How long is the intermission?

The big takeaway is that the iPad Pro with the M1 is still holding very strong and those who are looking to upgrade from M1 to M5 may not really see much of a difference unless you're doing rendering/photo/video editing

Even with Optimized Charging turned OFF, you still have to check on the watch and choose "Charge to full now".....mind you that at 9:30 pm it didn't want to charge it to 100% until 7:30 PM THE NEXT DAY

The Ultra 3 battery charging has to ALWAYS be overridden when you have 80% or so left, I like going to bed with it at 100%.

I did upgrade from the iPhone 15 Pro to the iPhone 17 Pro but also felt like it was a minor-ish upgrade but $1100 off was a factor there as well

I did upgrade my 2021 Apple Watch 7 to the new Ultra 3...that is a big upgrade although the optimized charging (cannot be turned off no matter what you do) is driving me fucking crazy
