I've noticed that on my Apple Watch (watchOS 26.3 beta) workout summary screen, the dismiss target is both:

- highlit when I press it (see pic) and
- has a larger tap target

This does NOT appear to be the case on my wife's watch (watchOS 26.2).

Anyone else seeing this? This old news?

GREAT video from Apple Support, walking through set up of "Stolen Device Protection" and locking apps.

That second lets you lock and hide specific apps, adding another layer of protection if your iPhone is stolen.

Worth watching, passing along...

Apple's official list of all the cars that support CarPlay. Useful if you're thinking about a new car.

Side note, if a model has a key icon to the left of it, it supports Apple's "car key", meaning you can store a digital key on your iPhone.

- Net price: $1199

Black Friday price on Amazon:

Apple introduces iPhone Pocket.

OK, I get that this type of phone carrier is quite popular in parts of the world, much like the crossbody strap.

But the price. Oof.

- $149.95 for the short strap
- $229.95 for the shoulder strap

Anyone buying this?
