iCloud Drive...ugh...
I've been buying, providing support for, and earning a living from Apple products for 32 years. They've never really "just worked". They've "just worked" better than the competition, but that doesn't mean they've been flawless. Not even close.
Apple has become like everyone else these days. Ship something "good enough" and let your customers be eternal beta testers. By the time something is reasonably solid, it's on to the next version and the process starts all over. But this is the future of software in general it seems. At least now, thanks to the Internet, updates can be made quickly rather than waiting a year or two for one massive patch mailed out on floppy disks.
Would people be too lazy to pull their phone out of their pockets and use that?
Which are the future. Safari in iOS 8 has WebGL enabled - as soon as developers start to realize that and take advantage of it, native apps will die swiftly (pun intended.)

Pun?
I seriously doubt the lack of WebGL was the reason iOS 1's webapps failed. Even in this day and age, internet access isn't always available. And even when it is available, it often comes with restrictions. I don't see this changing any time soon. (especially not in the United States)
so is this an authorized 3rd party Tesla app or something someone shouldn't be messing with?
Is that also the range for something with a low powered antenna? I don't seem to get that range for things that are plugged in![]()
The Apple Watch would potentially be closer to the remote than it would be to the phone: raise my arm, select the app, and tap whatever I need to do. Bam.
It's not laziness, it's convenience. It creates fewer actions necessary to accomplish the same task, particularly because the Watch is on my arm and the apps are designed specifically to be easy to use. Brief interactions, then done. Least resistance.
That's why this is so compelling, and why I think this will be a huge hit. It will be the path of least resistance to so many actions during our day, so many little things that become just automatic reflexes, and I fully believe Mr. Cook when he says he can't live without it.

Wouldn't you rather read texts and notifications on a very small screen with severely limited controls?
You're right, who wouldn't spend 350+ to not need to use their 650+ phone.Or perhaps the question should be: Wouldn't you rather glance at your wrist to see if the notification is something you need to pull your phone out of your pocket for?
I don't get why Apple insists on locking down new products and features. Let developers take advantage of them now, it'll be opened up eventually anyway.
Well, that will eventually backfire -- because if all applications live in the web browser, then what will be the advantage of using Apple hard- and software over the competition? Where's the added value? After all, web apps run on web browsers - and those are by definition operating system agnostic.
iOS and OS X app(lication)s are a way to lock people into the Apple ecosystem. The web, on the other hand, was what it made it possible for users to leave Microsoft - or ANY other specific platform - behind.
Steve Jobs realized that very quickly. "There's an app for that" keeps Apple in business - "there's a website for that" would quickly make Apple absolutely redundant.

One person's lazy is another's convenience.
