maybe in the future, if they want, maybe they don't want to force people to buy the iphone and the watch, I just say...

That’s very difficult at this stage. Apple’s business model entirely based around the iPhone at this point and it is at the centre of the entire ecosystem. Apple is selling more services based on the strong foundation of the iPhone.

Having said that, never say never. Apple is known to have killed their most profitable products in the past.

We can maybe all the way to the next century.

I suspect @MJ22's comment was intended to address the current and immediately upcoming watch models - nothing in the watchOS 8 info suggests full independence for the apple watch.

As to what happens in a few years, we shall see.
 
Same. I use dictation all the time and with it on the watch it seems to be so much more error prone.
For me dictation is error prone on the iPhone. I just don't understand with software advancements and how powerful the iPhone processors are that it can't correctly understand basic sentence structure for dictation. I use it on my iPhone because it's faster for me then typing then I just go back and fix all the errors. If you see the start of my post you replied to "I liked that but stop twin if the dictation was too long and you didn’t"... Ummm what? Obviously I didn't catch this. It doesn't seem to be more accurate than the dictation program I used on my PC running Windows 98 and that was over 20 years ago. It's faster but just not more accurate.
