    🙄 I just hope that double tap works better than Mr. Miyagi catching flies with Chinese chopsticks…..😂

    As MXBHD mentioned – Apple’s use of USB-C wont utilize typical USBC speeds seen on non iPhones. The Base model Iphone 15 USBC transfer speed will remain the same as it was on lighting, and the Pro USBC will work as fast as USB3 – WTF? Why? All those large photos and spacial videos will take forever to download!!

    This lady and the guy with the thick glasses are the best CNET reviewers. The rest of CNET people suck, and should be fired.

    Great, talking to my watch about my mental and/or physical condition. That’s gonna be fun. Also: “Hey Siri, my wife started her period” could invoke automatic Alexa Amazon orders for Diet 7-Up, Mothers cookies, and Premsyn and also a Pagliacci pizza delivery since I suck at cooking. I just hope my wife does not misinterpret my double tap as anything remotely negative towards her 😑

    ill just keep my 12 mini until they come out with a new mini.

    Bridgett I love your sarcasm. It was totally appropriate and very funny. As a hearing impaired person it will be interesting to see if “Tap” actually works right or not. I’m also hoping that there might be a “One More Thing” nugget hidden in the watch that will make it a little more friendly to those of us who don’t hear very well. Be well!

    Yes, I have the 13 mini the pink one and if the iPhone 15 in the pink was a mini I would be all over it. I’m still hoping they will make the pro max in this beautiful shade of pink I would go full tilt 1TB, but as for now skipping the 15 like I skipped the 14, but the pink Apple Watch is fire. The pro maxes colors are boring, yawn. I don’t care what material they’re made from.

    Yeah, can we have this lady doing all the reviews? I actually sat here any watched the whole video instead of skipping around. Thank you! 🙂

    I hope the next innovation of the Apple watch is a Geiger counter.

    The new old same iPhone is garbage. A whole lot of big words and nonsense that doesn’t matter. This is crap 5x zoom when Samsung does 200x zoom. I mean Apple has not done anything worth buying since Steve Jobs. This phone still still can’t do real multitasking. I mean, how hard is it to put two apps on the same screen at the same time? This is HORRIBLE!!!!!!

    I really just want an Apple Watch band that looks cool, works for the gym and work, and feels good on the wrist. Can’t find something that checks all the boxes.

    I think the worst part about the mini not getting new versions is that the people clutching their minis until they die is that they will all be left on lighting accessories/cables while the rest of the iPhone user base slowly but surely becomes USB. Maybe they’ll do a 16 mini or just an SE with USBC that fills that niche.

    Samsung got 100x optical zoom way behind.

    Truthfully the iPhone 15 is basically the same as 14 and 13 but with usb C 😅

    so listen, iphone 15 cost 800$ iphone 14 pro cost 800-900$, but you have 120hz, lider scanner, macro photo, x3 zoom, always on display… why would anyone buy the 15 when you can for the same price buy the 14 pro with all the extra!!! dont be stupid

    You know what would really help the environment? If Apple told people with AirPods Pro with the lightning port charging case to bring it back to the store and exchange it for the USB C case for free or a symbolic fee, not having to buy another set of AirPods Pro to get the UBS C charging case

    Side note: as usual Bridget never misses a mark, she is not impressed by the silly phrases and numbers Apple throws at us and tells it like it is

  40. Steve803

    You should make a video every day! You get the news out and you’re funny.

    I have “Double Tap” on my Watch 6… It’s called double pinch in accessibility settings…

  42. HumNYC

    Would’ve definitely gotten the Watch Ultra 2 had it come in a dark titanium color. But now that iPhone can be in differently-colored titanium, that opens up more options for Watch Ultra someday!

    This was great 😊 thank you

    Not the title having “This is actually useful!” trying to convince the otherwise dissapointed public.

    When a Bridget video drops you know it’s gone be informative & fun with her unique eye gestures 🥰👏

    Bridget could convince me to buy a broken down Chevy Pinto.

    I own the iPhone 12…I’m still affected with Covid ruining my finances and I cannot find a justifiable reason to upgrade.

    Also I wish there was a way to suggest features you can add to iOS…there’s one I’d love!

  49. Paul Kahn

    September 17, 2023 at 12:39 pm

    Admittedly, I haven’t fully researched this BUT…in my initial investigation, I can’t finance my new $1000+ iPhone unless I select Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile as my carrier. The T-Mobile option is available at BestBuy, not Apple. Please let me know if I’m correct in my suspicion or (hopefully) wrong and I can finance an unlocked iPhone 15.

  50. Sure you bett
