Anecdotal evidence, I know, but the wife and I love our little "failure phones".  Do everything a casual user needs, as fast as we need, and it takes amazing photos still.  It's a bit larger than I would ideally like, but nothing I can't handle. 

Sorry WSJ needs to sell papers, but the Xr has a place in the market and Apple is filling that need.

Apple needs to start to migrate more of their core people out of California and have them work in states that are not so philosophically isolated from the rest of the country.

Yes, you've made your political position quite clear. I don't understand how Apple would benefit, nor I as its customer, if more of its employees drive pickup trucks with rifle racks though. What does the progressive climate in California have to do with Apple's business?

1) I love it when people make it abundantly clear that they have never ventured into Texas and rely on 80's dramas and jokes to form their opinion on the place. 
2) If you can't understand how state regulations, as well as corporate taxation laws + cost of living can impact a companies business then I'm not sure anyone here has the time to teach you.

Austin is more like California than Texas.

From a people point of view, you are correct.  From a regulatory point of view, Texas law still takes precedent over most of the recently initiated craziness.

I used my cheap 3D printer to print a stand for my AW3.  I placed the charger that came with it in there and it has worked perfect. Moves my watch up into nightstand mode and the ledge makes it easy to align so I get a perfect charge alignment every time.  Probably cost me $1 in materials and an hour to print.  

Post a photo, please.

Not sure if I know how to do that, let me try.  This isn't my watch or photo, but this is the device and plans I used.  I don't own the file (they are free) and don't want to get sideways with anyone thinking I'm advertising for another site.  If I can post the link I will, or I can message to anyone.



I can snap a picture of my actual unit, but mine is in black PLA just like this one.  Mine even has the extrusion lines like this

Cool.

Now with that said, tell me about how Apple is going to supply the 4.7" market!  I was hoping to be on a new SE2 by now, but that was a big tease.
