I agree. Some of the LTT content is just so in the weeds, I stop the video half way through. Sarah is much more interesting for the regular stuff without telling me which GPU setting is necessary in the Bios to play Counterstrike 2.
The assistive touch double tap / clench aren’t particularly consistent. Either lots of false triggers or you have to go through extra steps of an activation gesture. So far it hasn’t seemed like the S9 version makes a meaningful difference.
Its actually 1 sec and 500 milisec to detect, not 1 sec and 50 milisec. This pinch feature is useful for people who only have 1 hand. The major feature will be when apple watch can detect butt clench so you can set more custom actions.
As a woman, I like seeing Sarah review and wear different tech products like this. When I watch reviews for Apple products, it’s mostly men who encourage getting the max size in phones or watches or other brands’ headphones saying it’s worth the upgrade, but it’s much easier for me to get an idea for what size to get when occasionally other women review these products so I don’t have absurdly large tech on my arm and can tell what size to order since I also don’t have an Apple Store near me to be able to go and look at things beforehand. Just a minor thing but I appreciate it and she has a fun personality too! Thanks for the variety on this channel.
Lesa from Mobile Tech Review has been the one person reviewing tech who happens to be a woman. I'd say regardless of content over 70% of my subscriptions on youtube are men.
When the double tap was announced and people online started pointing out that assistive touch already provides that functionality, I tried it out on my SE and I use it all the time now. Mostly for playing/pausing music and returning to the watch face, but I find it to work pretty well and I really enjoy the feature. I still can’t figure out what the difference between the new double tap functionality and assistive touch is…
I heard disabled people are more likely to use something if they don't feel like it is targeting them. That's why you see those dumb commercials with the black and white segment of someone utterly failing life before they introduce the product. "look even normal people struggle with this task." plus it gives them something to market to make the new one look like it has more cool new features.
I'm not a potential customer for an apple watch but i really liked the video just the way sarah does it. My only criticism is that she repeated some the meaningless marketing blabla from apple, like probably noone can make something of the amount of "neural cores" or transistors, it's just something apple puts in their keynote thats supposed to make people go "oooh" and "aaaah"😅
I've been using the assistive touch feature on my Apple Watch Ultra for a few weeks now which is very similar to the "double tap" feature and I find it super handy. For example, say I am riding my bike and I get a phone call. In the past I would have to try to answer it with my nose but now I can just double tap my fingers and it answers. Handy for dissmissing alarms and timers as well. I think it's handy to have. Dont expect to be able to control your whole watch though, its just a simple tool for when your other hand is busy.
just came here to say that the Peanuts / Snoopy & Woodstock watch face made my series 7 about 20000 times better, it's the only one i am using for the past few weeks.
Always has been. I remember for example many years ago when House of Marley literally made a " green marketing promo" about their headphones beeing recycle friendly while other companies were already recycle friendly many many years before... So these are just marketing words... To do something for your planet: stop wasting evergy/fuel/etc. I literally saw friends with electric cars beeing like "I'm environmental friendly" and when I was like: we can meet up in the middle and they were like "nah I'll do 80km more because I want to"...
@@TrioLOLGamerstbf if they have an electric car and you don't, then not meeting in the middle is more environmentally friendly. Unless you were going to use public transit.
This girl is great! Fun to watch and not like a robot like a lot of other tech reviewer videos I watch and fall asleep too. Looks like she is having fun. Love the humor. Great video!
Even my Watch SE can be controlled without touching it, via Gestures, and it works phenomenally well, for which I'm extremely thankful, as I'm actually disabled and need to be able to control a device even when I don't have a second hand free, as that second hand is glued to the one crutch that's keeping me (somewhat) upright.
Don't understand the beta upgrade talk... the Gesture feature has been part of Apple Watch for several years now, to be found under Accessiblity settings. As I said, even my low-end SE has that feature, and I've had this watch for ... 3 or 4 years now, IIRC.
We want more Sarah on this channel. She’s funny, enthusiastic, and gives the Everyman (or everywoman) review of new tech (especially Apple, since most of you hate Apple).
I loved my series 7 45mm. I love my apple watch ultra 1. i do not need the ultra 2. Yes i want the ultra 2 for the U2 chip, even brighter screen (although it doesnt really need to be more than 2000 nit), new interface for doubble tap, etc, but i simply cant justify upgrading the apple watch i already found as my perfect watch. maybe the ultra 3 or when i have infinite money xD
I dont think much tbh, they are using the new neural engine for more reliable processing, but I have been using the double pinch for a while (Though its not amazing on older models) & You cant use it for as many things when using the old version
Would this be a upgrade to a person that never has owned a Apple Watch. I have a Fitbit sense. That double tap finger thing I think is so cool my Fitbit is 3 years old
report from the New Climate Institute (a Germany-based think tank for climate policy) says: "It is an inaccurate exaggeration to imply that the company’s products are anywhere close to having reached the point of having no climate footprint." despite Apple's leadership in reducing carbon emissions and the alluring warm glow of that new 'carbon neutral' logo, it's really just another example of its famous marketing distortion field.
tbh it really isn't. i remember reports from last year, that ski-regions had to auto-deny emergency calls from apple-watches, because 99% of them were accidental and they clogged the emergency service line
Can we get an in-depth LTT video on "carbon neutral" claims of companies. What does that mean exactly? What does the company actually do to make its product(s) "carbon neutral". How can we fact check those companies? And no the answer: "They plant a few extra trees." is not in-depth enough.
@@Sassi7997 and that is exactly why we need an in-depth video on this. Sarah says without question: "Carbon neutral a great direction for Apple. I hope they (Apple) push it more." I know it is a ShortCircuit video but come on. Don't just eat up the Apple maketing. Show your journalistic side.
carbon neutral means that all materials to make the product are done using less than 0,02% carbon emissions (plastic melting is done using 250°C hot air instead of gas for instance… and majority of machinery are low energy or self-powering (using the rotating parts to power dynamo’s to power the next parts etc)
Pro Tip Sarah, that button which makes the phone ring, you can actually hold that down and the phone will not only ring, but also have the flashlight strobe super bright for the same duration as the pinging.
You have to open the watch gestures on your iPhone, it tells you there what each gesture is and how to activate them, you also customize how the gestures work, I have the double pinch set up to Shazam songs
Not wa tching the video cus the product is not for me. However the video title leads me ton one question. Does this product make a person Chronokinetic?
I'm sure you tried it, but every time I go to set up a new Apple device from an existing iPhone, I need to restart the existing iPhone to get it to work. I think if the phone hasn't been rebooted in a while it likes to fail. I don't think I've run a phone down to 0% for years and don't really reboot so if Sarah's similar I bet it's the same issue.
I mean, I a paper really the worst thing for the environment? Trees are a renewable resource, it’s way better than plastic…. And the footprint of the paper box is minuscule compared to the watch itself…. Even if they claim everything is “recycled”
Paper is definitely better than plastic, but it's not as simple as then just being a renewable resource. The process of making paper and cardboard can produce a lot of co2, or consume too much water, and it becomes wasteful if it is single use. Or if not properly recycled. Same thing with glass, it has to be reused to actually achieve carbon neutrality.
They need a forest green one or pearl green or even emerald green but overall it’s way to expensive for me so you would never see me with one and she is pretty awesome lady
If you tab the count on the workout it will start right away. You don't need to wait for it the count down to 1 and start you can just start once you tab on the counter.
I had my Series 3 for so long until I upgraded to the Series 8. I can easily wait another few years or until there's huge redesign before I upgrade again.
