calling it now that the most expensive one will be $2999

it's the perfect price since people who have the money and are the target audience (the ones who buy apple products in the first place) will, and just cheap enough that poor people with credit cards can buy one and feel rich. apple wins either way

nah its gonna be 10k according to gruber

yeah he's going to be wrong. no one but like .01% of people can afford a 10k watch and apple would be dumb as gently caress to ignore the simple fact that poor people love bling. the edition watches look gaudy as hell and normal rich people aren't gonna buy them so they should cater to those who will.

if you really, genuinely think that they are charging 10k for a gold watch then you are dumb

the number of people with crippling credit card debt who will buy the poo poo out of it to feel better about themselves is far too great to charge an amount that they can't afford in the more literal sense. so you can have 10k people buy it at $10k a pop, or 50k people buy it at $3k

you think it's targeted at rich people, but surprise, cause in reality it's targeted at poors. h t h

they absolutely will. they'll wear their apple watch daily and the rolex will be left at home for *special occasions* but even that will slip away when they realize the utility they'll be giving up by not wearing the apple watch

lmao no

people who will buy the ugly rear end gold watch:

- persian men
- black women
- white trash housewives

any of these groups may or may not have lots of credit card debt but want to own a gold watch that falls in their "affordable" price range but is a big brand name

$2999. only at the apple store.

also note that many poors own androids, often out of being dumb rather than not being able to afford them because you can get a 5s with the touch id and all for like $0 on contract now. by selling the gold watch to poors they will also have to get iphones for the things to be remotely useful. apple sells another few million.
