I think they're relying a lot on the grid though and that won't be acessible ot us, or I imagine it technically is but by the time you try to figure out the assignments, what will be the point? So I hope the feature works well enough without the grid. I'm OK about the headphones part, just

Since they were specific about the Mac, and stated that this had already pretty much been done in iOS, I'm sure the change will also occur in windows. You'll probably buy ring tons through the App Store or through the Music app, but probably the app store. What will probably be gone is the ability

I've had the Chime app for years. It's last update was in 2015. It hasn't worked well on the phones in our household in about 3 years I'd say. Misses about half of the announcements and sometimes stops working altogether. This was never the case prior, but they've not kept up with the newer OS's.
