I do get a little annoyed when companies has presentations followed by a video that repeats all the information from the presentation.

that's actually one of the tenets of public speaking

you tell people what you're going to tell them,
you tell them,
then you tell them what you told them

Internet suggests under $1200 per oz. An iphone 4 weighs just under 5oz. A solid gold iphone 4 would cost therefore cost $6000. $10k is some moneyyyyyyyyy.

At this point you're comparing your back of the napkin calculation of a solid block of gold by weight and the cost an actual product with thousands of engineering man hours put into it that also needs to offset the cost of heightened security in its stores; writing, debugging, documenting, releasing, and supporting the WatchKit SDK; packaging, documenting, and supporting the device; training its employees to troubleshoot the device; and fitting factories to machine the device, and the metallurgical work done to make the gold less malleable. And the margin so that the company actually makes money after all that.

As a piece of anecdata, I wear my S0 24/7 except for when I'm in the shower. It always has charge enough, even for all-night motion and heart rate tracking with the Pillow app.
