I'd also add that the mobile gaming market on iPhone is the largest individual gaming competitor, at least by the dollars, and bigger screen probably enhances play experiences that can be had on mobile.
That was my same thought!
Brands I have never heard of that can't make a call, send messages or add a reminder popping up like they invented sliced bread.
We get it, some people don't want to charge a watch even though they have to regularly charge their phone, headphones, laptop and maybe car. Such a weird flex that a watch lasts an extra few days, who cares?! Charge it while you shower and you're good to go

The fact that these are your top 3 reasons to consider Apple Watch as the only brand to own speaks volumes about why monopolists shouldn't be allowed to keep APIs private indefinitely, the way Apple has with every API the Watch uses. I'm pretty sure every API that smartwatches have access to on iOS were introduced before the Apple Watch was a product. In other words, Apple arrested the progress of all other smartwatches for everyone on the iOS platform in 2015 so that they (and their fans) can smugly tout all these exclusives. (I'd add to your list the 'make my phone beep' feature, which is the main reason my whole family owns Apple Watches.)
I think it's 2 different end-consumers. Apple targets "watch on my arm", garmin targets fitness tracker that happens to do a few watch things (notifications, payments, some limited messaging).
It’s a more focused sports experience. I genuinely didn’t use the messaging or reminder or calendar features when I had an Apple Watch, so they are just bloat.
If the app is good the app is good. End of discussion
Why do you care how it was made? What’s next? It matters what country or city the developer is from or ahah language it’s written in or what machines were used or how the electric was sourced
I’ve been an antigravity user since day one. It’s been great when I hit usage limits.
I’ve uninstalled it and will never again use a Google ai product since my Gmail account is simply too important to lose. I don’t care if it’s 10x better and 10x cheaper , these kind of terms are insane!
It's funny you mentioned that. I built RNKFlow.com to bring back the old school feeling of Digg to HN and honestly, seeing how clean the interface is for AIBriefs made me think this layout is just more pleasing to the eye.
Glad you liked it. I checked out RNKFlow, and looks neat!
I think UI preferences is a tricky topic, a lot depends on the type of reader and how deeply they care about the topics.
I started optimizing for my own preferences, but then tweak based on feedback and added views to support other type of readers.
That is it. Nothing else.
