@ammarmalik1 @jezperse @gruber @daringfireball Yep, that's my experience with my job-issued Thinkpad. Also, the screen is so dim that I first thought it was broken, and sometimes I can hear some high pitched noises coming from the USB-C port while it's charging.

@jezperse @gruber @daringfireball We have 2020 Thinkpads from work. Creaky, flexy chassis. Loud af fans. Gets insanely hot. Overrated keyboard. Terrible trackpad.

@atpfm I keep hearing people saying that switching the iPhone to USB-C would have the benefit of higher transfer speeds. But the Lightning port can already support USB 3 speeds and actually did in the first couple iPad Pro models. macrumors.com/2015/11/12/ipa…

@atpfm From my experience, glasses from online stores are significantly cheaper than from traditional optometrist shops. I paid $100 for a pair with an Oakley frame, including anti-scratch and anti-reflective coating on the lenses. With cheaper frames it can get as low as 40$.

@TwitterSupport Hi, my Twitter app seems to be broken. It adds "Related Tweets" under replies that are not at all related with the original tweet as stated. These are often obnoxious tweets that I don't want to see or care about, and it makes me want to use your service less.

@NanoRaptor Haha! I was just rewatching this Techmoan video featuring the Schaub Lorenz 5001 Music Centres, which was essentially a large iPod from the 60s that could hold 46 hours of audio! youtu.be/xE2GEmHque8

@imyke @_connectedfm @ismh I guess the numbers could reduce the visibility of the icon and/or vice versa. Anyway I can still get the percentage in Control Center or in a widget when I'm closer, so Apple probably made the right decision like you were saying. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Cheers! :)

@imyke @_connectedfm @ismh Indeed, it's not a big deal for me. I mentioned my situation to provide a use case for combining both designs (filling battery + percentage) that you may have not thought about. Such a design would enable a quick glance from further away, and a more precise number from up close.

@atpfm You'll be pleased to learn that the Music app in iOS 16 now remembers what you were listening to, including the play position. And that even after quitting the app, rebooting or even after installing a new beta!

@ItsLew1s @9to5mac I don't think the message is directly linked to the capacity %. I suspect it happens after the phone had to throttle once (or maybe more), which could happen in various circumstances when the battery gets old. FYI I live in a country with cold winters and hot summers.

@9to5mac Multiple times a day: to control HomeKit lights, get the weather, make phone calls, control audio playback, set timers/alarms, calculations and unit conversions. It works very well for these.

@NanoRaptor Does anyone replying that this would have been good/useful remembers how the Control Strip worked? Clicking on these buttons would bring up pop-up menus that would not even fit on the Touch Bar...

@ramkanda @steveriggins @ParkerOrtolani Aside from the Apple TV box itself and the millions of iPhone and iPads, the Apple TV app is also available on many others devices including Roku, Fire Stick, PS4 and most recent smart TVs.

@OvercastFM Great update! Suggestion: an "Always Use Light Theme" option. I keep my iPhone system setting to dark mode, but I think the redesign looks better in light mode.
