can you trade out the bands for the sport watch or are you forced into the plastic ones if you buy the economy version of the watch? it looks on the site like you cant replace the apple watch sport bands with the others.

if you can you don't want to. aluminum watch with steel next to it is gonna be gross as gently caress.

i hope they become permabricked if stolen like iphones

the apple watches being use tested by apple people supposedly went into lockdown/'i need an adult' mode when they took them off and could only be unlocked by their phones.

i'm guessing they'll ship something slightly scaled back from that extreme?

Yeah, I cant wait for Cross Country teams in schools with mandatory iPads to force all the kids to wear an Apple Watch, to ensure the proper milage in training, and punish the kids with too low milage, and who run too slow by making them run more.

A good teacher could use this data, to benefit the world.

wait are you implying those are two separate outcomes?

i'm honestly a bit irritated that the rumors of a thunderbolt standard that carried power didn't pan out. still not clear if intel was just going too slow for apple's taste or if apple (potentially thankfully) went with usb-c instead of a third displayport design.

The only thing that's fail is the insane amount of technical debt that has accumulated in the software stack that nobody is willing to eliminate bc everyone only wants to work on new stuff and they're not willing to pay competitive rates to retain disciplined programmers. This is why core apps like Messages.app keep accumulating more instabilities and UI bugs with every update. Industrial design game on point doe

apple gives bonuses for shipping hardware
