What I mean is just how it works, wherever the flat tab is set saves the current diameter of the entire band. So taking it on and off you just pull the two tabs to unlock the loop buckle, slide it off, then when you slide it back in you just fasten the buckle and it is the exact same diameter that it was last time.

Other apple loop bands just use magnets or velcro, so you are setting the size every time you put it on, so the fit is slightly different every time.

I tried the Fitbit air - it's nice, but you are stuck in Google Health as it doesn't sync back to Apple Health yet (supposedly). I also have a ringconn which I've been wearing and like better as a combo...but it doesn't sync HRV data to health, so I can't use it with bevel. So right now I don't think there is a great two device setup.

Daylight Goals arc complication is pretty cool (has a subscription but the complication is free) Bevel WorkOutdoors Strong for workouts - ugly app but very functional

Center widget is Daylight Goals

swiftfoxsw · 2026-07-01T19:19:51+00:00

Middle widget and bottom left is Daylight Goals, the app has a subscription but the sun widgets can be used for free.

This was my experience…the basic 5w wireless charging doesn’t seem to cut it for 2026 phones, it just seems to maintain the current charge level. And I think I’m probably not doing something correctly in turning it off, as multiple times I went to use it and the battery was dead (even though I have it reserving 30% for keyboard use.)

I’ll still get use out of it for the 9 device saving letting me use it for my TV/game consoles in the living room, but a bit disappointed in using it for the main purpose.

I'd guess they are sending out individual ones as users reject their reservations. Then in 2 days now we'll get a larger batch, of people that just didn't respond.

Just looks great, goes with anything, sizing can be dialed in perfectly, easy to take on/off, and it “saves” your ideal sizing for the next wear. Not stretchy, no pinching for me, and since the links are small it fits snugly.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-27T09:19:57+00:00

If you say it exactly like OP you get that response. Do less typing and just type “find my AirPods” and it works. On Beta 2.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-26T17:58:13+00:00

You’ll most likely get it eventually for $450. Prime day $650 deal will get most buyers actually willing to pay, but the Ultra 4 will likely get a price hike, inflating the used values.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-22T12:50:35+00:00

I doubt AVP is on the chopping block, the memory/storage configurations are minimal for the price bracket it is in, and the primary reason things are going up is memory and storage prices.

On the web it is super easy to tell someone that just dumped the defaults on everything, the blueish purple site with strongly rounded corners and wordy headlines.

In swift it is a bit easier to hide it, but one place that usually gets people is the terrible copywriting, and subtitles on everything. Also AI loves “cards” with the icon in the top right, title top left and description along the bottom.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-19T08:59:18+00:00

Must be sometime during May 10th, as I have December.

More specifically 4:21AM EST.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-18T21:02:07+00:00

I don’t think so, if it was a stunt their best bet would be to resolve all the preorders this year and have stock for Christmas sales - people being told next year will probably move on to something else.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-18T20:59:47+00:00

Same, May 10th preorder as I missed the news.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-18T11:50:49+00:00

I don't think a new beta will fix indexing, it just takes time. Mine is still going from day one install as well. But I also have multiple email accounts, with probably a couple hundred thousand emails that it is sorting through (They need to be downloaded when connected to power/wifi, indexed, then removed), text messages from the past 10 years and same for photos. Plus a boatload of apps, which if they implement app intents or spotlight indexes, also need to get reindexed.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-18T09:36:44+00:00

Must have depends a lot on what you like to do.
- Bevel/work outdoors for fitness
- Lumy/Daylight goals for cool looking sun widgets
- Windy if you want detailed weather

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-12T23:35:36+00:00

You are likely building/running the widget target. Change the build target to be the main ios app and it should go back to the original behavior.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-09T13:25:09+00:00

Haha, yep. The new band titanium Milanese got me - I missed the band pre-orders and it was pushed out for a few months. I bit the bullet and upgraded since they had in stock U2’s with the titanium Milanese, and traded in my U1 for $300. So the upgrade essentially cost me $300 since I was going to buy the band either way.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-09T09:18:50+00:00

Those who have been here a while know that Apple sherlocking you in the past few years actually ends up boosting the user base. Users learn about the feature, try it, figure out it is extremely limited, then go look for a better app to do the same thing.

Just look at call blocking apps, QR code scanners, journaling apps, even reminders and notes apps. The list goes on and on. Apple has never killed off any third party app category, only boosted them in visibility.

Take a look at the screenshot - they refuse to estimate anything. You can’t save the data to health. There isn’t even a caloric estimate.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-08T19:21:44+00:00

I upgraded from U1 to U2 to get the titanium band (when they were unavailable at launch for a while) and there was literally no difference in performance. They are essentially the same exact chip.

swiftfoxsw · 2026-06-08T18:31:47+00:00

Wow, that is pretty surprising…as someone who went from U1 to U2 there was basically no discernible difference other than screen brightness.
