Also Watch OS 9, but I see iOS 15.7 is also available for me on my 11 Pro Max, so I’m doing that first, just because…

Here’s Watch OS 9…

iOS went in smoothly, Watch OS is taking a while…
All went fast and smoothly my end. A lot to take in. I just cannot work out in the video link how one clips a photo as the guy shows of Jobs for example and puts it into a message.
But I did learn something very useful. If when replying in a text message, hold down before you type and up pops “scan text” or something similar, which immediately goes to your camera which you can point at something that actually tells you what you are looking at which in my case happened to be some headache pills. Up pops the actual details of said pills which you can add to the text you want to send.
Ultra cool.
Plus what a good day we had!

A lot to sort out, indeed, I had to go shopping, and normally Maps pops up in my Alpine via CarPlay as I start, but Maps was blank, as I’m waiting for DW, I tried to figure it out, but I was in a VZ dead area, nothing was loading…But after heading home, it found a good signal, and up Maps came… Whew…
Lock Screen is interesting, with the Earth showing, a green dot shows where I am… Need to investigate what they’ve done in Camera, and other stuff…
Yes, great day in the AAPL world, and it was still climbing after hours…
My little 11" MBA w/Big Sur had an update, too, took a bit, but completed OK,
I upgraded my 2020 iPhone SE right away, and it has been seamless so far.
In fact, if it weren’t for the different font use to display the time on my lock screen or the “What’s New” reminders that occasionally pop up when I start an app for the first time since the upgrade, it would be hard tell that I’ve upgraded.
It used to be that the telltale sign of having gone through an upgrade was an irritating rearrangement of the icons on my home screen, when Apple added new apps – or when Apple simply decided to be irritating. That hasn’t happened in recent memory, and it didn’t happen this time. It’s almost like the iPhone is trying to hide the fact that it got upgraded.
The one thing I’m still expecting – and dreading – is the two to three week period of reduced battery life that happens when I do upgrades. I just checked my Battery Health, and it shows 84% maximum capacity and that it needs service. I don’t recall it dropping that low, so it could be real, or it could need recalibration. It’s somewhat disappointing because this is a 2020 iPhone SE, so even though it is still within its rated lifetime, it still feels early. (I find statements online like “Apple says that your phone’s battery is ‘designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity after 500 complete charge cycles,’ which for most people takes about two years of use.” https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/how-to-check-iph… I might be right at where Apple’s batteries are rated, but I like it better when my hardware exceeds its ratings.)

I hear ya and the reason for the rearrangement was so they could push their credit card or whatever.
Very irritating indeed. Leave my poop alone.
