"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

yes. watch uses the phone connection of your phone, and crown is a piece of luxury headwear. i didn't mean that you have to carry your phone around with it

the watch has a cell modem now and the crown is the fiddly bit on the side with the red dot on it

you can go surfing and take calls with your earpods, because no place is sacred. no phone required

why would you have a phone if not to take calls?

they said plain and simple that it uses phone's connection through its modem. you cannot have no phone at all. as i have said, that does not mean that you have to carry your phone around, it just has to exist

I think it's because they don't actually have a SIM card in there and they need special deals with providers to allow some sort of "simless" solution. probably it will work in every country within 6 months

why does siri not work in latvia? As in doesn't work in latvian or the moment your phone detects you in the country it just goes: welp, not here buddy!

We
siri can either not work in a given language because apple can’t be bothered to translate it at all or not work in a given country store because apple is too afraid siri won’t be able to handle the rich cultural background of that country (the second is the case with siri on the russian apple tv for example)

so if you have an apple tv in russia you won’t be able to use voice control at all even if you switch the language to english, unless you have a foreign debit card/store account and switch to that store lol
