apple watch is going to make apple a trillion dollar company

maybe if they can figure out how to make a not useless version of it in 10 years when the technology for such a thing actually exists

i asked earlier what kind of case should i get for my edition, i don't want to scratch the gold.

i'm thinking hard plastic maybe with a burberry or tory burch print?

get the watch equivalent of those useless soft bendy plastic iphone cases that make the phone even more slippery

anyone paying $10k for the watch will feel Pretty Dumb when the second edition comes out in 12 months and has double the features

it wont because a smartwatch only has a limited number of applications (actually 1: throwing it in the trash)

it's retina.... the retina MBP had worse battery life than the regular ones

but they had equal or better performance. this is worse in pretty much every measurable way except for the screen, which is still questionable since its got a strange aspect ratio and isnt even particularly high res

far be it for me to defend the honor of glorious apple products, but the whole point of usb type c / usb 3.1 is that it can be both a charger and a dock at the same time with one cable. having two is only an issue for a power user scenario, and if thats you, you arent the target market anyway

youre still going to need some weirdo squid dongle to plug in pretty much anything to it so idk it seems poorly thought out to me

the processor might be clocked at 1.1-1.2GHz but will peak at 2.9GHz and Intel has been pulling off loving miracles when it comes to getting poo poo done with lower clockspeeds. i wouldn't be shocked if the actual performance is a significant jump despite being clocked lower

yeah i looked em up. i was wrong.

lol. i mean 99.9% of people that just use them to facebook won't notice but not even offering any higher performance is pretty hilarious. they'll probably still manage to overheat too.

i could see it maybe becoming a good product later on when more things adopt usb type c and if they decide to add magsafe to it and somehow give the keyboard more travel

the first mba was garbage also so it'll probably take a few years before this is good
