Apple brings the “spinning” number wheel back to the iPhone’s alarm clock
It seems that Apple is aware that not every iPhone user prefers to spin their way to the correct time. As a result, while Apple brought the spinner back, it also did not completely remove the number pad. So keep this in mind. If you would prefer to tap in the exact time when you want the alarm to go off in the morning, a quick tap of the spinner with your finger will open the number pad at the bottom of the display and allow you to click in that time.
The spinning numbers wheel returns in iOS 15. If you miss the number pad, you can tap the spinner to bring it back at the bottom of the screen
The spinning numbers wheel now appears in other apps including Google Calendar. Which input method do you prefer?
Google Calendar also uses both the spinning numbers wheel and the number pad
Will Apple Glasses end up being bigger than the iPhone?
Not too long after the release of the mixed reality AR headset, we should see Apple release Apple Glasses, its AR-based smartglasses, sometime after 2023 and possibly as late as 2025. Apple CEO Tim Cook loves Augmented Reality which uses overlays on top of a real-world image. For example, in Apple Maps, AR walking directions (like a large arrow) are placed on top of a real-world image with these arrows pointing you in the right direction while boxes point out landmarks.
