@numericcitizen I like a good hobby, but on Substack? Yikes.

@ChrisLawley Yupper

@numericcitizen that’s actually kind of fun. Lol

@nickheer Gross.

@jsonbecker I thought I was going to hate the new full-screen scroll view for workouts…but I kinda like it. Actually seem faster to me.

@jsonbecker I’ve been setting mine up this afternoon and I totally agree. I was expecting it to feel heavy, but it’s not bad. It’s balanced well, and the smoother corners feel nice. Plus, symmetry, finally, on the bottom edge after years and years!

@manton 👀

@Miraz I’ve been doing that for years! Never have to worry about the “day watch” not being charged the next day by using an old watch as the “night watch”. Weird about the passcode though.

@manton That sounds very cool.

@matt_birchler Whoa.

@jsonbecker Wow, great service!

@numericcitizen That does look nice. It sort of leans into their existing aesthetic.

@matt_birchler And did he get fired from Fox like Matthew Dowd did from MSNBC for being “insensitive” about Kirk’s murder?

@ismh86 Bummer! It was the smoothest in years for me. I woke up at 8:30a eastern, didn’t remember for a few minutes that I had something to do, then clicked the store notification and had checked out with launch day delivery within 40 seconds. Pro, 256, Orange. I bet that’s what they made the most of.

@agiletortoise Not sure if this was intention, or supposed to be “now much easier”.

@stephenrobles

@jarrod I’m feeling more secure in my pre-pre-order of a Cosmic Orange 17 Pro.

@jddavis And then you and I both sent them screenshot within 7 minutes of each other 🤣 jb.heydingus.net/2025/09/1…

@birming You and me both! heydingus.net/blog/2025…

@birming @Havn @imyke @matt_birchler I wonder if that’s why they opened with the “design is how it works quote” this time. They’ve leaned into function over form this round. I think I agree that the Pixel lineup looks overall more balanced and aesthetically pleasing. But the iPhone Air is pretty gorgeous.

@bapsi Good question! I’m pretty sure I went from Series 5 to Ultra 1 — I don’t think I had any in-betweens.

@simonbs Wow! Were there even watches compatible with that feature out then?

@manton Yeah, especially as they leaned into the “iPhone 16 family” phrasing this year. I guess the Air isn’t part of the 17 family.

@BasicAppleGuy A marvel!

@stephenrobles Glad I still have the original!
