So they can innovate enough to update the watch yearly, but the iPhone is every three years now, and the Mac Pro, Mac mini, Thunderbolt Display, etc. is once in a blue moon? I don't understand their priorities anymore. 

They're prioritizing what sells the most - or in the case of the watch, what is projected to. laptops and desktops are more mature. The tech doesn't progress as fast as newer categories like the phone or wearables. Also, keep in mind that the supposed 3 yr cycle for iPhone is a rumor, not fact.

I think this is bull. I highly doubt we'll see a new Watch every year. If Apple is planning to make this change next year then I doubt we'll see a new Watch this year.

Why would Apple leave money on the table? Let competitors catch up or surpass them? The wearable market is just getting started, and is projected to explode in the next 3-5 years. I suspect we'll see annual or near annual upgrades going forward.

I actually expected Apple to skip OLED in the iPhone for MicroLED. But yeah, they didn't buy LuxVue for nothing. 

Suspect the technology isn't quit there yet. Supply capacity is another factor.

PayPal works, but in the past when I've had issues their support was so bad it's not funny. I literally got locked out of my account for 3 months through no fault of my own because that was their policy.

Agree regarding support. I've had a couple of very frustrating interacts with them. Most recently when  my account was hacked a few years ago. I notified them immediately and they still went forward with processing the fraudulent charge. My bank and the vendor were dumbfounded by this. When my bank cancelled the transaction, PayPal then defaulted to my secondary card on file through another bank. And good luck getting a suoport person on the phone.

Using the side button for said feature is a smart move. It could make performing a quick task even faster than Siri. Smart move. Getting rid of glances was also smart. Having glances on a display of this size was never going to fly long term.

Glances were great for several things - control center, remote/music control, battery, activity rings, maps launch. I guess the difference now is that it opens the full app.
