Perhaps they had a lot of left over stock of APM and decided to simply change the port on them, rebox and sell as a new version? Doesn't matter, I'm happy with my APM.

10% thinner is not thin enough for me and the main product photo Apple is using for the watch makes it look misleadingly thin. 

Personally I'd have preferred the same thickness with a decent battery life boost. Each to their own.

I know that people want an exciting update, I do too! However, the simple fact is that iPhones, Apple Watches, Air Pods, etc, are all simply iterative updates now and that's really how it has to be. They are mature product lines now, after all.

If they were truly serious about any kind of AAA gaming on the Mac they’d have defaulted the RAM to 16GB rather than hobbling the base (and most sold) model with 8GB.

Caveat: Apple uses unified memory with the M series computers. Unified memory can access the CPU and GPU at the same time. DDR memory cannot and has to split up the RAM between the CPU and GPU. So a computer using 8GB of unified memory is going to perform significantly better than what you would expect from an 8GB DDR system. 

Yep, and if you believe a Mac with 8GB of Ram will perform just as well as one with 16GB of Ram I have a barely used bridge to sell you in Egypt, going super cheap!

Look, Apple Silicon is amazing and yes, all sarcasm aside, it does handle memory extremely well due to the integration of the SoC. For small day to day tasks like checking your email or playing songs on Apple Music you’re going to notice very little, if any, difference.

But put in high performance/intensive tasks (AAA gaming 100% falls into that!) and the difference quickly becomes clear.

I thought the Apple Watch automatically sent your location to emergency services once the emergency mode is activated?

On that basis I’m surprised he had to give them a general direction.
