That change did require an erase and reformat. I have no idea how the installer is supposed to switch file systems on a live device, this is puzzling.

It was stated in the WWDC presentation that a goal of APFS was to be able to upgrade existing drives to it without erasing by writing the APFS metadata using the existing file system and then switching to APFS with a reboot. Apple acknowledged at WWDC that customers aren't going to accept APFS if it means a multi hour process of backing up and restoring. Just upgraded to iOS 10.3 without issue.

Cable customers are feeding the beast against our interests.  Cable companies use the revenue and contracts to keep content providers from leaving, or diversifying.

So true. Those who bite the bullet and buy a cable bundle to get the one show they care about give hope to the networks that they can do business as usual for another year.

Oh jeez, here it comes from the apple haters:

I love when Apple does this. The haters cry so much their tears fertilize the earth and allow a beautiful crop of apples to spring forth.

Cornholieo, that agreement specifically does not allow HTC to copy/rip-off the iPhone's look: "it's specified that Apple's design patents and trade dress are still off limits to HTC" http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/6/3734732/apple-htc-settlement-agreement-revealed-redacted

Then why did HTC immediately copy the look of the iPhone without repercussion? 

Apple isn't going to bother suing HTC as long as they remain a barely viable bit player in the phone industry. Apple hardly ever launches offensive lawsuits, and when they do, they have always targeted their largest competitor. HTC was in that position when their lawsuit started, as was Samsung later.

I can can live without it. 

I dont bother with with most features very often because it's annoying. 

Cant say say that about my iMac 5k or iPhone 6 Plus.

watch OS needs a complete rethink. 

Absolutely. There's no way a product can be successful if you can live without it. BMW, Ferrari, and the NFL failed and no longer exist. Also, have you really not heard of watchOS 3, which has been available for months now?
