You are inferring something that isn’t there ..

I never said that AAPL didn’t have competition as a “status symbol” with HTC and Samsung , Why are you implying that there is no competition for your beloved AAPL? The other companies have a full line of products with one or two “halo” offerings ,, and yes from what I understand phones there are now sold discounted as part of a contract , that wasn’t always the case.

No, your schtick is damning Apple with very faint praise, “excellent tinkerers” my rear end.

You go girl! This iWatch is so darn good it’s only a few years late to the party compared to the android versions , it’s new features work sporadically (leading to many just built examples being crushed at the factory in a back end quality control effort) and the device operates for ALMOST a whole day on a charge if you don’t actually use any function that uses computing power so you only need two of them to hotswap on your wrist if you do use some of it’s functions! Such a deal?

Yes, except for a two month introductory period when AT&T balked, they have been sold on contract. That was eight years ago. Come into the present world, Neidermeyer. . . before anything even close was competing with the iPhone.

Ad hominem get you nowhere. And try reading for comprehension: almost all reviewers, especially those coming from actual users, are reporting up to a day and a half of normal use and no problem with charging at night, even using regular computing power. Try to star rational at least.

PS, I am not a girl. . . or a woman. . . and you know that.

How does that compare to my watch which gets about 5 years off a button cell?
