hot, but my iPhone 14 Pro Max didn't suffer the same under such conditions.

I hope next year Apple focuses on battery efficiency.

Add me to list of people who don’t understand not having a case. For me it’s not about the cost of repair, as much as it is the increased usability (grip and slip protection) and not having to worry about having a broken phone (especially when traveling).

The case covering up the iPhone? Yeah, hey… look at me… I have something that literally a billion other people have!

Certainly Apple is saving money from not including the accessories. They're also making money from selling accessories for those who need them. However, there's still a positive environmental impact because not everyone is buying accessories and are either using ones they already have or using alternatives.

Further, Apple can ship time-insensitive accessories via cargo ship which is far more efficient than the way they ship time-sensitive iPhones via air.

Personally, I always hated getting the accessories because I not only already had them, but preferred to use alternatives. It was just wasteful for people like me. For anyone else, they just have to look at it as the iPhone costing what it does plus the cost of the accessories they need to buy and make their decision accordingly as to whether they want to do that or buy an Android or whatever.

I just don't understand the "don't let people buy a la carte, force everyone to buy a bundle of stuff they may not need" mentality.
