Comment: An Apple Watch with LTE has the potential to be a true iPhone replacement

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/apple-watch-series-1-vs-series-21.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600&h=900)</div><p>I’ve always been very skeptical when it comes to Apple Watch. From the start I wasn’t necessarily convinced that I had a need for the device (https://9to5mac.com/2016/09/21/apple-watch-series-2-skeptic/). Its price tag and early user interface bugs quickly wore thin on me and I ultimately found myself going weeks at a time without wearing it or even charging. As I wrote last year, however, watchOS 3 and Apple Watch Series 2 quickly changed my opinion and made Apple’s wearable an integral part of my lifestyle (https://9to5mac.com/2017/01/26/apple-watch-series-2-comment/).</p>
<p>When people started calling on Apple to add LTE functionality to the Apple Watch (https://9to5mac.com/2016/04/25/opinion-apple-watch-2-cellular/), however, I was puzzled. Why does a wearable that’s always connected to the iPhone need LTE?</p>
<p>The more I’ve thought about it, though, the more I see the other side of the argument. The perfect Apple Watch is one that has no dependancy on the iPhone, but rather is fully functional wherever you go.</p>
