Easiest solution for you would be an external amplifier, they come in all sizes and price points, and let you turn up the volume as much as you want.

Can't say that my 12 mini has the same problem though.

Who suffered from inadvertently swiping to a new watch face? And even if that happens to you, you simply swipe back. It is also not push to swipe, but push, swipe, tap. Three interactions instead of one.

German Youtuber Alexi Bexi had a good review of this thing. TL DR: It is a bad product that barely works.

Of course Apple cares about their customer satisfaction. Having satisfied return customers made them the most valuable company on the planet. In some cases they are stubborn for a number of years before reversing unpopular changes (like removing HDMI and SD from the Macbooks), but in the end customer satisfaction is the foundation of the company.

There are some improvements in WatchOS 10 that you can see as better.

But where is the improvement in not being able to swipe between watchfaces anymore? How is taking something away without replacement an improvement? It's not like the gesture has been replaced with some other great feature. Swipping left and right now simply does nothing at all. So please do explain me how it is for the better.

What are the problems in your opinion? As I said, swiping between watchfaces is the feature I use many times per day. Other stuff might also be bad, but since I use it infrequently, I do not really care.

If you want Apple to hear us, you need to be loud.

Honestly, I am considering calling customer support about this. I hear you cannot downgrade yourself, but in the Apple Store they can do it for you.

 

I am an automatic updates on all my Apple devices, and tonight my AW SE got WatchOS10.

I am shocked and disappointed.

The most basic and used feature has disappeared, you cannot swipe between watchfaces anymore! Is this not the core feature of the Apple Watch? Configure yourself a bunch of watch faces, stylish or packed with information, whatever fits the situation, add complications freely, and then swipe between them with ease?!? This is the core functionality of my Apple Watch, the feature I use at least a dozen times per day. Poof, it is gone. Decide yourself for one Watchface, or go into the menus every time to change it.

Honestly, this change has moved me from thinking about what is going to be my next Apple Watch to thinking about which brand of smartwatch I want to try next. If I wanted a product where the manufacturer was making changes for change’s sake, I‘d use my Windows machine.

iPhones have two front facing cameras, one for taking selfies and a second one in the infrared range for FaceID.

Phones die when they request more power from the battery than it can provide. Go into battery saver mode and reduce your screen brightness.

Also, simply charge your phone. If you want to preserve battery life, always charge when you are under 20%. Letting your phone die is a bad habbit.

I like your question. I think it has a lot to do with user psychology. Users usually do not know what they want, they want an automatic solution without hassle, but at the same time want to feel in control. So Apple gives them a processed image out of camera, and then you can process it a bit more if you want.

That is Apple's approach to software for many questions, they develop something simply that satisfies 90%+ of users, and if you want something different there are many alternative camera apps in the AppStore.
