I agree. for the normal user the default iOS app is absolutely fine to get your usual online shopping mails and bit of chit-chat social stuff.

I have a Microsoft Exchange account, and so does my work, plus my needs are a bit more sophisticated, so for me Outlook works best. 

I would give anything if I could delete Microsoft Outlook and never use that piece of trash again as long as I live. I far prefer Mail to it any day.

Clearly, the "leaked" image is disinformation. "Gather round" is signalling that the new A-Watch Series 4 will have a round face! And the gold in the announcement image means that it will be available in gold again (or a gold colour). This will be an incentive to upgrade, because it will visually differentiate from the older models. Unlike Series 1 versus Series 3, which are almost identical.

You think that an entire event that will likely cover multiple products which includes the iPhone, their biggest seller by a large factor, has an event slogan that is only targeting the Apple Watch? Do you not see how the image has the same (or very similar) dimensions to the main Apple Park building?

If Apple foolishly puts a round display on the Watch I certainly won't be upgrading my Series 3.

Well… to be fair… the AW is probably their most important line of products right now.

There's no doubt about it that the AW (not just smartwatches in general, but the AW) is the future; and it is a future where we are much less dependent on carrying around phones all the time. Apple knows this, and it wouldn't surprise me if there's more talk about the AW than the iPhone this time around.

That being said, I seriously doubt that they'd make their whole next gen AWs round; there are even clues in watchOS that they are preparing to take better advantage of a rectangular shape (like with webkit previews for notifications).

So, it's much more likely that "round" is just a reference to the shape of their (newly completed) building; or perhaps even shared augmented reality.

I don’t understand anyone who thinks that Apple would just change the entire Apple Watch offerings to a round display and drop the rectangular display. They will naturally add a round offering the successful rectangular option when they’re ready, to accomodate customer choice — an expectation Jony Ive has repeatedly acknowledged customers have when it comes to devices they wear. I just don’t understand this polarization that comes up every time a round watch is discussed.

I agree the next step as indicated by these alleged leaks is to improve the current rectangular model. But the rounded corners and focus on maximizing round graphics, as suggested by the leaked display, suggest that these efforts will only make a transition to a round UI even easier, as existing apps will more easily merge into the new shape until developers chose to customize for the new UI, just like with the previous iPhone and iPad transitions.

Or it’s a brand new Apple product! ;-)

The way I look at it is ....... if you have something on your phone that you don't want others to see then get rid of it. For the simplicity when I go to the US next month I will simply do an iCloud backup of my phone the Erase/Wipe the phone and setup as a new phone and only have the minimal stuff on it. After I return home I'll just restore my phone to a state before I went south. 

Keeps things clean and simple. 

They can actually view that with suspicion and refuse you entry into the country. There was a story about a Canadian to whom that happened.
