It was this month a year ago when I posed the question: Will the Siri face survive watchOS 10 and Apple Watch widgets? To my knowledge, Apple has never retired a watch face. Some are hardware specific, others are redesigned, but watch faces don’t leave the Apple Watch. I think that’s why the Siri watch face still exists for now, but it will need some love to stay relevant. As of watchOS 10, the Siri watch face is six versions old. It debuted with much potential and made steps toward realizing that potential before it stalled. Now there’s a new widget system on Apple Watch that turns the Siri watch face into an antique. It still has some uniqueness to it, but I’m not sure that will be the case this time next year. Well, it’s “this time next year” now, and the Siri watch face on has not survived. more…09:38 pmApple adds more than $700 billion in market value since April
