Guests were not allowed to wear an Apple Watch at a wedding reception

The extrapolated list of features present in an Apple Watch means that apart from being flaunted as a fashion accessory, the smartwatch can be highly useful in a variety of situations. Unfortunately, some are not too fond of this habit and mentioned in a wedding invite that guests were not allowed to wear the device if they attended the function. Either we are looking at some hosts with an antiquated mindset, or they would much rather have Samsung Galaxy smartwatches on their wrists.

Understandably, guests voiced their disapproval over not being able to wear an Apple Watch to a wedding

For whatever reason, a couple mentioned specific details regarding the dress code of their wedding, with a line reading ‘No Apple Watches please.’ As reported by AppleInsider, the invite was given to an X account with the handle @ccmembersonly. While there is no evidence that the invite mentioned this dress code, the individual mentions in the thread that the couple received some complaints from invited guests, which is no surprise. However, some people have agreed with this dress code, as puzzling as that might sound.

One person sporting the handle @NoneYa49637069 responded to the post, saying that it is an old etiquette that requires no watches to be worn at a wedding, and guests that showed up to the reception wearing one would likely receive criticism over their ‘rude behavior.’ Of course, some people wanted to have a little fun at the post, saying that ‘Wearing any watch at a wedding is kind of red flag imo.’ We can only imagine the scathing replies this person would receive.

While we can understand that in older times, the concept of wearing any kind of watch at a wedding could be regarded as an insult, what caught us off-guard was that the invitation specifically mentioned that guests should not be spotted wearing an Apple Watch, hinting that it would be acceptable if any other watch would be strapped to their wrist. Now, if only we could have a single gander at that invite, that would put our minds at ease.

Current-generation Apple Watch models are probably the only devices whose internals comprise of Intel’s modems, but it appears that this alliance will come to an end, with the California-based giant eyeing a future and prosperous partnership with Taiwanese fabless semiconductor manufacturer MediaTek. According to the latest report, the new tag-team will allow Apple to leverage the chipset maker’s 5G modems, bringing advanced wireless connectivity to its future smartwatch watches. MediaTek’s 5G modems designed for future Apple Watch models will not only deliver unrivaled wireless speeds, but mass produced on an improved lithography will result in improved efficiency All Apple Watch models, including the premium Apple Watch Ultra, are outfitted with Intel 4G modems, which is rather surprising to hear because devices like iPhones and iPads all ship with 5G baseband chips for years now. It is not like Apple’s wearable division is a low-priority business, because various watch models bring in billions of revenue for the company. However, a switch to 5G chips could improve the firm’s prospects, which is why Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that ditching Intel could become a necessity at this point. After all, all of Intel’s modems are capped at 4G LTE speeds, and as reported by MacRumors, MediaTek’s solutions support 5G Recap, which is a service that is specifically designed for connected devices and wearables that do not require standard 5G speeds. Additionally, looking at how MediaTek is now leveraging TSMC’s latest manufacturing processes to compete with Qualcomm and Apple with its Dimensity 9400 launch, its 5G modems could not only beat Intel’s offerings when comparing raw performance, but in power-efficiency too. The last attribute will allow future Apple Watch models to last longer, resulting in a major selling point for buyers who were discouraged by the runtime of current-generation smartwatches. Given that MediaTek can become a potential supplier, we are scratching our heads, thinking about why Apple does not opt to use the manufacturer to obtain 5G modems for future iPhones? Then again, we often have to remind ourselves that the technology titan has a penchant of having control of every little component. With the iPhone SE 4 supposedly featuring Apple’s first in-house 5G modem, it is only a matter of time before the company shrinks those baseband chips for use in future smartwatches, but that will be a discussion for another time.

Future Apple Watch Models Will Reportedly Ditch Intel Modems, And Transition To MediaTek’s Solutions, Which Will Make These Devices 5G-Ready
