There's also the question of the iPod Nano differing in every fundamental aspect of hardware and software capabilities, though maybe that doesn't matter either.
The good news: rumour has it that owning a Watch won't be compulsory straight away, so you should be able to get away without wearing one for now if you don't like it.Comment

The apple watch should not need a screen even but just focused 100% on health. Instead they've thought 'watch and so it should look like one', but I don't believe people wear watches anymore.

Even in the old days, the value of all your gadgets would probably be considerably less in real-world terms than the cost of an iPhone. Remember, it's not only wealthy folk touting these things - would you have had all those things as a school-kid? If you suggested your parents might like to buy you something equivalent to £600 in today's money, how would that have gone?

Originally posted by woohoo View PostThe watch looks a pile of crap. If your company peddles hype like Apple do then you need to deliver, which to be fair they have done pretty well. The watch isn't something I would wear and I'm wearing a bulky Garmin GPS watch. The watch isn't going to make me switch to the apple environment nor are the two phones.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostIt's amazing. £600 for a phone, and people expect to own one (or something similar). I'd think long and hard about spending £600 on a new guitar!
Also - no 32Gb version?Comment

What a disappointment. Perhaps Jonathan Ive has reached his peak.
