Cellular Connectivity Might Actually Be Driving Apple Watch Sales

The headline feature of Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) Apple Watch Series 3 is cellular connectivity, which can be used to make phone calls from the device, stream music, and generally just makes Apple Watch more of an independent product that doesn't rely on the iPhone. I had my doubts about whether or not cellular connectivity would be enough to spur mainstream adoption, since there is a usability trade-off in terms of battery life, as well as the added cost of yet another data plan ($10 per month at all major U.S. carriers).

Well, it looks like adding cellular connectivity might have done the trick.
