I was so sure that we would have a round version of Apple Watch by now. Especially when I saw some of the complications rounded off and tilted in the corners. Wonder what happened.

What happened is that a round design doesn't make sense, which is why Apple didn't adopt one to begin with. It would be stupid. Scrolling content and scrolling lists are both not feasible on a round watch face. The *only* reason to have a watch face be round is if you are being an idiot and hewing to old mechanical designs with hands rotating around a center point. The complications you mention in the corners would not be possible on a round face, either, since there wouldn't be extra space in the corners for them.

Combine always-on AR glasses with wireless earphones and powered by machine learning on the backend and you’ve got a formidable new experience for shopping, learning, data gathering... yeah, it’s all right there.

Actually, no. Because nobody wants AR glasses. At all. Nobody ever has. We've been watching this get exhaustively tested in the market. Nobody wants it. At least not yet. We don't seem to be very close to a user experience compelling enough to get folks to wear clumsy glasses.

So, people who have leather wallets should just not carry the card?

The leather itself isn't going to damage it, but my guess is that crappy leather containing cheap dyes might stain it. That's what I think Apple is referring to. So basically...it depends.

Five seconds of checking this out on Apple's site reveals the monitor supports BOTH Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C 3.2.
