Thank you for everything @tim_cook, you've saved my life and millions more! Below is an open letter I sent you, that I also wanted to share with the world: it explains why I'll personally forever be grateful to you. Dear Tim, You once told us the world needs us in the arena. For 15 years, you’ve fought in that arena. As you step away to the sidelines today, just remember the immense impact you had while you were in it. We've never met, but I wanted to send you a note to say thank you. Why? For many reasons, but chiefly for the Apple Watch. In 20 years of covering technology, this is the product that will forever resonate with me as truly game-changing in ways other consumer technology products cannot be. 6 years ago, I had a heart attack after Thanksgiving, and the Apple Watch saved my life several times, and then proved to be an incredibly powerful companion in getting me back to good health. I've often said to people that Apple has done many great things, but the greatest is the Apple Watch. As you said, it's the biggest impact Apple has ever had on humanity, and the millions of lives saved would not have been possible with any other product. The current focus on health, both as an industry and as humanity, would also not have been possible without the industry you and your team kickstarted, and I will forever be grateful that you chose to bring this product to market. 40 years from now, when I'm hopefully still alive, I'll still forever be an Apple Watch fan. Money comes and goes, market cap fluctuates, and political winds blow in multiple directions, but this is a legacy that no one can ever deny. Congratulations on 15 incredible years you deserve to be lauded for, and for doing what few thought possible: picking up the mantle from Steve Jobs and leading Apple from strength to strength. I wish you the best in your new role. Thank you again! If there's ever a doubt that it was worth everything, I hope this email and the many others remind you of just how many lives you helped save.

Randomly went into my local CeX earlier today and talked to the staff who I know well. This tweet is bs wrt to the Duo, here’s why: First, CEX requires a purchase receipt Second, CEX requires for the Duo to be fully paid off and need proof/final invoice etc. Third, there may be further checks for new customers etc.

RT @thisistechtoday: What’s funny about Instagram adding long-form video and reels that link to the long form is the complete lack of any s…

Anyone who thinks the iPhone Duo is a failure - as some suggest in these comments- is stupid and doesn’t understand the industry. Duo has locked in customers for the next decade, even though it’s not the best doable in the world.
