Knowing Apple, 45W charging will require an overpriced proprietary Apple charger and "special" cable.  

Rather dim take, considering nothing like that exists in current iPhone charging -- go onto Amazon and you can buy a million different PD chargers and cables. It's an open standard. 

When it comes to MagSafe, that achieved faster charging rates than Qi due to better engineering. And thankfully, they released those improvements to enable Qi to do the same.

So yeah, not a bright take by either of you.

I’m an Apple fan but Apple has definitely been caught using slave labour, and I’ve seen no evidence they have removed all slave labour from their supply chain.  Remember all the suicides at Foxconn too?  The conditions they work in are not great. 

Foxconn's suicide rate was lower than the national average in China. Foxconn worker pay also far exceeded rural worker pay, which is why people go there to work. 

Can you link us to the "slave labor" data?

I'm sorry, but it is no win for us to be misled.

You mean the last four years of a vegetable behind the Resolute Desk? I get it, Trump and Vance aren't anything close to beacons of honesty. But you're deluding yourself if you think the current administration and Kamala are somehow better, and deserving of the office.

Ah the "both sides!" trope. Nope. I've been an independent voter most my life, and 100% one side is worse. Hint: it's the one lying about immigrants eating pets.

Since Tim Cook is leading Apple it is all about money and not innovation. Not worth buying this watch. 

Inane nonsense. The accessibility features are by definition innovative. Incremental innovation is the name of the game here, nobody expects you to upgrade every year. 

I'm in the breach, awesome.

Arguably worse than the highly covered Windows BSOD issue last month, but next to no media coverage. I guess if it doesn't make you miss a flight nobody cares.
