Hello Simon, You make an excellent point. You know, I do like to watch old episodes of the Twilight Zone and Star Trek on my 8 Plus. I can enjoy the video easily enough, most of the time. Yesterday, I had the sales person play a few videos and, no doubt because of my poor vision, I did not

Donna, You are going to absolutely adore your series 4. Other than its size, I was amazed at how much faster it appeared to function, in the short time that I played with it, than even the Series 2. Mark -Original Message- From: 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries

And here's another take on the Apple Watch. I'm eagerly awaiting my Series 4. But I'm still sporting a Series 1, and it's so slow as to almost be more of a hinderance than a help. So, for me the display size had nothing to do with the purchase decision. I want the power and speed, which I'm

Just press record Siri shortcut

I read somewhere that just press record is now working with Siri shortcuts. I went into the Siri settings, and I didn’t see any shortcuts for that app. I see shortcuts for a Overcast, Mail, Weather, and Safari. But nothing for just press record. What am I missing? Mary Sent from my iPhone --

As you said, Mark, that was your opinion. I can’t imagine what that big phone looked like. I know I wouldn’t want one. The thing about these phones is there so much better design. You don’t need a honking big thing to get a nice large display these days. I think that is to be cheered not

I could be wrong here but as far as i know, the only action that has the ”show when running” option is the send messages action. In my case there is a speed dial shortcut and when you run it, you are placed in the shortcuts app after the shortcut is run. /Krister > 21 sep. 2018 kl. 22:28 skrev
