Is Apple's App Store a monopoly or a solution?
You can make several of your points because they are your opinion, but attacking the writer or the publisher for the content of the piece are against forum rules. Have a conversation and provide evidence for your claims, but don't go out of your way to call someone a fanboy or discredit the author's piece.rax_mark said:Maybe not insult other brands while making a fanboy esque article and even if you do at least state facts.
If you're going to claim something is a lie, we'd prefer you reach out via email with information supporting your claims so we can address the issue. All you're doing here is silencing discourse with incendiary comments.
Don' make us have to warn you again. Your post history is short, so you're likely not aware of the forum rules. https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/184333/appleinsiders-updated-commenting-guidelines/p1

Apple Vision Pro is already a win for Apple & consumers
That's all well and good, but what people on the internet seem to always forget is:Stabitha_Christie said:Burden of proof is one of the basic concepts in critical thought. Go take a logic class and it will be one of the first concepts covered.In critical thought/logic the burden of proof is the responsibility of the person making the claim. In this case that is you. That you have declined to offer any proof and are falling back on “go look at the information yourself” just underscores how weak your argument is.
1. this isn't debate class or any form of official discussion where burden of proof applies
2. I don't owe you anything.
3. this is easily verifiable information. The burden of proof is usually only required when the information isn't self evident.I can present you with a couple links if you insist:https://appleinsider.com/articles/15/06/08/apple-reveals-watchos-2-3rd-party-complications-nightstand-mode-native-apps-more
https://appleinsider.com/articles/16/09/13/everything-you-need-to-know-about-watchos-3-for-apple-watch
the updates in watchOS 2 and 3 are often discussed as full redesigns to how the device worked. So much about how the watch works today wasn't introduced until these releases.
besides, I don't think the disagreement was about what I said, but the magnitude of the change. And that is subjective.
the dumbest part of this entire exchange is there has always been a link on the term "watchOS 2" in the text taking you to a page that explains *the entire release history of watchOS*. But clearly that was too difficult to parse as "burden of proof" so I've added the watchOS 2 announcement link next to it. If you can't figure it out from there, I don't know what to tell you.

yeah, we agree on all these points.I don't see that as dramatic. That's standard project engineering on a given schedule and budget. You ship, then you iterate. The first couple of iterations of the product have to be good enough and sell in enough numbers to eventually fund iterations of successive generations. Changes are always made to provide the best features and features that aren't used are removed.
This is going to the Vision Pro. It's at a minimum viable state, and is going to go through a lot of iteration. Some of the advertised features today will be dropped, others will be leaned into and new ones created.
I'm just tired of hearing people say the original Apple Watch was not a health and fitness device and Apple had to change direction. That is simply not true.

You want me to do the research and gather screenshots from an operating system that existed nearly a decade ago because you don't understand my point? Yeah, sorry, no.tht said:What do you mean by dramatic? What changed in the operating system? How about some UI screenshots?
I use my Apple Watch as a notification device all the time. Phone calls, text message replays. That's not Digital Touch or sending heartbeats, but it is still communication, which was a tentpole type feature from the beginning. I basically use the Apple Watch in accordance to the original tentpoles: time, fitness, communication, and weather. Don't see any big changes.
If you believe you're correct, go nuts. Or go look at the information yourself. It's not like I'm unique in my perspective since it's what happened.
What changed? The entire functionality of the operating system. How apps were loaded. What the buttons did. What data was obtained and processed on device versus on the phone. Native SDKs weren't even available until watchOS 2.
The platform got turned on its head. Go look into it, it's quite the fascinating history. Or don't, I don't care. lol

Yes, the original Apple Watch had health features and fitness tracking, of course it did. But I'm referring to the dramatic change in the operating system and change in emphasis on features. The original launch focused on Digital Touch, having contacts attached to the side button, and running iPhone-attached apps.tht said:
I've heard it too often now. Health and fitness was one of the 3 tentpole features Apple designed the Apple Watch for. There was literally a Watch called the "Watch Sport" in the original lineup. It was definitely what they designed it for. It wasn't a change in direction or anything. It's was just incremental feature improvements.
By watchOS 3 all of that was abandoned. Apple moved to a fitness and health first focus, notification triage as a feature, and on-device app experiences.
The changes were dramatic and constant in the beginning.
