one use case for the big phone/watch combo http://www.vox.com/2014/9/25/6843781/iphone-6-plus-apple-watch-future

doesnt take into consideration the need for a bag for yr big phone

Def not buying first gen, but could see myself getting one eventually. If it was like a $50 accessory I'd probably buy it in a second.

Don't want to beat this to death, but there are definitely differences between having something on your wrist that you might need a finger to operate (assuming siri isn't so good by then that you're doing most tasks by voice) and having something occupying your hand that you need to actually put down/away.

I hope this thing doesn't become mandatory, I hate wearing stuff on my wrist.

ugh (lukas), Wednesday, 1 October 2014 15:48 (nine years ago) link

there are differences but are they difference makers is the question

lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 15:48 (nine years ago) link

also do people want to use voice as their primary interface? its not private at all

lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 15:49 (nine years ago) link

also this thing will never be close to $50

lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 15:49 (nine years ago) link

All fair questions, but Apple's track record of confounding these sorts of questions makes me continue to think the odds are the watch will be a success.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 1 October 2014 15:52 (nine years ago) link

bad assumption imho, better to judge the merits, its not like apple has never put out an underwhelming/failed product before, btw think back to the ipad rumors/launch who was the most bullish it was me

lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 15:54 (nine years ago) link

tho we have no idea what apple would consider a success w this thing, like you have to have an iphone to use it, will that always be the case, quite possibly due to os/software/hardware integration issues, so your prospective market is limited to iphone owners, if 10% of iphone owners bought this watch wld they be happy, maybe but then is that enough for people to want to make apps for it to unlock all its magical potential idk

lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 16:03 (nine years ago) link

will the ugly watches be success? You couldn't have noticed people who use apple products don't think for themselves anymore, if apple tells them its a good idea, it is.

Raccoon Tanuki, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 16:27 (nine years ago) link

as lagoon said, they've buried enough failures to prove that's not the case

Nhex, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 16:28 (nine years ago) link

reminder they don't pay any taxes and sit on 100bn cash reserves and their factories have suicide nets installed.

Raccoon Tanuki, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 16:34 (nine years ago) link

lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 16:39 (nine years ago) link

Raccoon Tanuki, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 16:44 (nine years ago) link

yeah the corporate tax code is super fd up and every big company takes advantage of it

lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 16:45 (nine years ago) link

the thing ur talking abt is only on business done in other countries fwiw

lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 16:45 (nine years ago) link

tax rate of 0.06% globally then they overcharge you by half to buy their inflated products as a fashion symbol made by someone paid $100 a month lol they literally hate you

"they create stuff that makes doing things the old way, never a problem before, seem like a problem"

hate this... most things are fine, stop making new things. shut down world production of things. let's depopulate and go to sleep.

chinavision!, Thursday, 2 October 2014 13:24 (nine years ago) link

that's harsh, but I'm pretty tired of people making new things

I completely fucked up my jailbreak attempt! It didn't work properly the first time and after a system restore I misread an instruction about updating firmware and accidentally updated to iOS 8.0.2 which isn't currently jailbroken and apple have stopped allowing downgrades to 7.1.2. Fuck this shit >:(

xelab, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:26 (nine years ago) link

why do u want to jailbreak

lag∞n, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:27 (nine years ago) link

Because I Hate Apple.

xelab, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:30 (nine years ago) link

lag∞n, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:35 (nine years ago) link

When you have fuck all money free apps are very useful!

xelab, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:45 (nine years ago) link

apps cost like $1 dollar tho

lag∞n, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:46 (nine years ago) link

lag∞n, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:47 (nine years ago) link

lag∞n, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:47 (nine years ago) link

The Ipad is for my son who has autism and he could potentially click his way through hundreds of these apps without realising the damage which is why I want it jailbroken and with no accounts at all.

xelab, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:51 (nine years ago) link

ah so

lag∞n, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:56 (nine years ago) link

ios 8 has family mode where you can require permission to install/change things from someone else. seems useful.

⌘-B (mh), Thursday, 2 October 2014 18:20 (nine years ago) link

I might have to look at that option for now but at some point I want to install a torrented speech/language app that I already paid over £100 for on his ipad2 + can't afford to pay for again. I don't know why I bother with any app's tbh, I spent weeks filling his Nexus7 with apps + games and aside from a brief fruit ninja spell all he wants to do is pursue his inexhaustible enthusiasm for youtube swimming pool/aquarium/water wheel footage.

xelab, Thursday, 2 October 2014 19:51 (nine years ago) link

no snark: you should start an ilx thread for youtube swimming pool/aquarium/water wheel footage

the other song about butts in the top 5 (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 2 October 2014 20:34 (nine years ago) link

i imagine you have a pretty good sense of the gradations of quality there now

the other song about butts in the top 5 (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 2 October 2014 20:34 (nine years ago) link

Why would you have to pay for it again if you already bought it? Newer version?

⌘-B (mh), Thursday, 2 October 2014 20:44 (nine years ago) link

xp

This was the last vid he was watching on his Nexus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Olvm9_G3psQ I'd guess there won't be an ILX thread for that!

It was purchased on his Ipad2 years ago which didn't last long. Since then Pc's have died, empires have fallen Idk how the fuck to get it back but I refuse to (and cannot afford too) pay for it again.

xelab, Thursday, 2 October 2014 21:47 (nine years ago) link

if you're still linked to the same itunes account you should be able to download it again for free, no matter the device.

Apple support is fairly helpful on such things if you can identify the account somehow, unless you had two-factor auth turned on
