Future product lust

Personally, I look forward to an Apple Watch that, once SIM data is transferre­d, never needs an iPhone, just the SIM informatio­n from any phone. In other words, a basic mobile phone inside a watch. This would be a “game changer.” Which company will be the first to do this? Bernard McCann We’d like that too, Bernard, especially given praise of Watch Series 3’s call quality. It would be great to only need AirPods and a Watch. Battery life is likely to be the obstacle for some time. Apple’s control of its A-series chip designs arguably gives it an edge in optimizati­on, but we’re not expecting a unified device with all-day battery life soon.
