    Apple Watch is not an iPhone replacement. I still owns the original Watch and it never left my wrist in all these years save at night where it conveniently lays on top of the charger pad. I can not imagine how life could be without my Watch anymore. It becomes integral part of my day to day activities from paying coffee to checking latest news to not missing a single call [ie. you can easily misplace your muted phone but watch is always with you and will nudge you if someonce calls]. Apple Watch enhancing your iPhone functions and your life. To expect it to have a single killer app is really a wrong way of seeing this device. I also own multiple bands, and the watch itself is really versatile than you can just swap the bands for different events from sports to wedding without even looking slightly out of place.
    Kevin mirrors my use of original Watch.  I have the original black band and a red one; for our hot summers the woven nylon band helps reduce sweating. Wear it always except at night when it's my bedside clock and alarm.  I've found it to be great when cooking so I can have multiple timers going for baking different dishes.

  • North Carolina requires test takers disable MacBook Pro Touch Bar for bar exam [u]

    So how is the touch bar different from an exam taker just having another window or desktop with a window with exam answers?  With WiFi and an iPhone they could presumably access any server with info needed.

  • Editorial: Apple survived 2016's onslaught of fake news and failed competitors

    FYI - I love my AirPods. They work seamlessly with iPhone 7, iPad Air, iMac (2012) and can be controlled with Apple Watch 1. Pause playback if you remove one of them and restart when I reinsert it. The Case/recharger is capable, small and of course has same charging port as all current devices so it can be charged in several ways.  Sound quality is better than my other earbuds and the AirPods fit better too and the lack of a cable eliminates the force that would pull them out.

    Best holiday present I bought myself and a Apple product invention thru and thru.  Great job.  Kudos to the electronic and manufacturing engineers and the assemblers.

  • Review: Apple's new wireless AirPods put a smile on 2016

    I concur with your 5/5. In my two days of use at home with an iPhone 7, iPad Air, and iMac (late 2012) I have found the learning curve for use to be simple for iPad and iMac and immediate with iPhone.  I haven't used the AirPods with telephone calling or answering yet.  I've used my iPhone charging dock to recharge the pod's case. They are everything I hoped for at this point.

  • Apple dissolves Mac automation management post, Sal Soghoian to leave company

    prairiewalkerprairiewalker
    I rely upon Apple Script and Numbers every day because of Numbers not having it's own web site access scripting.  Use Automator also.

    I've sent my Feedback to Apple about this.  Big mistake.
