People feel the need to let us know of their feelings about products.
And even more people feel the need to let us know they are "done" with reading such articles. Each time.
With iOS 10 it's ready to use, probably the next hardware generation addresses the other issues. They should call it the Apple Watch 3GS just to make the naming consistent with their other products.

> Obviously defective unit. too dumb to replace it.
I have the same problem. Unplugging/replugging it always fixes it, even though logically it sounds like it shouldn't.
Where developers go, it seems the mass market ends up later on. So you saw a lot of MacBooks at dev conferences from the mid 2000s on, but now.. you're seeing them start to get replaced with Surfaces and other avant garde PCs. MSFT is doing a better job of understanding what developers want lately, and I'm bullish on what this will mean long term if Apple's going to drop the ball on us.
Then you are doing something seriously wrong. My iPhone's batter lasts 3-4 days on a single charge. I use it for GPS and podcast/spotify consumption through out the day.
I don't know why everyone keeps yelling about smartphones and smartwatches not lasting even for a day. All I can think of is that they are playing games or using some constantly connecting social media app(s) through out the day.
Off-topic, but you have duplicated 'is' in the paragraph: "I couldn’t care less that the latest iPhone doesn’t have the best camera on the market. What does grate is is that I can’t even get a day’s charge out of it".
Ah, nice write-up here: http://www.slate.com/blogs/lexicon_valley/2013/09/17/double_...
What i don't get, is why technical people so passionately want to choose camps. Esp. given that most of them can easily use their knowledge to make things work in a heterogeneous environment. Apple makes for a phone that is imho the best compromise. MS makes a desktop that imho is the best compromise. Linux makes imho the best server platform. Fanboyism is neither "cute" nor responsible. Tech writers should actively…
Some Apple products are second to none but for reasons of pragmatism, I'm Windows + Linux VM + Android phone.

Not OP and don't care much about this, TBH, but: >> Remember the iPhone 4?[...] > translation: I was too stubborn to buy a case / bumper to prevent this and suffered and bitched for a year instead It might be just me, but a phone that doesn't work as a phone should mean refunds. It's a design problem (industrial design) and the case is a temporary workaround at best. Are we going to start blaming the clients for the…
