Sounds like the author just never actually set it up to be a device that they owned…?

You're reading way too much into some obvious hyperbole. Obviously it can't earn infinite money. We don't have infinite money. Clearly, Herewego just meant that they will make a shit-ton.
That is also hyperbole, by the way. A ton of excrement weighs no more than ton of anything else, including money.
However, yes, I can see the watch becoming more popular than smartphone long term. Machine learning is exceptionally good at finding patterns in noise and it is likely that the Apple Watch, using all of its sensors present and future, will be able to intuit medical conditions that we cannot.
At that point, why the fuck would you not buy one? They can already literally save your life. Add another five or ten things it could save your life from, plus early warnings on lesser problems like diabetes, and it's a no-brainer.

Aren't they like a trillion-dollar company? They can do whatever they want. If anything, it's a bit disappointing they haven't created more tech, considering the resources they have.

Okay, so let's say they become as popular as smart phones, which are used by the majority of the planet. That's still not some game-breaking figure, as we know by the existence of smart phones which have not upended the world economy.

Right. I get notified when I go on walks with my wife. Apple gets scared that my wife’s keys are following me!

So when the power plant sends electricity to my house for me to plug my appliances into, that transported energy I pull out of nothing!

Oh? You're an expect on optical absorption spectroscopy? Could you explain why it won't work then?

> Why do you think that a product that is useful, but only for a small fraction of the population, would make "infinite" money?
The device can reportedly detect diabetes before it actually hits you, which would be invaluable for any pregnant women. Constant monitoring may also have other benefits in regards to informing exercise regimes, or providing some insight into other, more minor issues. Something along the lines of how constant blood oxygen monitoring can let you know if you're getting a serious respiratory ailment.

Fake startup? Weren’t they sued for essentially stealing the startups tech / ideas after not investing?!

Sure, but that was Google. Apple has a much better track record with this kind of thing - and doesn't make bold claims until the tech is in a device ready to be shipped.

> it is worth remembering that the history of physicists declaring something impossible is checkered at best.
Is it? How many things were declared impossible by physicists? To my knowledge, traveling faster than C and reversing entropy...and those are standing strong.

Facebook can track you wherever you are, and whatever you use. It's not an Android problem.
If you have a problem with Facebook tracking, then don't use it.

Ah yes, using a dangerous app (TikTok), while doing a dangerous thing (driving a motor vehicle), what could possibly go wrong? Expect r/whatcouldgowrong to start skyrocketing in popularity because of this.
