Apple has a trade in option for iPhones, perhaps this will extend to watches, or perhaps the second hand market will be strong. If not you can send it to cash4gold.com ;)

Same with iTV (ITV in the UK) and iPhone back in the day etc. I think we are seeing a move to Apple <Product Name>, partly because of this and partly because the Apple brand is so strong.

Not sure it made much of a difference to insurance premiums, unless you didn't have an immobilizer in which case you premium would go up. I expect the insurance industry benefited most from this.

You can't get a device UUID anymore I don't think. There is also a web view/player I think.

and I imagine Apple will want to keep it that way. Swift will be used as a competative advantage or lock in, depending on your level of scepticism.

What annoys me most is hitting snooze by mistake, you then have to open the clock app to toggle it off and on. Otherwise you alarm goes off while you are in the shower, resulting in angry wife!

What's more worrying is my contact information on friends devices. I have zero control over that. Some of them are even on Android! ;)

One problem would be disk space, I use 90% of my space so adding another user would be a real issue. Perhaps a guest mode would be better, access to all the apps already there, but wipes when they log out.

Yup, was great. Let you reply to messages, run apple scripts on proximity, answer and dial the phone... Not sure why it took apple soooooo long to implement?

The fact you have a quote from "Antonina K. Director of Operations, TrustGuard" with a photo of "Sarah Parmenter, Owner of You Know Who" makes me think you made them up. I wonder how many testimonials on the web are actu

One of the early issues raised about Dart was that it's compiled nature would make it hard to debug and was against the open source (easy to hack) nature of JS on the web. These days JS is more or less compiled, at least the file you g
