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. 

That's all well and good, but what people on the internet seem to always forget 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.

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.

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.

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

With a screen time passcode to lock settings, one needs to remove the screen time passcode, then go to content and privacy restrictions to allow for passcode changes. Then the face ID and passcode will show up in settings and you can now turn on Stolen Device Protection.  Then if you want the added security, turn back off passcode changes and set your screen time passcode.  I have yet to figure out if having the screen time passcode and the Stolen Device Protection is redundant now.

Screen Time passcode can be reset if you know the iPhone passcode, so it doesn't really do anything except obfuscate the setting by one step. I think you're making things harder for yourself.

I'm assuming that this won't work with the USB-C iPad mini? Just checked and if the phone dimensions are correct it's off by like a quarter inch. Why won't any of these companies make one of these that will work with phones and the iPad mini? Especially now that the iPhone has moved to USB-C. If I'm wrong would immediately buy. 

You're correct. The controller is too short to work with iPad mini. I'd love to see GameSir or GameVice create a controller for the USB-C iPads, but no one has bothered. Like you said, it seems possible to make a single controller that fits both iPhone and iPad mini, which would be ideal.

That's just an unrealistic and untenable mentality in this day and age. Literally everything lives in the cloud include critical services that don't even have the option of backing up offline. 

I disagree. We're discussing cloud storage, so documents, files, etc. I'm not sure what you mean by "critical services" that you can't back up.
