Weight of the case (55g) from apple.com, then I plugged it into a gold scrap calculator.

ok so rather than copying some idiots posts from elsewhere you are, in fact, literally sat there working out the cost of the raw materials of this watch and attempting to prove that apple is somehow being dishonest by charging more for the product than these base costs in some weird money making scam you loving moron oval office

i agree, that's not the iwatch's purpose but the problem is that it has no purpose so people are just casting about to try and find one

its purpose is to be a desirable object that people will want to own

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

it does have a purpose for the end user

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

iphone and ipad were market-defining products, the iwatch is not

if there are products existing now with the 'same feature set' as the apple watch, then there were products existing at the time of the iphone and the ipad that also had the same feature set of each

this is objectively incorrect

watch the release of the original iphone, steve calls out by name products that would be its closest competitors feature-wise and iphone is completely differentiated

the ceo of blackberry, the undisputed leader in email-capable phones at the time, thought that the iphone was 100% fake, that's how different it was

wrong

there is not a single thing that the iphone or ipad did that could not be done already on alternative products

apple's success is the way they offer these features
