I think this all the more reason that Apple will at some point move away from intel x86 to Apple ARM Ax chips.

Assuming they don't run into the exact same issues Intel is, which they may well likely do thus negating any real advantage in the switch. 

This. So much this. If I could transfer money to my friends and family as well as accept payment for goods and services via Apple Pay, I'd ditch Paypal and Square in a heartbeat. 

Got my 128GB Wifi + Cellular Pro ordered. Tried to do in store pickup because that's usually easier for me but it wasn't an option this time for some reason. Also tried to order from Best Buy because I'm a reward elite plus member, but the pre-orders were only for the wifi only models for some reason. Oh well. 
Gotta add though, 70 bucks for a silicone back and 50 bucks for a new Smart Cover is pretty ridiculous. Back when the smart case was made of leather, I sort of got that pricing, but silicone and neoprene aren't worth 120 bucks.

They should be more concerned about the design/quality. They look like they should be sold in gas stations.

I chose the Apple Watch over the Gen 2 Steel simply because the design took a step back from the original, which looked perfectly at home in the board and conference rooms I spend my workday in. The Gen 2, on the other hand, looked like something a young Millennial would wear, and that black bezel around the watch face is just enormous. I'm not going to dump on them because Pebble is really the first company that proved there was a marketable interest in smart watches, and people losing their jobs is never something to be celebrated frankly.  

So what exactly is "Pro" about this model, then, besides its price tag? Sorry, but Apple Pencil support isn't enough of a differentiation to preclude Apple from calling it the Air 3. The more I learn about this thing, the less excited about it I am. Less RAM, no USB3 support etc.
