I'm starting to notice more articles from "Apple fanboys" who seem less thrilled with the products. Walt Mossberg liking the Samsung Galaxy S6 over the iPhone 6+ was the first defection... even though the Galaxy S5 was/is a better product for me than their S6 and clearly better than Apple to me when I made the decision to buy two of them when we were shopping for new phones.

I waited two months after launch, but I did end up buying an Apple AAPL -0.31% Watch. I picked a 42 mm Apple Watch Sport, which retails for $399. That’s on the low end of the spectrum as far as Apple Watch’s pricing goes, and there was no way I was going to part with $17,000 for an Apple Watch Edition, which is quite literally exactly what I paid for my car.
