The saddest part of this whole fiasco is that Apple itself is suffering from the lack of competition.

Apple Watch for example gets a huge boost from being the only wearable that integrates with iOS. But it has a lot of quality issues, and is by far the worst Apple product in my opinion. Apple would have a lot more incentive to improve it if they had to compete with other smart watches on a level playing field.

What quality issues have you experienced? I've owned almost every Apple Watch since their debut and have never had an issue with any of them.

The Apple watch suffers in your scenario. Not necessarily Apple.

Yeah. I recently got a Garmin Watch after years of using an Apple Watch. On Android you can enable/disable notifications per app. On iOS you are stuck with all or nothing because Apple does not permit the same amount of integration as they permit their own products.
