No way would I show my iPhone to any policeman or security guard.

There‘a the watch feature plus Apple has a restricted access feature where the only thing available is that one app, nothing else, so general access to the rest of the phone is blocked.

I am trying to work out what the regulatory crime is here?

the west is subjecting itself to red tape overreach, but classifying an entity selling groceries as a grocery store just like every other entity selling groceries is not an example of bad policy.

Though that may depend on whether their electronics etc. are subject to regulation under the “groceries” criteria.

So it doesn’t have the flat edges, as the rumours suggested 

Ya, I like this look much better.  Flat edges would have been weird.  Love to see the leekers get it wrong!

The “leaker” renderings were ugggggly!! So happy it was just wrong.

That was the best part of today's event - I LOLed when I saw how wrong the leeks were.

My Series 2 is worried. 

As is my Series 3, being a keen cyclist!

It sounds like your Series 3 may get the cycling enhancements from the WatchOS upgrade.   All the enhancements except the fall detection.   But, if you don't fall off, you don't need that!.

They still sell the S3, even though the emergency OS update that just arrived will require the hours long unpair, set-up-as-new, download install, then restore procedure for it. Yuck.

? My Series 3 updated via my iPhone without all that.

Wait, how is this different from the USB-C one I already have? 

Faster charging per the store product details. So they modified the pucks electronics.

Macro shots are awesome!

As is said: “your best camera is the one you’ve got with you”, and often that’s my iPhone. 

Next time break out a Leica - then the iPhone will never be the best phone.

Lol. I am fond of paperweights but not for everyday walking around, adding that extra ten pounds or more just isn’t fun unless I’m deliberately on a photo op. Then, sure, dSLRs, lenses, mirrorless , more lenses: totally worth it. (Oh, and of course, a tripod).
