    You forgot to mention the Vulcan LLAP Emoji, which no one seems to have noticed.

    How will we know if future watch apps are dedicated or still running off of my phone?

  3. Quick iOS 9 question. I set up the new “Hey Siri” feature and noticed that you need to be attached to a power supply to use it (iPhone 5S and iPad Air 1)? This doesn’t make a lot of sense. Why would I ever bother to use the feature? The only time I am hooked to power is when I am not using my iPhone or iPad. Maybe this is different in iPhone 6s?

    there were some news that Apple will not be releasing the watchOS 2 today… is that correct?

    The new notes app sucks! The new features aren’t built into it fully and the way they have it laid out is dumb.
