The only "glitch" I've seen is sometimes the watch tells me "It's time to stand up!" and I'm already standing...

I've noticed quite a bit of bugginess. The thing sometimes freezes or is slow to respond. Gen 1, v1.0, guess it's not too surprising.

Certain 3rd party apps (Wunderlist, The Weather Channel) really need help with stability and UI improvements.

Should be less than 5-6 months until the unveiling of the 6S if apple stays true to it's trend of new phones. However, it won't be big updates - probably better camera, battery, more RAM. Likely little to no new features, usually just an internal update.

The "s" version is when they have added new features. 5s has Touch ID, the 5 does not.

The next should have better CPU, ram and camera upgrades. And look for it to be the iPhone 7, not 6s. Think they may want to keep away from the S6 that Samsung is using.

Thats not what I meant by app refreshing.

Background app refresh i have turned off.


What I meant was leaving an app to go into another app and then going back into the first and the first app refreshes or starts up like it was newly opened.

I put this here because I'm sure Apple will adopt this quickly.

Thunderbolt 3
https://thunderbolttechnology.net/bl...-c-does-it-all
“Thunderbolt™ 3 is computer port nirvana – delivering two 4K displays, fast data, and quick notebook charging”, said Navin Shenoy, vice president in Client Computing Group and general manager of Mobility Client Platforms at Intel Corporation. “It fulfills the promise of USB-C for single-cable docking and so much more. OEMs and device developers are going to love it.” - See more at: https://thunderbolttechnology.net/bl....VfwLlbAd.dpuf

If you didn't read, it can also power a single 5K display with a single cable. Should pave the way for a 5K thunderbolt display


Been wanting a rMBP for some time, I think I'll wait (more like save) for one based off Skylake.
