Do more of this Tim and less time on social issues.

Resolving impasses with Chinese authorities on their censorship and surveilance stances is spending time on social issues.

I often compare the Apple Watch to the 1970s Pulsar digital watches because Pulsar basically invented the proposition of wearable technology as high fashion. Back then humanity hadn't evolved beyond assigning watches a gender identity, so there were distinct mens and ladies models, though I suspect Pulsar "Time Computer" sales skewed even more heavily toward men than Apple's.

Finally. Now everybody else do it! Some big chains that take Apple Pay aren't even as far along as having their loyalty card be electronic, even if they have an app. (Looking at you, Subway.)

Fitness bands are the portable digital cameras of 2010.

A fad that will be killed in a few years.

Fitness bands will see the same fate as other 1 use devices:

Stand alone GPS
Digital Camera's
Portable DVD players
MP3 Players

Want to bet on that? Killed by what? The Apple watch alone? Not everyone has a iPhone, so no it won't. You have a iPhone as do I but even people that do have one will still buy a $150 or less fitness band as not everyone wants or needs a Apple Watch.

Not the current Apple Watch, but future Apple Watch generations that do everything a corresponding iPhone model 10 years before it did. Of course, the iPhone needs to have existed for 10 years first.

It doesn't support that the perpetrators didn't have collaborators. The two personal phones they destroyed? This only proves they weren't dumb enough to plot the murder of their coworkers on a work phone. They may not have outside collaborators still — destroying two personal phones could mean they just used them to talk to each other.
