604: Minimized Embiggening

talk about it in enough of a way to say whether this is going to be significant and it's a factor because you're what you're really wondering is like how what are they done with battery life like does the series 10 does the big series 10 have ultra like battery life i doubt it it's so much thinner it probably doesn't but then again the ultra doesn't have an s10 in it so maybe the s10 sips more power and you know so then apple's claims about the battery life i think were not

radically different than the Series 9. So we'll see, but Apple tends not to say much, if anything, about the little processors in their watches to the point where, as we've pointed out in a couple past years, they've incremented the number without actually really changing the chip in any significant way, and I can't really tell if that happened this year.

that's that's what people really care about with these things like there's the physical appearance and marco covered all that stuff and i think it actually is better this year i'm i personally like shinier better than matte finish and hey they're all shiny now and assuming the finish is adorable that's great um but aside from that you know they're all one millimeter bigger than they were before they're shiny they look nice the screen goes closer to the edge and also has the battery life right that's what people care about is it comfortable does it look nice is it fashionable and does it last all day and

I'm assuming this will strike as good a balance as the 9 did, maybe even better. But the fact that Apple didn't really brag about it, like, this is going to last you so much longer than the Series 9, I feel like they're just probably, like, maintaining. And it's probably good enough, but...

This is not it's not like the ultra where I think that's one of the reasons why you see a lot of people who have the ultra. They hear from their friends who got one. This is so much unlike the non ultra watch, because if I miss charging it for a day, it's not the end of the world. And that is not something that happens with any of the regular watches. Nope. So we'll we'll we'll see. All right.

And, you know, and obviously that's a side effect of it being chunkier. Hey, there's room for a bigger battery. But they went the opposite direction when they made it thinner. So. We'll see how it turns out. And for the one millimeter size difference, like I know that doesn't sound like it's a lot, but with these little watches on people's wrists, a small change can actually look significant.

That's why I'm kind of happy that it's thinner, because maybe that'll make up for it being bigger. Underscore put a little diagram of trying to show the size comparisons of like older Apple watches. And if you take a really old, like the 38 millimeter series one watch, that entire watch will basically fit inside the screen of a 42 millimeter series 10.

So we've come a long way from that very, very, very tiny Series 1 watch, just a minuscule thing with terrible battery life. Now that whole watch fits inside the screen area of these new ones. So I think they're going in the right direction.

It's obvious that people kind of like phones, and like Marco said last episode, people like bigger screens on their watches, and Apple is obliging, not just with bigger screens, but also they made the watch bigger, but then within the size of watch, push that screen as far to the edges as you possibly can.

I think you just got unlucky with your battery, which happens. Not every battery is the same, but we get a lot of people writing in saying that they don't have this problem with their watch. Normally, you get two kinds of feedback. One is like, yes, this happens to me too. My Series 8 also doesn't last through the day, but we didn't get any of those.

I don't think we've got all people saying I've got a watch and it lasts me through the day all the time. My wife, she's grand. She's got a Series 9, but she had a Series 8.
