How is it cherry picking a statistic? Do you have any sources that disagree with the idea of it being the best heart rate sensor on a smart watch? Do you have any real sources with any real data to back up anything you’ve claimed?
I’d actually like to see this promise of a workstation from Apple. I’d say that it isn’t a case of trusting your word, but it kind of is.
Now we get to the third thing, the idea that the Walled Garden is a miserable quarantine. How? Apple Music just works. iMessage just works for me. I’m not miserable. And the fact that you did little research and can’t see the value in a product that fits perfectly into the Apple ecosystem is on you.
We are still not arguing on the same level. That, is a component. What I'm saying is, when I ask eg. the EMEA VP of Fjord or Frog design what she thinks of her Apple Watch and whether she'd recommend it, she'd go "mweh, it's ok, it's up to you if you actually want one" and not "OMG yes it has the best heart rate sensor on the market!!"
Apple has inherently promised such a workstation via their advertising and the common narrative that cascades from their C-suite figureheads to their Apple Store personnel -when I had asked one when would they expect a redesigned MBP in 2016, before the Touch Bar catastrophe struck, they'd ask me back whether I considered getting an iPad instead.
And yes, I do think it's a miserable quarantine. Apple Music may work, but it's the ONLY thing that works within the garden, and frankly I find its UX atrocious. That's a hindrance, not efficiency. All of my music is on Spotify and some rare DJ sets/bootlegged content which I love is on Soundcloud. I find the fact that I cannot use them on the fly pretty darn miserable in 2018.

And how's that been working for you? You know, over the years?
So you're beholden to Apple's "locked down" ecosystem? That is so sad.
If a company wasn't making products that met or exceeded my needs and requirements, I'd switch companies. In a heartbeat.
Yes, it's quite sad actually. 10 years ago I wouldn't even imagine working on anything else than a Mac. Now I'm stuck with a company-provided 2017 MacBook Pro (because all the design software I use is native to macOS) and iPhone 7, both of which I frankly hate with a grudge. Haven't turned on my iMac in months. I can't stand my 6S either because of iOS 11 but I use it out of habit.
It's not THAT easy to switch "in a heartbeat", you know.
