How to Share Your Watch Face from Apple Watch

Did you know that you can share a completely customized Apple Watch face with someone, whether one of your friends or family members? This allows them to use your exact watch face without having to go through all the customization by themselves. Apple provides plenty of customization options for most of the watch faces that are currently available for the Apple Watch. You can personalize it to your liking by adjusting the color, changing the dial-style, and even adding the complications that fit your use case. However, this process may be complicated for someone who’s not super tech-savvy. To make things easier, Apple has given users the option to send watch faces to their contacts, and as long as you are running watchOS 7 or later you’ll have this ability. ★★ Full Article ★★

It’s not just Wordle, the App Store is a total mess

Scams, knockoffs, ripoffs, and fake reviews show how badly Apple needs to clean things up.By Jason CrossStaff Writer,  Macworld JAN 13, 2022 3:30 AM PSTApple’s App Store promotional page proudly proclaims, in big bold letters:For over a decade, the App Store has proved to be a safe and trusted place to discover and download apps. But the App Store is more than just a storefront — it’s an innovative destination focused on bringing you amazing experiences. And a big part of those experiences is ensuring that the apps we offer are held to the highest standards for privacy, security, and content. Because we offer nearly two million apps — and we want you to feel good about using every single one of them.I think for millions of users, that statement is kind of a joke. The App Store is absolutely rife with scam apps, knockoffs, deceptive and exploitive subscription fees, and fake reviews that prop it all up. You need look no further than this week’s Wordle kerfuffle for an example.The proble

So to avoid buying an Apple Watch that is outdated after just a few weeks, you want to time it right.Here’s what we know about Apple Watch release dates and when you should or should not buy. ✿✿ Full Article ✿✿

Apple will allow customers to repair iPhones and Macs in 2022

 Apple has conceded some of the battles it has been fighting with the Right to Repair movement, and for the first time will sell parts and tools directly to consumers with the new "Self Service Repair" program.Announced on Wednesday, the new program will first launch in early 2022 with iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 parts. The company says that parts will expand soon to the Mac with M1 chips."Creating greater access to Apple genuine parts gives our customers even more choice if a repair is needed," said Jeff Williams, Apple's chief operating officer, in a statement. "In the past three years, Apple has nearly doubled the number of service locations with access to Apple genuine parts, tools, and training, and now we're providing an option for those who wish to complete their own repairs."The initial launch period will focus on the most commonly serviced modules, such as the iPhone display, battery, and camera. Additional components will be available later in 2022, Apple says. ★★ Full Article ★★

Apple may make smart necklaces, bracelets, and key rings

 Apple already uses the term "wearables" to cover the Apple Watch and AirPods, but now it could be looking to expand into many more items from key rings and door knob hoops, to bracelets and necklaces.Apple has long been rumored to be researching smart rings, but a newly-revealed patent shows it could have designs on many more wearables."Wearable loops with embedded circuitry," is concerned with how "an electronic device... may have a fabric cord and a housing unit."It's really one idea with very many applications, and all of them are to do with the ability to wear a device — or to have it small enough to become something like a key ring."Electronic devices may be worn on a user's body or may be attached to an object," says the patent. "For example, an electronic device may have a loop, band, or string-like shape that can be looped around, tied to, hung on, or otherwise attached to a person, animal, or object." ✿✿ Full Article ✿✿

What Wi-Fi 6E means for the future of the iPhone

 New frequency spectrum means faster speed and better reliability.It was just a few short years ago when we told you about a then-upcoming wireless technology called Wi-Fi 6. At the time, what was once known as 802.11ax was henceforth given a much more consumer-friendly name, and previous convoluted Wi-Fi standards got similar names: 802.11ac became Wi-Fi 5, 802.11n became Wi-Fi 4, and so on.And now we have an even newer name, Wi-Fi 6E. In short, it’s an updated version of Wi-Fi 6  that includes access to the new 6GHz frequency band. But while it doesn’t bring new technology over Wi-Fi 6, this new frequency could be a huge deal and will make a major impact on the future of wireless networking. Recent rumors suggest that Wi-Fi 6E could show up as early as the iPhone 14. ★★ Full Article ★★

How to Use YouTube’s Video Quality Settings on iPhone & iPad

 Do you watch a lot of YouTube videos on your iPhone and iPad? If you’re someone who likes to fiddle around with the video quality settings rather than sticking to the one that’s automatically set by YouTube, you may have noticed that things have changed in the YouTube app on iPhone and iPad. The YouTube app has received some updates to its user interface and the service now offers a wider variety of video resolution options. Until now, when you accessed your video quality settings, you were able to quickly select from a bunch of available resolutions. That’s not the case anymore, since YouTube has added some basic video quality settings to the mix and moved the resolutions to a separate section altogether. ★★ Full Article ★★
