I read that a dozen times. A watch was too small to read, and didn’t have enough battery to last. That’s why Jobs never did it. Both things are still true.

I have absolutely no trouble reading my 42mm Apple Watch. . . and Thursday I am having cataract surgery on my right eye. . . yet I can read the watch right now with that eye. Perhaps your eyes are worse than mine. But you don't know what you are talking about in general.

As for battery life, you also don't know what you are talking about. I put the watch on when I get up in the morning, use it throughout the day, and when I go to bed at 1AM or 2AM, I out the watch on to charge there is between 60% and 70% charge left. So much for that meme the Apple Watch won't last a day.

Apple doesn't need a "cash flow device". Apple has more cash than it knows what to do with having $200 billion in cash in the bank. That's more than 75% of the NATIONS in the world are worth. Third party SSDs work now. I have never seen "crapware" from Apple. There are Apple software that you cannot remove, but it is generally not "crapware." I will grant you a couple of not quite ready for prime time for SOME users OS releases but those users were fewer than 1% of the installed base and they were satisfied within a few weeks. You tend to focus on the glass being half-empty. . . and the complaints of the smallest minority reports.

They finally got around to 3rd party SSD’s a year later. If you were unawares you nearly brick an Mac with that mistake.
What an arrogant move on Apples part. What about all the WIFI issues people are having. That’s basic stuff.

Then there is Maps, MobileMe, Antennagate. This major version of IOS has been problems from the beginning. Nothing but crass commercialism in place of tech breakthroughs.
