Q&A

Mark asks on Twitter: If there is a totally new Apple Watch released this year, complete with a whole new WatchOS. What would it take for @SebastienPage to start wearing it? And @melvco to stop wearing it? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Nathan asks via Twitter: I have an iPad but I find myself rarely using it. When was the last time you used an iPad? What do you typically use it for? Why use it over your other devices?
