To anyone complaining that a simple test from Apple would have (should have) caught this: I'm confused. Connect to LTE and wifi. Obviously you'd prefer wifi over LTE but let's understand that if the WLAN doesn't have connectivity to the internet, the responsibility lies with the provider of the network not the Watch. Right? So they should disconnect from that wifi network to get back to the internet.

Are we suggesting that the devices should certify connectivity to some point(s)? If so, what point(s)? To Apple servers? Google? Spotify? How about a slow network? Does the watch need to know to switch to LTE if wifi is slow? Or spotty? What are we expecting here?

Apple has such class and style! Look how 'understated' the Apple Logo is.

You're not kidding. I didn't even think it was there until I played with the contrast a bit. (image link: https://i.imgur.com/exQarS6.jpg)

/off topic - I find these forums hard to use for anything but the most basic text!

Watch face as an antenna. I'm no engineer but that seems like some freaking advanced stuff.

I see this is turning into a referendum on "worthy" or effective orgs and causes. Just because this is publicized doesn't mean they haven't donated elsewhere such as Red Cross, other Houston recovery, etc. Donations this big do take a lot of time to cultivate. It's not like it would have happened and they said "nah" to Houston and "oh, hey, Bowdoin" instead. But don't mind me. Just thought I'd add that comment.

Do you buy things from Amazon on your iOS device? This is a big deal, and will have wide repercussions for one of Apple's biggest obstacles in services and digital media sales. No offense intended. Yeah, I do buy things from Amazon from my iOS devices. I'm not seeing how this particular development might impact what services and digital media I buy from Apple. I can see how the WashPo purchase and Amazon's music & TV services do. But yeah, following Amazon is relevant here. I get it now.
