Apple’s new double-tap gesture helps you dismiss stuff you never wanted to see in the first place.
For what promises to be a snappy review of Apple’s new Watch Ultra 2, the actual review process has been very long-winded.
And, no, that annoyance is not the all-too-short battery life in Apple watches. We’ve given up being annoyed by that of the Ultra 2, which pales in comparison with most other sports-oriented smartwatches on the market. This dialogue box can be extremely irritating when you’re in the middle of exercising, especially if you’re in the middle of an activity such as cycling, which engages both your hands.
It’s annoyances like that this new “double-tap gesture” helps you deal with. Rather than reach across the handlebars , you just tap your thumb and forefinger on the watch-wearing hand together twice in rapid succession, and it’s like you just tapped on the screen.It works for incoming calls, it works for scrolling through notifications, it works for pausing and playing music in the Apple Music app , it works in podcasts, in the compass app. It works in all sorts of useful places.
The only thing not to like about the new double-tap gesture is it’s only available on the new Watch models. Apple says that’s because it needs the extra processing power afforded by the new S9 SiP chip on this year’s models, but we don’t believe that for a moment.
