Apple's watchOS10 update has a lot of upgrades for the AppleWatch. But there's one in particular that's more amazing than I had imagined.
A few days ago, I bravely admitted to my colleagues that I rely on an Android tablet for my daily work. “Nadeem, has anyone told you about PCs,” one of my editors replied. “Good god, man, who hurt you?” remarked another senior editor. They’re not wrong, while I remain as shameless as ever in my experimental preference for work machines.
Related One of those sweet surprises On my side of the planet, WhatsApp is the king for video calls. FaceTime, well, it’s a luxury iPhone owners enjoy, just like iMessage. But there’s no green versus blue bubble war here. As such, the overwhelming reliance on these communication pipelines is minimal compared to the U.S.
Tap on it, and you will see what the caller intended to say or show you. The phone app on your Apple Watch will keep the video message neatly saved in the Voice Mail section. Just make sure that you look for people around you before you hit the play button. Distraction? Or maybe, a savior? I have a love-hate relationship with my phone. On one hand, I have to keep an eye on all the social notifications, especially Twitter, to follow the breaking news cycle. Then, there are communication apps such as Slack and Microsoft Teams that get me through a day of work. For someone who is part of a news desk, there’s no skirting around for me.
Call alerts happen to be one of those filtered notifications. Thankfully, with the arrival of watchOS 10 and iOS 17’s video message feature, I can already see myself checking out my voice and video calls messages without having to reach out to my phone and getting lost in a barrage of alluring notifications.
Of course, depending on the specific Apple device in your inventory, the final cost be even more — or less — for you. But let’s just arrive at a median value of $2,000 and broach the question: Is that amount worth the convenience of watching missed FaceTime video messages on a watch? Hell no!
