According to MacRumors, "AdBlock Master" was also removed.

I have a Series 3 Cellular, and I have never even seen this thing hiccup once. I do my dishes by hand (submerging the watch in hot, soapy water), take showers with it, and workout with it; and I have yet to see an issue with it. This really does seem like a money grab to me.

Ever since 10.7 broke scroll arrows and Rosetta, Apple has been releasing disasters.  Actually, you can even go back to 10.6, when it broke AppleTalk, lots of perfectly good printers were thrown away because of that stupidity.

Wait, what?? They didn't break the scroll arrows, just that no one was using them anymore. And as for scrolling, if you feel THAT obsessed about it, you can turn that off in the System Preferences; look up "Natural Scrolling". And Rosetta was an emulation layer to deal with the transition from PowerPC to Intel chips. That didn't break; that was phased out. Maybe next time, when you have a list of gripes, you might want to check your facts before ranting. I hate it when good people look just stupid.

As a developer I can tell you what this switch would mean to me:

Absolutely nothing.

For those people bemoaning that your dev environments would be halted because you would suddenly be on ARM, I can tell you first hand that Linux on ARM (which Vagrant, VirtualBox, et al, all handle just fine) is just as speedy. Hell, I have a Raspberry Pi that is pretty darn quick, and that is a tiny processor on it! And as for compilable software, I can guarantee that Apple will make the transition from x64 to ARM as painless as possible.

My only "concern" is that of Windows emulation. I am looking at the Gamers and the Business people who rely upon Boot Camp. I am thinking that by the time this all comes to fruition, the x64 emulator for ARM may have been fully fleshed out. A quick Google search landed me "Unicorn" which is a processor agnostic compiler. All in all, pretty cool stuff.

My only concern is the timing of this "rumor", and what is really gained by stating it.

Do we know if Messages in iCloud is in fact missing in action, or if AppleInsider just forgot to mention it?
