Thanks for that!! OK, so I'm sure I had the s0 (with the Hulk Green band) and then an s2, but never an s1. Then an s3, s4, s5, and now s6.
Got a tip for us?

Thank god I‘m immune to peer pressure.
I did order Seafoam from Amazon an hour ago, but it was my own free will.

It’s a really nice pairing. Ceramic goes goes so well with light or soft tones.
Been there, done that. Exactly the same. Last time there was a Seafoam swoon.
I guess that’s correct. I just find it funny that they went through the trouble of fabricating a new SOC with the same lithography as the outgoing chip with dual cores *and* a new GPU instead of just using an underclocked S2, which is what everyone at the time assumed.
I’m glad they ditched the single core processor really fast. I held onto my S0 for as long as possible but my god it should have been dual core to begin with. It was just as gimped as the iPhone 6.
I hear that! I kept my S0 unit the S3 came out - and in fact used it a sleep tracked until late 2019 when the screen popped off due (I assume) to a swollen battery.
Funny thing is that I have an S3 gray ceramic that I wear occasionally, but keep turned off as it's very occasional. It's unbelievably slow compared to the three S5s I have, and the thing that tipped me over to get an S3 was that it was sooooo much faster than my S0!
I find the interface on my gray to be fine, especially with the new animation speed, but it’s the connection/handshake speed that kills me.
If I’m trying to throw it on anew and go for a walk, activity rings, airpods, even cellular sometimes can cause airline-style delays and much dog whining. Luckily its battery is infinite so I just wear it for my siesta and let it slowly sync.
Of course the 30fps is a whole other perception issue.
You're right, the interface is OK speed wise, but everything else is way slower than S5 speed (I haven't seen an S6 in action).
I actually think I'm somewhat immune to screen rates. I can see the difference between my iPad Pro and my iPhone, but only if I think to look - it doesn't leap out at me that the iPhone has horribly jittery scroll at 60Hz like I understand some (most?) people get.
Yeah well the iPhone got worse with OLED, right?
The S6 is a screamer. It loads Podcasts and Radio’s landing page scary fast, as a tangible benchmark.
Ohhhhh I wish I had the Nike watch! ❤️
Pride today.
Today is frigid out so here is the frosty Alaskan Blue:
Oh I know! I took the same upgrade path except I bought my S5 used for a good price after the S6 came out lol. S3 to S5 was as big of a jump as S0 to S3. And most of that came in the S4 because the S5 has the same processor.
It's like having a new watch every few months after polishing with Cape Cod, takes my mind off wanting Titanium in addition. Ugh maybe S7...
