My biggest concern here is that if the feature becomes popular, you're going to find people locked out of their cars because they're away from home, the phone has a dead battery and the charger is locked in the car.  Because you know people using this feature will be leaving their keys at home

I wouldn't worry too much. Apple has already worked out allowing NFC to function when your device is in what dead because there's still plenty of power left for the occasional NFC use for a college campus card or taking the tube back home, just like you can still check the time on the Apple Watch after it's dead.

What do the regular wireless Key FOBs that many cars have now use? They are able to sense whether the key is in the car or not but also work at distance greater than typical NFC ranges. 

RFID

Duh! ߤ榺wj;♂️ <- that's supposed to be a facepalm. 

Something else I thought of - could this be related to the rumored project titan?

It was until you edited. Once you do that you need to re-add any Emoji or it'll end up with some string of funky Unicode characters that were an Emoji. This has been an issue with these forums since they switched to Quiller.

1) While I don't usually prescribe to schadenfreude, I do hope the people that rallied against the Apple Watch as a product short sold Apple and lost big.

2) Because of the jewelry and handcrafted aspect of fine, collectable watches, this industry will keep going in perpetuity, even if it's just a niche market. I can even see it growing later on as wearable tech gets more health-related and internal which allows for fine craftsmanship to be adorned on the body once again where wrist-worn devices no longer need to be.

Why is it called loop disease?

As the issue gets progressively worse it will get stuck displaying Apple logo upon restarting. I'm not sure if it's an actual endless loop, but I believe this is the catalyst for its name. This sucks because it'll be mostly working and then someone like me tells you to restart it thinking it's just some bug or issue that will be resolved with a restart only to have it never turn back on leaving the user in a worse position than they were a minute ago.

All I want is to be able to download maps offline. I have dodgy spots on my commute and have to resort to Google. But CarPlay (obviously) works best with Apple Maps.

I guess I’ll keep waiting… 

1)I don't know if waiting is your best move. As the world gets more interconnected I don't think that true off-line maps are going to happen, just I never thought Apple would enable the FM radios built into iPhone radio chips.

2) Even from the earliest Maps on the iPhone I've found that if you create a route it will load all the maps for that journey so that even if you are outside of the range of a cellular (or WiFi) connection you'll still get your detailed map showing you your location with the correct GPS location on said map and other info about your journey. I've even gone well off the path and been able to find my way back because the GPS location was always kept active on the grid with the maps it had pulled showing up where they belong when I zoomed out. Does this not work any longer?
