Apple please bring the 3nm chip to the Apple watch. It will double its battery life!

Apple's watch SoC is far ahead (at least 4-5 years) of anything that is available in competing watches, I doubt Apple would move to 3nm chip for Apple watch anytime soon.

In terms of battery life, the Apple watch is far behind others. So this move makes complete sense.

What actual smart watch has a battery life that far exceeds the Watch Ultra?

Battery Life:

• Apple Watch Ultra: Up to 3 days
• Garmin Epix: Up to 10 days
• Garmin Epix Solar: Up to 17 days
• Garmin Fenix 7: Up to 18 days
• Garmin Fenix 7 Solar: Up to 30 days
• Garmin Enduro 2: Up to 45 days

Or if we take a look at how the battery life holds up during regular GPS Mode:

• Apple Watch Ultra: 12 hours
• Garmin Epix: 42 hours
• Garmin Fenix: 57 hours
• Garmin Enduro 2: 150 hours

Because Garmin smartwatch is too lazy helping its users? The battery life really depends on the amount of features available on the smartwatch.

This is frivolous to the lowest level. TikTok is an entertaining tool. Government building is for working. Of course it is inappropriate to use TikTok. But making it a national security issue is a plot by China haters to silence democracy. 

Maybe the NSA, CIA, and the U.S. Military know something you don’t. But then you’re just a Chinese government operative spreading disinformation and propaganda. And who are you to be talking about democracy when your leader is a vicious despot.

You are a liar! I have said here many times that I have nothing to do with Chinese government. And you China hater keeps making lies about me. And would you bet that every word I posted here have been recorded by CIA? US government has the world's largest network of spying. It is much larger than China or any other country. Can you deny it? NSA, CIA, and the U.S. Military know how to spy on every one. This is why they worry TikTok will spy on US. US has far more superior military power than China. I believe this is the simple reason CCP feel it is useless to spy everything on US. Of course they want to know what the US Congress is planning on Taiwan. And this is the reason US Congress don't want CCP to know. And this is democracy? I thought democracy is for peace like Jesus do.

I personally believe you DO NOT have direct ties to the CCP.  However, based on your written defenses of anything pertaining to China, I would say that your wording is quite similar to other posts outside this forum authored by what are known as Chinese Nationalists.  Nationalists are average Chinese citizens who are extremely patriotic and defensive of China in general.  And while these nationalists are not affiliated with the CCP, they basically do precisely what the CCP wants insofar as the nationalists spread the same pro-China propaganda, and leave the door closed to anything negative about China.

Overall, I would say your posts defending China here in this forum tend to be more defensive of China than just about any other person in the forum.  That shouldn't make you a target of hate, but it will attract the attention of people who strongly disagree with your largely pro-China stance.

Personally, I wish we could all get along without strife.  But the only way to achieve that is to stop watching the news, stop being nationalistic/patriotic, and just view life in mostly optimistic terms.  Not everyone can do that.

And so, because we are all different, the best we can do is just debate and fight for a time, then shake hands and agree to disagree in the end.  I think that's really the best way to settle matters of strong disagreement.  There's nothing wrong with even heated debate as long as it doesn't result in us hating each other.

You are one of reasonable white Americans like GeorgeBMac. You know what is funny that despite what I said here I have not downloaded TikTok although I enjoy watching numerous TikTok videos my friends share with me, they are better and more decent that Google Shorts. 

Why I defend China? It is simple. There are so much misconception and bias toward China. If you can convince me this is untrue I will stop defending China immediately. 

Many years ago, one of my classmates who is studying at Stanford U took me on a tour to Fisherman's Wharf. While we walk along the crowded street a white guy walk past us and started yelling at me saying "go back to China!". Is this America? Is this democracy supposed to work? The US democracy is not for peace, it is to incite hatred. Although I admit there are more decent Americans than this guy, but you need just one to do bad things. 

When I was young I watched Hollywood movies, we found there are good buys and bad guys. And in the end the good guys always win. Now I am getting old, I found this is a Western culture. In America, a woman walking outside after night is a risky thing. Most of them try to find a companion or escort. Some universities even provide such services for females. On the other hand, in East many females walk alone on streets at night. Why they are not afraid? Because they don't have the concept of good guy and bad guy when they grew up. Why do I say this? I think this is the reason why US is creating enemies. The culture has trained people in separating good and bad as much as possible. You will think you are on the good side. You are the victim of the bad side. This is the root of the conflict between US and China. Or Democrats and Republicans.

No one is making it a national security issue, other than China itself.  The company can protest all it wants, but they are obligated to be in bed with the Chinese communist party. That is just a fact.  You also should take a look at the algorithms in China for youth versus the algorithms here for youth.  

Are you saying US Congress is China? LOL You better read this AI article carefully.
