Within many English-speaking countries, there exists a children’s story which involves a small engine which could pull a train over a rather difficult hill. For the age level, it teaches courage and the power in small things. A few months back, fellow writer Justin Wack wrote a piece on what his thoughts were on using (and owning) an Apple Watch. Many people have praised Apple for designing and perhaps refining a new product category. In history’s past, both the iPod, iPhone, and iPad have been seen as such devices by some. Others might argue that all of their products have made a less-gradually decreasing impact.

When iOS 8 launched last year, it was definitely not a smooth start to the life of a new operating system. It was the first year during which you could install iOS as a public beta; This opened up an entirely new avenue of people who would now be streaming their feedback to Cupertino. The release was no slouch, either. Building upon the momentum of iOS 7, 8 included such niceties as a redesigned notification center, health kit and a health app, Continuity features, spotlight redesign, and a new multitasking switcher.

For example, there is now a new “rose gold” watch, which is a popular colour choice among many.
