Apple Pay and Apple Music are the two big reasons I’m sticking with Apple. Been tempted by Garmin once or twice, but never found one I like the look of and I think they are huge and I wear the AWU. That is, of course, subjective. Apple is more than capable of great fitness tracker, it just requires a bit more thought than using a Garmin. Garmin wins on battery but it’s easy enough to charge my watch when I’m in the shower. It’s just about what fits the users needs and you can get there with either. What I don’t get is the constant worship of Garmin at the expense of the Apple Watch. Garmin seems to be able to do no wrong and it must be pointed out at every opportunity. Just strikes me as odd and something that just seems too good to be true. It appears that it has not faults, but tech always has faults and issues at some point, no matter how good.
I Definetly had love hate relationship with Garmin for over a decade. So many frustrations with sync and don’t get ne started on Garmin connect bugs going back years.

Unfortunately Apple has gone back to the logic of. ’they’ll buy what we give them
This was said buy Steve Jobs many years ago
Not going to happened in 2025! People are not going to buy iPhones without substantial improvements. The average hold cycle is 3 years or more. It used to be 1-2 years
Are you taking about his quote “people don’t know what they want until you show it to them”?
If so, then you completely misquoted him. Wrong words, wrong context, wrong meaning. He said that his job is to figure out what people really want and show it to them as a finished product that they never imagined. Not that people will buy anything he puts in front of them no matter how worthless.
