Only thing I’ll be getting is the Apple Watch elite 2 or whatever. I picked up the standard 8 I think? This last year in Vegas on a work trip and I should have just went for the big daddy one. All of my coworkers have them and it looks really nice. Both for business and my work outs
What you want for the 8?

Time to upgrade my wife's iPhone X. It's on its last legs. Slow. Had to replace the screen once and the battery twice.
Yeah, my X needs a battery. It's the original one too, its done well for itself. But, it usually drops about 15-20% overnight now, and on the TCG Indiana trip, there were several times where just being in the car with the GPS running it got too hot to charge, even though I had it covered from sunlight. I will likely buy the 15 Pro, and keep that for another nearly 7 years.

My wife's battery swelled up. The screen was bulging out. Eventually the screen started getting a green bar that progressively got worse. So I replaced the battery and screen to limp it until the release of the 15. I'll probably get her the pro as well. I still have my Galaxy Note 10+ that I've been rocking but now am looking into getting the fold 5 soon. I finally cracked the front screen and to replace it.... It'll cost as much as it's worth. So I'll replace my phone as well. Just have to see what deals Tmobile offers with the magenta plans.

So I finally skimmed their video, just to see the watch stuff. Wow they get more cringe every time. I miss the old days of simply doing the stage reveal. Why are you walking down a mountain talking about a watch? Like just give me the info.
Yeah, Jobs was an infinitely better salesman. He had his issues, but he was leaps and bounds better than Tim Cook. Both in product and vision.

Though, if you watch the mini-documentary about the iPhone launch, there were like 4 or 5 iPhones on the podium, each one only doing ONE thing right and everything else was broken. You just thought you were seeing a single iPhone do it all, but the truth is during the unvailing demo it barely worked.
