@jeff_krieger Completely agree. I was recently made aware of a survey that asked apple customers "Is an older model of the iPhone a 'good enough' model of the iPhone?" and the resounding majority responded "yes". An unfortunate result that communicates the lack of perceived innovation from one model to the next.

@jeff_krieger @greg_allen3 But is it? The biggest I reason I see going with Apple as a no-brainer is the long-lastingness of their products. They remain functional and feel feature-rich for years, and the fact that they don't feel old despite their age is that they're still better than the competitors' products.

@greg_allen3 @jesusfacostap I have a Series 4. Always On is super exciting. I just want a bit more if they want me to upgrade. Literally two new features for a new model.

@greg_allen3 @jeff_krieger Yeah, I completely agree. I just think they know, and even maybe intend, that people's upgrade cycle is two years at best. I mean, I have an iPhone 7 and I see no reason to upgrade, maybe next year...

@greg_allen3 @jesusfacostap Oh they want nothing more than for you to upgrade each year. They are losing profit in a big way when people started settling for every other year. Well...give me a reason to upgrade. Like more than two features. I still might actually. But c'mon.

@bill_trammel watchOS has had the APIs available for third party developers like Spotify to implement offline sync since last fall, with watchOS 5. The issue has been raised a lot on their community forums too. When watchOS 6 is released later this month, Spotify will have the APIs to stream over LTE for cellular watches, but they'll probably find an excuse not to implement that either.. :|

@aaronoleary I know right? The always on screen was one of the reasons I purchased a different brand of smart watch but it was a shame that their apps and services were god awful. I don't think you would miss out too much on getting a series 3/4

@manny_orduna Yeah think I agree there, might see what the price drops too on the older models now. I am pretty old school with my watches though

@aaronoleary @manny_orduna 4>3. Don't even think about a 1 or 2. Those were test models. I've had each of them.
