OUTLINELY SHORTCUTS SERIES
The Series 4 also includes the Home app which allows me to quickly trigger my home connected devices from the watch, either manually or by issuing a Siri command. I also wanted the larger display and the Infograph face that allows for more complications which I do have a habit of using. There are several features I like about the Series 4, but I was really looking forward to an always-on display mode for the Apple Watch, because I think it would make the watch look more like a real watch instead of a shutdown miniature computer screen.īut I broke down and got the Series 4 because the latest version of the watchOS doesn’t support the original watch.
Up until this the last week in December, after Christmas day, I finally replaced the original version of the Apple Watch with the Series 4. This past September, Apple released the Apple Watch Series 4. Though I issue occasional Siri commands to navigate my Apple Music library and to trigger connected remote devices, including my hot water pot and office lamp, Apple should have a device that displays custom information throughout the day based on your calendar and other tasks and routines. I’ve been tempted to purchase the Google Home Hub, because I like how it displays information on a small screen. For now, Apple is definitely lagging in the area of home smart devices. Plus, I’m hoping to see over time greater Siri integration in the HomePod. The sound system of the HomePod doesn’t match the Pioneer system, but it looks and sounds decent. My old speaker system was too bulgy on my white Ikea desk, and it required too many wires running along the floor and the top of the two doors.
To enhance the now minimalist style of my office, I also replaced my Pioneer multiple speaker system with the Home Pod. One of my greatest accomplishments this year was decluttering my home office, which entailed donating over 500 used and outdated books and magazines to the local Friends of the Library, and clearing out of numerous gadgets and other junk that I accumulated over the last decade or more. But my 2011 iMac is going to remain my desk for at least another year, unless it stops working or slows down to a crawl.
OUTLINELY SHORTCUTS BLUETOOTH
Because I work at my computer everyday, for five or more hours, I could definitely use more processing speed, and the improved Bluetooth found in the later versions of the iMac. I’m still hanging onto my six year-old iMac, though earlier this year around the same time I purchased the MacBook Air, I had to get the hard drive replaced in my iMac. Not sure how realistic that is, but one can dream. I mean, it would be super cool to go from using macOS to iOS on the same monitor. In my humble opinion, Apple should produce a laptop with a detachable tablet, similar to the Surface Go. I still like the thin design of the MacBook Air, but it’s not a laptop that I want to keep updating every few years. Related article.Apple Diary: Why I Got the Apple Card and How I Use It
