606: A Decade of Half-Presses

Yeah, you just put a dead center in the thing. It just doesn't like magnetically align itself with the MagSafe thing because it can't. But it does magnetically align itself with the Apple Watch charger. And like in an offset, like if you put on an Apple Watch charger, it snaps right to where it's supposed to go.

And it's not centered like where it wants to be in the Apple Watch charger is like in the lower portion of it, but it will snap right to it. So that's just something to keep in mind. I don't think it's a problem. Again, I love the small case. I totally endorse it. But Apple has sort of outrun themselves.

Maybe, maybe with the new, since you mentioned the new one is narrower, maybe the new one does magnetically align it because it's that much smaller, but I haven't tried it.

Well, if you had the large size of the previous watch, I think you would have noticed both the angle and the thickness. Because I watched a YouTube video of them comparing. It was the Max Tech channel. They were comparing the Series 10 with the Series 9 of the same sort of size class. And the Series 10 looked dramatically thinner.

Just setting aside the little blister on the bottom for the sensors, just the body of it looked thinner. And the same thing with the viewing angle. If you take your old and your new and put them on the same surface and just tilt your head to go at an angle, I think you'll notice a difference. I have been looking for YouTube videos of someone taking, like, a magnifier to this to see if it's MLA.

Seems like the consensus is no. No one has taken a magnifier to it, but... A lot of people have said, first of all, a lot of people are saying that MLA doesn't actually improve viewing angles because it mostly just makes it brighter from the front.

It does make it brighter from the front, but I think it also helps viewing angles if only because they're getting rid of like the color tint and sending light off in other directions. But I'm going to guess, I mean, I'm still looking for evidence.

There'll be follow-up next week if I find some, but I'm going to guess that it's actually not MLA, but simply just a better LTP03, whatever OLED, but still inconclusive. No one on YouTube cares about this enough to take a magnifier to it.

I like the speaker holes on the Series 10. I like how instead of being a speaker slot, there's these tiny little holes. It looks much nicer and hopefully less likely to clog with dust.
