This seems more like wishful thinking than fact.

All of Apple's OLED 'iPhone 8' models to use curved Samsung panels - report
robin huber said:Not even sure the curved OLED display makes any sense on my Watch. I often trigger the icon in the lower left of my Modular watch face when grasping it (to move it out from my cuff to read it for example). My fingertip rolls up over the edge thanks to that lovely curved screen. That's endurable on a device that is seldom handled, but on an iPhone . . .?? - I have an Apple Watch too...its OLED display is not curved, the cover glass/crystal is at the edges. If you look closely, the display area itself is flat with a blanked out area around it. -
Apple Watch market share falling amongst fitness trackers, holding steady with smartwatches

The first gen watch was a little off target, but I think they righted the ship with version 3 of the OS and the current hardware lineup.
If they can just keep pushing the product forward I think they'll do fine.
The problem is -- that's a big "if". It seems difficult for Apple to continuously push multiple product lines forward at once. Only the iPhone consistently gets annual updates.
I give no shits about the second-gen watch having the same case as the first-gen. No more than I would care about new Vitamix blenders looking the same as models from two years ago. Or the latest DVD/BR players. Why on earth would that matter?! And making it round doesn't fix any design issues, again, because design is about how it works. And a rectangular display works better for information, which is why computer monitors, train/plane schedule displays, hell even just books, aren't round. Watches were round because of swinging arms, which, surprise, ain't dere no more. -
Apple unlikely to refresh iPhone SE in March 2017, analyst says
robjn said:SE
stands for "Special Edition".
It's a stop gap.
They underestimated demand for a smaller phone and had no plans to release such for 6 6s or 7. Once they realized there was demand they could quickly develop the SE by using parts from the 5 series.
In either 2017 or 2018 they will have new smaller phones as part of the main product line. -
Apple limits 2016 MacBook Pro models to 16GB of RAM to maximize battery life
Considering even laptops remain plugged into the wall the vast majority of the time (most are desktop replacements nowadays anyway and have been for years!) a 32GB option should at least be offered, with the disclaimer saying such an upgrade could considerably reduce battery life, so people would know what they're getting into, that way Apple would be off the hook. -
Two of four Thunderbolt 3 ports in new 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar have reduced speeds
Why? Here we go again Apple crippling the 13" Pro's spec in comparison to the ridiculously more expensive 15" version. Even though they're both very expensive laptops to begin with. They give you something good with one hand, slap you in the face with the other. The 15" already has a lot of power user advantages over the 13", they could of at least given the 13" 4 'proper' TB3 ports.
