Apple Watch celebrates 10 years, generating over $100 billion in revenue. It’s popular among younger, wealthier users, with significant usability, helping track health metrics and contributing to perceived happiness and satisfaction. However, its growth has plateaued, utilization remains high, but many users upgrade infrequently. The Watch's shortcomings include Siri's limited capabilities. Overall, while it enhances the Apple ecosystem, it hasn’t revolutionized tech as initially hoped.

TLDR: macOS document versioning, although underused, effectively tracks changes and offers recovery options. It saves versions with every document edit and can be accessed via the File menu, but versions don't transfer between different volumes. Users often overlook its benefits in comparison to Time Machine backups, which don’t preserve version history. For optimal use, consider third-party apps like Revisionist and Versatility to manage versions more effectively.
