The AVP is a really strange device. It is by far the best Apple device I ever posessed and when I use it I wear it for 3-4 hours straight….but I use it maybe 2 or 3 times a week only. It is always a treat , almost like a reward .

YES! I'm on the fence about to jump off into an Apple Store parking lot. Every time I read a negative opinion about the AVP it's always from someone who doesn't own one. More often they've never even used one.

Then I'm heartened  by posts like the above from an actual owner who has time on the clock with it. I stumbled on a r/AVP with more actual owners with time on the clock with a lot of good info. There were a couple of ex-owners who weren't happy, but it was great to read about how its used, hints and kinks, etc.

I don't understand the haters. Maybe they were abused children I don't know. I realize it's not everyone's cuppa but FFS, why hate? 

My main reason for not waiting (yet still on the fence) is that subsequent iterations may not have as high quality displays in order to reduce the price. Moving to Ti will be more expensive I'd think. Then there is the uncertainty of the tariff situation.

My time would be much the same as bohler's, 3-4 hours straight, maybe 3 times a week maybe more. I really need to bust a move.

I've just received my S10 Watch so you all have me to thank for the S11 later this year.

My first Apple Watch was the Apple Watch in Stainless. I still have it but it needs a battery and I don't think is possible to get it replaced anymore. But it's a thing of beauty. Yes there was a lot of disappointment with the announcement because people wanted what they wanted and weren't capable of what Apple had accomplished. It was a success for me because I didn't have to take my phone out of my pocket to see a message or who was calling. Everything else was cake.

I appreciate that this article lays out a timeline. Cook deserves credit for bring the Watch to market, but he didn't conceive of the idea like many people claim. I had one of the Nano Wrist holders and waited for a Watch.

My S10 doesn't have SPO2 functionality at the moment. What so many people don't know is that function is disabled by software. Every Watch since its removal is still capable of getting it enabled whenever this is resolved. When that happens a software update will bring that back.

I got the S10 because it was on a good sale approximately $135 off. Unless the S11 has some super killer feature I should be fine.

I want Apple to consider more of a lean towards fashion and not just a health device. The rectangular shape is now stodgy but the S10 freshens it a tiny bit. Adding a model or two to the lineup would be a nice change. There's the Ultra which I have, and the Ultra 2. Not enough difference there to make me upgrade. I really want a round Watch but I don't think that will happen. It should. Choice is good.

Referring only to the headline and not the article's content, wait until it's time to pay for that shiny new phone. Then we'll see how many people want it.

Without knowing what kind of hit the price will take, Now With Extra Tariffs! will be dealbreaker for many. When it's time to plunk down the plastic or Ti, it gets really real. I expect it will do fine just that more than a few minds will change if the tag goes north.

The words "intelligence" and "wisdom" are not part of Trump's and his sycophants' vocabulary. But "avarice" greed, malice, petty, vengeful, ego and similar are. There are no truly good adjectives to describe this president  and his gang of thieves. Maybe if measles wiped out some of those key players I'd have something positive to say.

Monetary donations in the past usually ranged from lobbying to outright bribes. In this administration, it's bribes and blackmail with no that a payee will get what they've been wanting. Maybe they're worth billions and billions... Donating money for fear you or your company will be economically knee-capped isn't donating. It's protection money. A shakedown. Especially when payment is demanded by someone (Trump obviously) who's been declared untouchable except by impeachment. That's tragically not going to happen.

Cook 'donated' that $M not because that's the way business is done. But because he new it absolute necessary to try to prevent Apple suffering significant economic damage. Without any speech or grandstanding he paid the required tribute out of his pocket to try to insulate Apple from any capitulation. Obviously few people realize that.

Republicans whine that Biden conducted 'lawfare' against Trump ignoring that it was fair law. What The Felon is doing is not fair law and in many instances – unlawful. He doesn't care and further ignores the fair law of courts. Sychophants claim this is how "strong leaders work".

There's no small irony that in The Art of the Deal there is no art nor no deal. Only base criminality taken to whole new heights by a convicted felon. He'll exact revenge on anyone who's "crossed" him even in the pettiest of manners, and by those who aid and abet him.

The real shame is everyone knew it was coming. He said so. He warned us through word and action the first time. He said he would do it again when running the second time. We were warned — twice. People still voted for him or didn't vote at all. It's a too small comfort that some who voted for him or stayed home and didn't vote are now whining that actions he's taken that they previously championed have hurt them economically.

How do you like him now.

Surprised to hear Apple go for that color instead of just pure black or grayish-black. So would this be just the VP-Lite/not (not) Air/SE/E?

Who says Apple is going to that color? You just read an article discussing things said by a "leaker" of mediocre accuracy and their feasibility as a rumor. Nothing in the article substantiates Apple actually "going to" that color.
