New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

think this thread demonstrates there's a market for phones with grooves on the back for your coke.

the market for magic watches is 95% masculine-gendered. dying at "females would love this because they have no pockets!!!!!"

Don't really have an opinion about this WATCH tbh but I use/need a watch and wear a cheapie fitness watch all the time. I need to manage my time and checking my phone is rude vs glancing at my wrist

also yeah I have a chest strap HR monitor and it's def cumbersome

didn't say they "would" love this, just wondered if the appeal is different if getting your phone out is a hassle

true except i dont think this thing is really a watch

has anyone made a smart purse yet

good idea

I'm leaning toward the 6+ now that I've heard that the interface is ever so slightly tweaked for it:

fair, interesting

do these watches not work w/ iphone 5s?

reachability sounds pretty bad btw

Wonder how much difference the optical image stabilization in the 6+ will make

Anyone else think the font used for Apple Watch is, if not ugly, at least unusually plain or generic? (compared to the "tv" in Apple TV)

i don't get the watch. it's for reading text messages? and counting steps? something magical that someone will figure out real soon now?

okay so they work w/ 5 and 6

I feel like it would have been way smarter to get it to at least 'kinda sync' w/ an older iphone, for a lot of people this becomes way more than $350 if you have to upgrade phones too

do these watches not work w/ iphone 5s?

4S is two generations behind (what I got), they want people to get on new 2-year contracts

i mean, 3 generations actually (4S to 5 to 5C/5S)

Anyone seen a video of a lefty trying to use the watch? Because it sure ain't designed for it.

can you turn it upside down and have the display flip?

I don't know! The crown and button placement might be awkward, even if the display flips.

well 5c is free w contract for me now at least. still have a cracked 4 i could barely afford 4 years ago. i have no reason to participate itt.

Yes

Almost everyone I've talked to that are planning to upgrade are just going for the 6, not the 6+. Disagree with that article up that that the 6 is DOA, it's still going to be wildly popular.

ya ill def get the 6 6+ too damn big mane the vast majority of phones sold in the world today are smaller than that

shits a full on phablet

not good for putting in yr pocket imho

amongst things I'm curious about is to see how they will be selling these at the Apple Stores

I can't wait to jailbreak one of those so I can make the second-hand look like Mickey Mouse's dick.

I'm probably going to end up getting a battery case for the 6 to double the battery life anyway.

Clapple.

that was my favorite concept, too! xp

still waiting for the watch that turns your thumb and pinky into a receiver

So last night on the way home I stopped at tekserve in Chelsea to see how many iPod classics they were sitting on. They had 5 silver and 15 black; the guy was like yeah these should last a couple of months.

Fulminated over it at work today, decided to get one just in case-- I just went and all they has left was one black. So yeah I guess ppl are buying them up. At least in NYC.

B&H still lists stock

Dunno who mentioned the 128 GB option upthread but I feel like they're probably discontinuing it because they're getting ready to offer the Touch or w/e in a 128GB flavor

Oh definitely.

The copy for the watch Collections (e.g. http://www.apple.com/watch/apple-watch/) on the website is full-on fashion/jewelry pitched:

A small French tannery established in 1803 produces the supple Granada leather for this elegant band. The smooth top-grain leather is lightly milled and tumbled to attain a refined texture. What looks like a solid buckle is actually a two-piece magnetic closure that’s delightfully simple to secure. We also added an inner layer of material for strength and stretch resistance. It’s the same material NASA used to create the parachute strings for the Mars Rover. This band is available in soft pink, brown, and midnight blue.

mmmm, supple

this is the only worthwhile post in this thread

here's the watch guy reaction, summary is "these are straight up nicer bands than any other watch you could get at this price but they won't replace mechanical watches for wealthy white dudes who like buying jewelry" http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/hodinkee-apple-watch-review

this is a site with articles that use "under $10,000" as a price point

I know that electronics are cheap and taken for granted now, but slobbering over mechanical watch engineering like it is way more complicated than what goes into an apple watch makes a person sound ridiculous.

at least unlike your average audiophile they don't claim that the seconds marked off by an automatic Swiss watch have a richer tone than quartz

I need to sell some mechanical watch snake oil
