I’m glad that Apple was able to fix the microphone issues on the Series 8 Apple Watch with just a software update

Were the interruptions only on Spotify? I wonder what it was to make it an Apple-sided fix, rather than a Spotify bug.I am guessing Spotify must have been using some Apple Watch Developer Kit feature/code that was broken by Apple’s last update meaning Spotify could not fix the issue.

Did you check the battery health? My iPad 8th Generation completely went dead while the battery displayed 10% battery life. Just because you noticed issues after a software update does not mean it was necessarily caused by the update. At least Apple now allows battery replacements on iPads now so you do not have to buy a new iPad or pay for an out of warranty replacement.Thank you for your contribution
