which is to say no purpose at all, since that's every object under capitalism

the point is that it has no purpose for an end user, and apple's only purpose for it is to gather customer biomedical data

you can open your garage with it, and also watch on your watch as the garage opens

the iphone was pretty obviously useful when it was introduced, as was the ipad, this i'm much more skeptical on and think its sort of a fad that'll be forgotten but who knows

yeah there were definitely no idiots describing these products as too expensive/not functional enough/more expensive than their base metal components when they were launched

i still don't really get the point in smartwatches but maybe in 5 years things will be different

unlike iphones and ipads, smartwatches are incredibly useless as gently caress. unless you wanna look like some startrek man.

why not just get a fitbit if you want tracking stuff. doesn't it do most of the stuff at a cheaper pricepoint and you can pretend you workout?
