Apple should only do ‘when it’s done’ launches

Fall 2024 has been the time to refresh my Apple gear, whether I like it or not — my iPhone 13 was at the edge of reasonable trade-in value, and the battery life on my Apple Watch Series 6 recently plummeted to the point where I was using Low Power Mode just to get through the day. So here I am, the owner of a fresh iPhone 16 Pro and a refurbished Apple Watch Ultra 2. No, I wasn’t willing to spend full price on year-old specs just to get an Ultra in black.
