I recently bought my 1st HomeKit accessory: the "Eve Energy" controllable outlet plug from Elgato.

Price was about $55, which seems crazy to control 1 plug.

And yet... saying into my Apple Watch, "Turn on Christmas Tree" = priceless!

Answering my own (earlier) Wish List item:

• Siri phrases for direct volume level ("Set volume 80%")

This almost works today.  Using Siri directly with the phone, you can say, "Set volume 80%" and it works!  I never knew that.  Unfortunately, when I speak that into Siri on my Watch it does NOT adjust the phone's playback volume.

For anyone with AirPods already.... can you say this phrase to the AirPod Siri and have it correctly adjust the playback volume?

And most forecasts show this one product adding several billion dollars of revenue to Apple.  That's amazing for a single new product.

Apple is ... overly focused on improving hardware instead of focusing on software and the user experience they were once known for.

watchOS 3.0 was a significant upgrade of the Watch software and user experience.  Most reviews praised it as a major improvement.

If moving functionality to the band, consider placing an NFC chip in the band so we can use Apple Pay with the Watch screen facing upward (visible).
