![]() ![]() The fact of the matter is, it’s all just procrastination and the limitless amount of choices leads to a perpetual cycle where nothing is good enough. In the world of productivity, there’s a fascination with an all-encompassing product that magically fixes our lives leading to, myself included, switching applications constantly seeking out the “best”. We don’t constantly need new or better, we just need a system, whether that be in an application or a notebook that helps us to understand our own brains and get the most from them. In today’s society, there’s a need for more with the newest thing or the vast amount of options giving an almost crippling choice selection. I believe that the key to any productivity tool is the manner in which it adapts to your life, not the other way around. The beauty of Things 3 is just how simple and barebones is it to use on the surface but equally how vast its use cases are. The thing about the productivity world and the apps that we have access to across the App Store is that quite honestly, most of the time less is more. Think of it almost in the same way a calendar app like Fantastical works by integrating with Google Calendars to become more than just the app I use to view and edit my schedule, but also the app that controls the whole framework - I want Things to be less of a walled garden and more of the control hub for my brain. If I had the ability to work in Things and have those tasks automatically pop up in Reminders, the app would become an even more useful tool for working on small projects with those who just want to use what they are used to. ![]() If Things 4 was able to export back to Reminders then my previous point about collaboration wouldn’t even need to be addressed. In Things 3, you can easily import from Apple’s Reminders app but I wish there was the choice to go even further with that seamless integration. Of course, we'll need to wait and see for certain if this change does come to pass.(Image credit: Things) Better Reminders integrationĪ problem many apps face when coming up against Apple’s native alternatives is the just the sheer widespread audience that native apps have. That means no iPhone prior to the iPhone 11 series would work nor would any Apple Watch before the Apple Watch 6.īad luck if you're an iPhone SE or Apple Watch SE user as neither of these models boast the U1 chip. The result of dropping NFC would mean only Apple devices with the U1 chip would be able to take advantage of the feature once iOS 16.4 is installed. And it's better from a security standpoint too. It can better gauge the distance between iPhone and car. If Apple were to implement this change, the reasoning is pretty simple: UWB is a newer and more accurate technology than NFC. According to 9to5Mac, these drivers may lose access to the feature and instead be shown the error message: “car is not compatible with this iPhone/Apple Watch model.” That could pose a problem for those with cars that are NFC-only compatible. However, code spotted in iOS 16.4 by 9to5Mac during the beta process seemd to suggest Apple could drop support for NFC in Car Key going forward. Since the feature was introduced in 2020, it has relied on NFC (near-field communication) and Apple's own UWB (Ultra Wideband) to bridge the connection with the vehicle. Apple books animationĬar Key on the iPhone (or Apple Watch) lets drivers open their car and even start the engine without reaching for their keys. They can quickly understand how recently a new episode was published, and identify “early access” subscriber episodes that are made available to them as part of their subscription. Listeners can see how many unplayed episodes are available for them at the top of each show page and from the Recently Updated section of Library. What’s more, the episode dashboard has been made clearer. Up Next (and Recently Played) will also be available to view when you’re using Podcasts with CarPlay. Episodes saved to your library will already be added to the queue, but you’ll be able to touch and hold a show’s artwork to remove it. Up Next is also being given extra functionality. Listeners will be able to browse the channel and discover new shows on iPhone, iPad or Mac. ![]() This means a provider can have all their podcast offerings in one place. The divisive Apple Podcasts app gets a bit of an update with iOS 16.4 and will now feature a section devoted to channels. ![]()
