Timmy's on a roll on September goof ups so far. What's next?
Is there a place on Macrumors to discuss Apple stock? Not sure if I should be getting worried. They need a major positive product announcement by year-end.

Storage? I have not seen official storage specs of an Apple Watch and it's not on their page.
Do any of you that workout outdoors have a strap-on belt for your phones? I feel like these belts are amazing because I can run with the belt on and not even notice it's there. I keep other stuff inside my belt like Gu packs and my ID + insurance card when I'm running long distance so it has a multi-purpose use. For these reasons, I can run with my S2 AND my phone and have no qualms about wanting to upgrade to an S3 + LTE.
What is considered “up to the level of premium watches”? Since when is Apple Watch supposed to replace premium watches? Seems to me the target for Apple Watch is people who stopped wearing watches (or didn’t wear expensive watches) not the premium watch market.Waiting for the redesign. Current one is a bit boxy, if you will. Not really up to the level of premium watches.
That said, I would like to get one for the monitoring features. LTE not really interesting. If I'm an hour or two without internet connection, I think that sounds like it shouldn't be the end of the world. Quite the opposite in fact.
Only if we quit putting words / intent in other people’s posts.
My comment was directed at multiple publications and people of both genders. Since you opened the can of worms on gender, my favorite tech commentators are all women, I think Serenity from iMore is well educated, speaks her mind and understands the tech. Molly Wood, yet another amazing woman in the world of tech.
So please, leave inference off the table.
What are you talking about? The stock is down 2% today big deal. Plus Wall Street has never been rational when it comes to Apple so you’re either in it for them long term or you shouldn’t own Apple stock.Is there a place on Macrumors to discuss Apple stock?

How about just the Series 3 without LTE? Most of the concerns are with the LTE.
I agree 100%Speaking of Serenity she has an article up that does a good job of explaining the issue. https://www.imore.com/how-your-apple-watch-connects-wi-fi-networks-when-away-your-iphone
I like Serenity because she knows her stuff but is able to make it easy to understand for the masses. I’m surprised Apple has never tried to hire her or Rene Ritchie.

Uhm no. It’s $10 on Verizon.
Worst review of a review I’ve ever seen.
They aren’t first by a long shot (Samsung has done this for a while now) and I think experiences will vary for the 5 bad reviews I also read 5 great reviews of this feature.Why is Apple putting LTE in the watch when the battery tech isn't ready. This looks like Apple rushing a product out so they can say they were the first.
2GB I believe for 8GB watched and 8GB for 16GB watches (9to5Mac review)Its 8GB out of which 4GB is for storing music, so plenty of space!
They could introduce new options, such as a larger display, or a round display that encloses the same square area inside of the regular Apple Watch display, or a wider display that is thinner or curves slightly to match the contour of the wrist. There are many options and iterations that I'm sure we'll get over the coming years and decades. Eventually it will change. When it comes to the iOS line, I don't think they've ever kept the same design more than three years, which is why I'm thinking it's possible next year. I also have to wonder if we'll get an Apple Watch X type device at some point that is a bit out there design-wise. Something like a display that wraps around the wrist. There will be some crazy innovations down the road a bit.There really isn't a whole lot to change, slot is fairly large, so it going to limit the options. And just like they haven't move to usb-c for phone side, they don't change this stuff more then every 5- 10 years. Just like they most likely want to get a few more years out of the lighting port before moving usb-c.

You might not like him because you don’t think he’s objective but I think he often times explains Apple’s thinking better than Apple does or at least is a better advocate than Apple leadership/PR.Esp. Ritchie, why pay for the milk when you can get it for free? He always sugar coats everything Apple. He does more for Apple pretending to be an independent journalist than if he was a paid Apple hack.
To be fair Rene doesn’t criticize that much. I just think often times he’s better at framing the narrative and/or explaining Apple’s thinking than Apple is. Some people mock iMore for the things they choose to write about but I’ve sent many a family member or friend some of the guides Serenity publishes which they’ve found very helpful.I agree 100%
While they tend to try to be diplomatic in any criticism of Apple, they also don’t hold back on voicing issues they see. I think it is a contributing factor as to why they get invited to so many events!

First the iPhone 8 & iPhone 8 Plus pre-orders were underwhelming and now the Apple Watch 3 is awful?!
What is going on over at Apple & with Tim Cook??!!
I never suggested he’s the person to go to for impartial reviews. I suggested Apple should hire him!That is true. And I don’t dislike him, he’s just not where I would go for an impartial product review. He’s very much a fanboy. For “how to” iMore is great.
What's wrong with the MacBook? I think it is a great design and it is selling well.Apple Hardware design and innovation has been a disaster. Mac Pro and Macbooks were a fail. The upgrade cycles are longer and longer... Mac minis, Macbooks, iMacs.
It seems that Apple was focusing on iPhones and consumer gadgets. Although the idea of the Watch seems nice, again problems with design and the iPhone 8 is not much of an improvement over the iPhone 7.
In addition the presentation of the new iPhone by Phil Schiller was super boring, I almost fell asleep.
Mr. Cook, maybe it is time to fire the head of Hardware design??
How much longer do you need to wait??
