      Siri : You play with it for a few minutes, then are you really still using it? Google Now seems so much more useful (but I admit it does feel less like a game).

      Smart Cover : I find the one for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S much more practical.

      Airdrop / Airplay : same as Android but proprietary.

      Notification and Control Center : are you kidding? It feels like a cheap copy of Android's, it's nowhere near as good as Android's version. Have you ever used an Android device?

      App Extension : same question as above.. it's a good step forward for Apple but still far behind the feature it's copying in Android.

      iCloud : so nice to have just a few GB when you can have so much more in Android.
      It keeps bugging me with the iCloud backup reminder which sometimes cannot be closed (and I can't access anything under it, not even the restart sliding bar, so I have to force restart the iPad).
      Sync Data between Android devices works great too.. again, have you tried Android recently?

      We're not in denial, just wondering what Apple is doing.

        Time for Apple to show how to do a smartwatch right. Ok???

        Just like Apple Pay - No one uses ths
        Just like Siri No one uses this other than for comedy
        Just like Continuity - ????
        Just like TouchID - Good but gimmicky
        Just like Smart Cover.
        Just like Airdrop / Airplay - Been around for ages
        Just like Notification Center and Control Center - Been around for ages and not as good as androids which iOS copied
        Just like Game Center - Awful usability
        Just like App Extension - ??

        And so many others, like iTunes Match / iCloud Backup / iCloud drive & Sync Data between multiple Apple devices - This part is good but so so restrictive oh and not to mention pple control what you have on your devices - U" Album anyone??

        No wonder Android fanboys are in denial and anger. Because it isn't very nice to be told you are doing it wrong after a head start - typical fanyboys response here, i admit i am an adroid user and have no anger with my device as it does more for my daily liestyle thanan apple product could. Haha and as for doing things wrong you couldn't be any further from the truth, Apple just like to take the best parts of other phones (not just android) and call it innovation and give it a fancy name and watch all the fanboys go nuts.

                      Will most probably get one. Apple Watch Steel version, with black leather 'modern' buckle.

                                      Either way, this watch is going to outsell every other smart watch out. Best believe that.

                                        from 8am - 8pm, it only needs 30% of battery life. Stop saying 360 sucks.
