Since I got my Apple Watch I’ve been using a sport band on it. But recently I found I wanted a more upscale look to go with a suit or a night out at a high end restaurant. Thus the timing was handy to have Jisoncase send me one of their 2-in-1 Genuine Leather Wrist Band For The Apple Watch this past week.
As you can see, it has a metallic loop and a leather band that has high quality stitching. Let’s look both of those from a different angle:
If you look at the color of the loop in comparison to my Space Grey Apple Watch, it fits in well. The leather is well stitched and I could not find any quality issues with it.
I wore this for a week to do everything in and found it to be comfortable. It was my intention not to work out in it, which for the most part I did. But I did go on a hike on a very humid day that left me pretty sweaty and the leather wasn’t affected. Still, I would consider this to be a fashion accessory rather than an all purpose watch band as it definitely gave my Apple Watch a more upscale look. The only issue that might appear for people with bigger wrists is that you might not have a band that is long enough to accommodate your wrist. But if this doesn’t describe you, then consider this a must buy. Especially given the price is $17.15 USD which is really hard to beat.
Early Testing Shows That The Patch To Fix i9 MacBook Pro Throttling Issues Works
Posted in Commentary with tags Apple on July 25, 2018 by itnerdIt appears that the patch that is issued yesterday to fix the throttling issues that have dominated the Apple news cycle since the new i9 version of the MacBook Pro was released appears to work. Here’s a video by David Lee who is the YouTuber that discovered this issue.
Other sites have confirmed that this issue is resolved as well. So, what was the issue? Apple discovered that there was a missing digital key in the MacBook Pro firmware that impacted the thermal management system, driving down clock speeds under heavy thermal loads. What’s really interesting is that this was a problem that appears to have affected all 2018 MacBook Pro models. But was really pronounced on the i9 version.
So, will you now buy a new MacBook Pro now that you’re getting the speed that you’re paying for? Apple sure hopes so.
