I'd bet money that this "class action" lawsuit was only initiated by scummy ambulance-chasing lawyers fishing for people so they can roll the dice for an Apple payday.  

If someone is stalking you, GO AFTER THE STALKER!  Don't put blame on companies making products that nefarious people also use.  

Moronic.

Sociopath much?

It'll go nowhere, for good reason. I don't lack empathy for victims, I'm just realistic - there's better tech out there for stalkers so you actually hope your stalker tries to use an AirTag instead. You're more likely to find out someone is tracking you with an AirTag than with many other devices, none of which can possibly be removed from the market anyways. People sue Apple because they have deep pockets and are highly visible, but that doesn't mean the case has any merit.

That's a reasoned response. Unlike 5-6 others who insist on blaming and shaming the victims of illegal stalking for having the audacity to seek redress. We need more people like you.

The lack of empathy for victims of stalking, intimidation and violence facilitated by Apple's tracking technology in every post on this topic is stunning to me. What is wrong with you people??

For instance: "Simply…..DONT USE THEM" The victims aren't using them. AirPods are being used against them.

Or: "Who should they sue for making a bad choice of partner?" I feel sorry for anyone who chooses you for a partner.

Or this: "Did the stalkers murder their victims with the airtags? Stupidity has no limits." Yes, they have, and continue to do so. AirTags are deadly weapons in the wrong hands, the same as the crosshairs in your gunsights. You're correct about stupidity having no limits. At least you know you're emotionally retarded.

oh yes, cue the virtue signalers! 

Oh yes, trigger the sociopaths!

Apple's problem is that everyone who wants an Apple Watch already has one. And their incremental changes aren't going to drive upgrade cycles. The Ultra was new and different, but the buy-in was a big deterrent for the mass market. Things like Micro-LED screens won't do it. A total rethink is what it will take. I can't think of anything the Apple Watch 9 offers that would even make me consider upgrading my 7 series.

Upgraded from series 7 to series 9, really enjoying the brighter screen, faster processor, looking forward to double tap feature. WatchOS 10 takes the user interface and Watch experiencce to the next level.

Well, since I have WatcOS 10 on my series 7, still not sold. I can see my watch screen just fine. But I'm curious about how exactly does a faster processor improve your use? I don't notice any lag at all when using my watch.

I would also like to know the answer to that question. We’ve all made excuses to justify expensive upgrades, but this one needs a little more explanation. I’ve never wished my Series 7 was faster…not even once. 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Maybe it’s my imagination but everything just seems to run a little smoother and zippier on series 9. I suspect apps will take advantage of the faster chip to do who knows what? Apples buyback for the upgrade from series 7 to 9 was also very generous.

"Apples buyback for the upgrade from series 7 to 9 was also very generous."

Buying something you don't need because it's on sale, or takes trade-ins, is the reason Millenials and GenZ's can't afford to buy homes.

No, a significant shortage of supply at most price points is the reason Millennials, GenZs and a lot more folks can’t afford to buy homes.

You forgot to blame student loan debt. But you can buy a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, true brick Georgian house with a two car detached garage in my Chicago neighborhood (Norwood Park) for $250-275K right now. We're a neighborhood with mature tree-lined streets, many cops and firemen live here, it's 1 block to a K-8 school, 5 blocks from Taft High School, 7 minutes from O'Hare, two blocks from the bus, 8 blocks from the El or the Metra. Two churches within 6 blocks, a Jewel-Osco (Albertsons), a Mariano's (Kroger), Amazon Fresh, Butera (Certified Grocers) and two produce supermarkets within 2 miles, Starbucks, Panera, Chipotle, you name it. Also numerous great family-run Italian, Chinese, Thai and Indian restaurants in walking distance or a short drive. Almost forgot to mention, lower overall and violent crime rates than almost all the surrounding suburbs.
