Wireless or Wi-Fi?

For those thinking about getting the LTE model, the Series 4 features a ceramic bottom case that allows radio waves to pass through for better cellular connection. To be completely honest, unless you're already going on outdoor runs without your phone, the LTE model might not be worth the extra price.

We went on a three-month LTE service trial previously, and hardy ever used the capability. The likelihood that we would be out of the house without our iPhone and not near a known Wi-Fi network is extremely slim, so paying $10 a month for service was a waste given how we used the device during this time. Of course your mileage, and use case, may vary. Apple's kayaking video from 2017 is a good example.

I do not understand why they say that.   Many runners prefer to run without a phone.   In fact, running clothing frequently does not even provide a place to carry it.   And, if it does, you end up with it sloshing back and forth in your pocket with each stride -- particularly if you have a plus or max model.  And, if the phone has a heavy case the problem is even worse.

But those who do carry phones don't do so they stop and text or FaceBook mid run.   (Although some stop to snap photos of interesting scenary).   Instead, they carry them for safety so they can call if they need help or there is a problem.

The watch with LTE solves all of those problems because no serious runner goes without their GPS watch.  With the AW w/LTE they have all the advantages of carrying a phone without carrying a phone (except for the lack of camera).

But, even for general use:  I won't cut my grass or climb a ladder without carrying a means for calling for help.  Again, the Apple Watch with LTE solves that problem.

I think Google’s “loyalty” could be reread as, “cheap people are still cheap, some are now aware they use Android.”

When you ask all but the geekiest of Android users why they don’t have an iPhone nine times out of ten they say iPhones are too expensive. And the timed they don’t it’s normally something stupid like, “my friend says it’s better” or “I had an iPhone and the screen broke.” (Typically their android phone is already broken.)
