I tend to hoard electronics, so I had both of them around just had to find them.

Troll? Your username literally says android you simp.

Wow that's crazy. I'll say I actually got the ionic for free from a friend who was a Fitbit employee (now retired employee) who had an extra laying around his house and he just gave it to me. So was great to get funds for it for my next watch!

Makes me laugh how much Reddit goes on about the “notch” and cameras bugging them, I have never given it an ounce of thought watching videos or anything

Mountains out of molehills in this echo chamber

Regardless if the watch works you could have submitted it for recall to get your full money back. Not sure if it's too late but if you have the bad watch you could try.

Literally threw the watch away after that support session. In order to qualify for this new refund, you have to send your watch back.

As someone who has the island its quite nice actually. If anything Id prefer it over the underscreen shit. It needs a lot more apps to use it but it works a lot like alt tabbing or as a mini task bar.

Having notification icons like on Android will make the top portion of the screen very messy... no thanks, I like how it's clear and minimal right now

The Dynamic Island is here to stay. Even if Apple removed all cutouts and hid the cameras and sensors under the display (making it 100% all screen), they will still keep the Dynamic Island in some form.

I didn't even deal with it, I moved to garmin when my second ionic stopped working. Bought a venu then a Fenix 7ss when the 7 was released and then a couple of months later decided to upgrade to the 7x. Haven't looked back.

You'll get your money back. I had 2 that I got refunded for, 1 didn't last through a hot shower and I didn't feel like dealing with support so I bought another with the intention of eventually doing so.

Long story short, there is a portal to claim a refund, I got back everything I spent on them.

Why are you sharing a 1 year old article lol

Gotta wonder how many of those are just ports of existing titles.

Totally... but its worse than that for. It not just that 5% that ends up killing the experience (although it totally does), its that simple shit takes way longer and is way more cumbersome on ios, which really drags down the whole experience to the point I don't want to use it.

For example, I often have to attach pages from documents I reference to the end of a letter. It is a goddamn nightmare to print pages 8-12 of a twenty-page document and then merge that with another or two other pdfs. I tried to do this on my iPad and it took like 20 min of research, 10 min of messing with the os until I finally pulled it off.

In Windows or mac OS, this is a drag-and-drop operation that takes 15 seconds, but with iOS it takes like 10 times longer, even when I know what to do.

IDK... I'm just mad because it could be perfect. A simple dual-boot option would solve all of these problems, and the only reason we don't have it is that apple thinks they can churn 1~2.5k out of you for a MacBook air or pro. I don't even need touch control in Mac OS because the only reason I'm end up booting into mac OS is when I need to get work done, so I'll have a mouse and keyboard handy. Not that I even need a mouse because apple has a touchpad in their overpriced keyboard.

I'm being a broken record here, but the work's already been done... Apple sells a macos laptop that a keyboard, screen, and touch pad. The iPad has a screen, touchpad and keyboard, what the problem here?

Mine died 3 months outside the warranty period. They offered me a 20% off coupon. No repair option.

Username. It was the username that gave it away.

It's annoying at best.
Although what Apple is pushing for I think is it'll be the dynamic island when needed and full screen when not needed. Therefore we get the best of both.

What gave it away? That I didn't feel the need to tell you what device I'm using because I think it's a status symbol?

My moms blew up on her arm! Luckily she just had a little burn, they did replace the Fitbit though she didn’t ask for anything else

Jesus, I am so damn defensive over the dumbest shit. This went so far over my head it may as well have been a Chines spy balloon.

This post is like a timewarp back a year ago. Thanks for the memories.
