I'm pretty sure I'd be terrified to lift weights or run and sweat all over this thing.

The only thing I want to know is if Apple has addressed the problem with 'Other' bloating to the point where the phone is unusable?


There will be a new way in which messages are handled to allow for deleting automatically after a set amount of time. I know I probably have years worth of iMessage with my wife or close friends that takes up tons of space. Shouldn't be an issue any longer with iOS8

I still don't understand the market for smart watches... Just seems like a frivolous device. You still have to carry your phone? I just don't get it.


Apple still sells billions worth of iPods every year. Who is still buying iPods when your phone does everything an iPod does? Yet people buy it.

I am not a big tech person and never adopt new tech immediately, but I want this badly. I may have to forgo my rule of always waiting for the 2nd version of a new device (which usually is the biggest jump b/c it works out a lot of kinks discovered by the millions of users of the first version).

Apple is really good at selling shite.

I thought smart watches were fricking retarded, but they are doing a good job making me think I want it.

I have a gut feeling they will price package this with the iPhone 6. It will be way too expensive having to buy both if not.


Nope. Watch is coming out at a later date.

Will data be free up to a certain point or will you have to buy that separately?

so apple needs to address the problem with how much shite you put on your phone?


Each day I clear out all texts. I zero emails on my phone. I have zero music downloaded on my phone (spotify). I have completely cleared all Safari bookmarks, and history. I have approx 500 MB of photos on my phone. I have a handful of small apps. Yet 'Other' takes up 11GB on my phone. The only time you see 'Other' is when I plug into iTunes. There is no explanation for what 'Other' is, or why it is taking up so much space. It's a problem.

How moist on a scale from 1-10? FTR I don't think this watch will cost more than $350 for the base model.



I nailed the price!!!!

So far:

No iPad talk
No Mac talk (Yosemite)
No AppleTV talk

Avoided battery life on the watch... curious about that

pretty sure you don't need to always have your phone on you for the watch to work. It syncs back to the phone whenever you're close by.

they probably don't know yet. still working on improving it. they, rightly, shouldn't announce that until they finalize the best battery life as possible.
