Can I have one iPhone (in USA) and two watches - one in USA (me), another in Europe with my dad attached to local European SIM card to call local European number if he falls?

Certain self-policing, engaging communities proven to be quite an efficient in that. Sort of like multiple downvotes will kill the post quickly.
I have elderly father in Eastern Europe and he would really benefit from this.
Basically preventing any platform ownership to go awry or sneaky against user's or group needs.
Once i got a job at IBM (as a consultant) and they told me i had to structure it via "agency". IBM was willing to pay premium on top of my rate to make all legal paperwork to come through easier.
So i had to call "lucky" agency myself.
I called first one I knew - but the agent there had a bad habit of ignoring my calls. He ignored me again.
Then i called another agency and they happily agreed to make paperwork happen.
I conservatively estimate the loss of the first guy's agency was about $170,000 in do-nothing fees due to ignorance.
I have it in Windows version for high res image editing. It'll fly with Linux.

There is so much data is being generated and worldwide enterprises are lagging so much in discovery and leveraging insights in data - so there are lots of fun work here.
Add ML and AI here.
Applying it to above gives you even more powers.
And then - you can apply these to any other discipline.
Do you ... backup?
I tell my wife to take yellow cab in NYC airports, not Uber-X.
The problem with yellow cabs is that 90% of them look like run down shit. They're no cadillacs. The problem ends here. We get predictable pricing and predictable person and predictable drive. In airports they're just there. No disappointments with trusting Uber's misleading arrival times that typically grossly exaggerated, no shady callbacks from Uber mafia driver trying to figure out where you're going to find excuse not to take you there.
Try to take Uber Black in LA airport. You'll get immediate callback from armenian mafia driver with attitude pulling all kind of BS to judge whether take you or not. 75% of chance he'll insist that you need to cancel the ride (not him of course).
In 5-10yrs you'll be giving this advise to new wave of enthusiastic developers bought for lots of "equity" and little cash.
Use your FB salary and fly to Vegas. You'll have better return on investment than from average startup equity performance.
Early stage startup "equity" is worthless.
2. Auto-transfer any incoming calls not in my contact list to voicemail. Apple?
Typical "bad" or rather high-risk idea is when someone is coming up with "solution looking for a problem". It typically starts with: "Oh, I have this amazing idea about the great business... ". Countless millions lost this way.
On the opposite spectrum - typical high success rate idea is born via tight relationships where you already have customer with money ready to buy specific thing where you form startup to build it.
And then you retain ownership to rinse-repeat-resell.
Law enforcement will end up spying on regular citizens and catching small fish while big fish and bad hackers will laugh watching.

That said anything-metal falling from the sky is dangerous.
Ballmer thought differently. Or most likely didn't think at all.
This makes it nightmare to manage anything.
Mac ecosystem is cleaner and more tighly controlled.
With Windows - it's a business opportunity for someone to plug Microsoft holes and come up with easy migration/restore service.

Touchscreens are vulnerable for fat fingering.
Every time i carry my touchscreenable laptop - it gets crazy because of accidental touches, moves, brushes and if i forget to lock the screen completely - this bordering with disaster, such as deleted files, moved folders, spradically launched apps, etc..
