Since Apple Watch does not run iOS, the original statement which limited itself to only MacOS and iOS holds true.

Reports that benchmarks on an unfinished update to the Linux kernel are 5-30% slower means that all Macs will become 30% slower? That's too many logical leaps. You're going from point A to point D skipping past B and C.

I would personally prefer Apple spend more time on security and less time on "features" like emoji, animoji, fireworks on Messaging, etc.

I think it would be a mistake to reassign people who work on things like emoji to work on security matters instead. The idea that software developers are interchangeable and can work on any software task tends to be the reason there are security flaws in the first place.

And, frankly, do you want your apps written / debugged by a real software engineer or someone who learned via seminars and online courses?

An online course in Swift programming is not a dead end that dooms the student to never become a "real software engineer". Instead it is the sort of thing that can inspire a student to continue in that direction. And that doesn't necessarily mean getting a degree in computer science or whatever else it is that you think is required to learn the right skills. Some of the people who shaped the computer industry into its current form did not learn how to do what they did from a formal education. The two Steves. Bill Gates. Mark Zuckerberg. All of them were college dropouts.

Are you sure the font you see is San Francisco? Looks no different on my Mac and iPhone than on my PC. No version of San Francisco appears in Font Book and it is not available for general use in any app, it is only available as the system font for UI elements. The CSS at apple.com has font-family: "SF Pro Display" with fallbacks to SF Pro Icons, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, and the browser's default sans-serif. My PC obviously doesn't have San Francisco installed, but it does have Helvetica Neue, and I suspected that's what I was seeing on both PC and Mac. So I tested it with some simple hand-written HTML that uses SF Pro Display with no fallback. As I expected, no dice.

This may mean Apple will soon make San Francisco available for general use. But right now, as far as I can tell, you're looking at Helvetica Neue.
