  <p>Nice to hear some casual and dispassionate back and forth about the newer iPhones. When my HP x3 started glitching earlier this year, I knew it was finally time to move to something else. I'm going through an iOS evaluation phase at the moment, so I decided to replace the x3 with either an 8+ or X. Ordinarily I am an early adopter, but one of the shoulder angels persuaded me that the X design might need a little more time in the oven. I finally pulled the trigger on the 8+ a little over a month ago and have been pretty happy with it. If the Xv2 or whatever they will call it looks good a few months down the road, I may get one and pass the 8+ on to a daughter or grandchild. </p><p><br></p><p>I watched the Apple keynote a few days ago and was surprisingly interested by the Apple Watch segment. I had never seriously considered putting one of those on my wrist, but since my last Band 2 was barely holding together– the shreds of the rubber wrist strap were held in place by four or five bicycle inner tube patches — I went to the Apple Store the afternoon of the keynote and picked one up. It's not as clearly organized or easy to read as the Band 2 that I am replacing, but it's not bad enough to return. It counts calorie expenditures about 15-20 percent below the Band for the same activities, but it has the advantage of an "Other" activity that I can use for things that the Band designers never thought to include — like yard and house work that is hardly demanding exercise but burns more calories than watching FRD episodes. </p><p><br></p><p>The comment on the code name Carmel in that other thread is right on — it has to be a reference to the California coastal city where Clint Eastwood was briefly mayor in the '80s, and the stress goes on the second syllable.</p><p><br></p><p>Keep up the good work. I love the information you guys pump out and the amusing ways you do it.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
