Yep. It is titanium. As in, Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Watch Ultra 2. And I’ve got it baby.

I would love to write a very detailed description of these devices but you can find a lot of them and frankly, I’m still learning their capabilities. It’s a major contrast to either of them in the past. But, really, the fact that they are using titanium doesn’t excite me. I’m more interested in what they can do to make me create and work better and faster. For example, the iPhone camera is a vital part of my work. They just keep getting better and so do the photos and video I shoot. The Watch has a more robust app list than in the past that interact with the iPhone and I like the large amount of apps dedicated to fitness and medical measurements. I’m still learning how to use both these devices. There are lots of options to consider.

There are a couple upgrades that are very handy and that includes the “alway-on” home screen. And depending on how much I’m using these in a day, I can get close to 2 days of battery life and using the right chargers, I can charge them full very quickly.

So, what has really changed is not so much the devices themselves but the operating systems. With the iPhone 15 Pro I’m currently on iOS 17.2.1. I’m getting used to it but it has made a lot of changes that I don’t like. A simple example is opening up Messages, tapping Edit and the drop down list now includes my profile when I mainly want to Select Messages so I can delete them. I’m constantly accidentally tapping my profile which I don’t want.

On a related note, I have a MacBook Air, M2. I love it but I don’t love the latest OS there. I’m on Sonoma 14.2.1 and it still has some weird bugs in it. Just do a search and you’ll quickly see what I mean. And the updates just keep coming. Hopefully Apple can finally get the software back to being as dependable as it used to be.
