I somehow missed that the plant had come online.  Great news!

“Apple devices don’t need regular reboots“
THEY DO

They don't unless something is wrong with it.  And anyway, they get one every time there's an iOS update, every month or so.  That's more than often enough.

My first gut reaction to this is that Indonesia is being pretty unreasonable here, refusing even the original amount negotiated.  And they are...  But then, Apple (and everyone, really) desperately needs to diversify out of China for a host of reasons, well beyond possible tariffs. And they have to build plants somewhere.  It's ultimately a win-win, though with a hint of extortion.

Ignoring their wishes seems kinda rude - it's their wedding.  But not going is an option.  Not to say that I care that much about wearing a watch or not, Apple or otherwise.  But I also kinda feel like if I knew someone this hung up on the presence of a watch, I probably wouldn't be close enough friends with them that skipping their wedding would be noticed.

It is a confusing time in the Apple Universe... software updates promoting features that just aren't available on older devices. 

All I want is the glowing border for Siri on my 13 Pro, and it just won't appear. I'm so sad. 😞 

Just like every other iOS release since, probably when the iPhone 3G came out?  There have always been new iOS features that required the absolute latest device to work, some that required more recent devices to work, and some that worked on all devices that could run the new iOS at all.  This is probably the most public and most anticipated, though.
