Yep, that’s exactly it. I’ve used DoubleTap a bit and it picks up my taps very reliably, but it’s of course much more limited in what it can control. Tbh my main use case is for stopping timers while I have my hands busy cooking, and it works brilliantly for that.
I’m also curious whether AssistiveTouch uses the onboard ML now. It would make a lot of sense since Siri does, but I haven’t seen anything saying one way or the other and haven’t compared the performance between models.
Double Tap specifically leverages the new models’ on-device ML processing capabilities, which requires the new chip. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve also read that Assistive Touch is both less consistent/accurate and burns through more battery.
Melons and squashes (inc. pumpkins).
I believe the idea is to allow you to roughly evaluate the density of the produce, to avoid e.g. mushy grainy watermelon or weird squashes that don’t have their expected hollowness.
I do sometimes “provide feedback” on terrible featured snippets, but goddamn does it feel like shouting into a void.
Yes, I love my aeropress!! With enough dialing in I can usually make a better cup of coffee with a pourover setup that better expresses the differences of specific beans. But the aeropress makes a darn good cup of coffee every time without going through all that hassle. I use mine almost daily.
