It actually shows up on the lock/Home Screen too if you use the weather one.

Right and I agree with the criticisms as a whole absolutely. Just some of them felt like a bit of a stretch. You might have a different feeling on them though and that’s totally fine.

The message was added after they were called out right?

A company can increase performance of the original device and not mention it that’s up to them as you’re getting more than you paid for now. Lowering the original performance without mentioning it I think should be mentioned as now you’re getting less than you originally paid for regardless if it’s perceptible to the user or not just a bit of transparency.

I definitely agree that the device just shutting off at 30% battery is a super shitty experience and I’m glad they did attempt to resolve that don’t get me wrong. I just personally think they could have said hey we’re doing this to improve your experience that’s it.

There are a few of them and I’d have to go through to really narrow it down mostly just “tone” of it if that makes sense.

One that did stand out to me though was how Linus had very different results compared to other reviewers on I think it was an amd result however Steve said he shouldn’t even consider other reviewers results and should have published his without mentioning that. I disagree. I think it’s fair to point out that you got wildly different results.

Another thing was how he felt that putting annotations on the video when they vocally say something isn’t a good enough correction since people could be listening to only audio. I don’t really think that’s the case when the comparisons they’d be showing are going to be graphs. I think people actually viewing would be looking visually for it and would definitely see those.

Yeah, however them not being transparent and telling users that’s why they were doing it is also pretty shitty.

Watched the whole thing. Many of the criticisms are valid and rightfully called out. However some of them really feel like it’s stretching and reaching beyond that. Of course they’re competitors now so it could be hard to truly remain objective.

Curious what other people thought of it.

I really like the ocean band. It comfortable and because it’s got a tread like pattern stays in place quite well. I have all of the Ultra bands as well as many of the regular ones and I always keep coming back to the Ocean band.

Hopefully this means Apple will also update their own accessories to the fast charging standard too. Looking at you MagSafe duo
