I can't even check the transmission fluid in my own Ford Truck. How many of your cars have you done an engine swap on?

Owwww bless, you missed the point completely ! Humour lost on some eh.....
It's an excellent comparison demonstrating upgradabilty/maintaince of modern apple hardware , where everything is soldered onto the motherboard. Something breaks, you replace the whole unit.
They are deliberately being opaque about it because they had already said they didn't want to disclose sales data on the Apple Watch for competitive reasons. We'll get some idea in July when we see how "Other" sales compare to last quarter.
You do realise macs and PCs have the same hardware ? They are both PCs. The differences is OS X. Hate to break it to you, cars do not run on operating systems
Native apps will be good. But I sincerely hope they enable 3rd party complications. And more watch faces supporting more flexibility regarding complications.
I,m convinced that complications are the killer feature, not just apps. Truly glanceable info on the watch face. That can be touched to open an app if desired.

You do realize Macs are quality controlled, and everyone else is slapdash? The last 2 widows laptops I bought had keys pop off in a few weeks.

"cars do not run on operating systems" - YET
I wonder what was going through Apple's head when they deceided to NOT allow Native Apple Watch apps. If they eventually will, then why the small capacity of 8gb internal memory? This seems really lame.
I can almost hear the replies. What about Tim Cook's little soldiers! I know, I'll hang in there.

They never decided not to allow them. Apple said last September native apps would eventually be coming to the Watch. It's more likely a matter of what software was ready to ship this spring.
I actually prefer not to really have the native apps. I would be concerned about the heat the watch would produce when it's doing processing as opposed to handing off that to the phone. Granted I haven't gotten mine yet and my wife hasn't complained about heat, I'm just thinking of how hot my iphone gets.
Pants on Fire!
"I just want to take this moment to deny that Apple Watch sales are disappointing. The numbers don't matter."
Can we get a greater admission of guilt?
While sales are better than I expected, clearly Apple thinks they're failing.

Omg !!! I have never heard someone complain about a new Mac product on Mac rumours.... Or had a product replaced 4-6 times! Yeah, that was sarcasm!
Jump into the notebook forums, our members seems to find faults in the QC process
All companies suffer from products issues, apple just had the best CS to deal with these issues!

He he .... Question will be, KITT or HAL
It's interesting to me that they haven't actually released any sales figures. Leads me to believe that maybe they aren't as rosy as Apple wants us to believe. If sales were blockbuster, then why wouldn't they brag about them like they do for the iPhone?
So tell me, what can I upgrade on a new apple retina laptop?
----------
An on topic, hope the apple watch sales continue once the pre-orders are filled. Retail store release will be interesting
I think it's a matter of delivery. The sales are there, but Apple can't report them unless they've shipped the product, which they can't at the moment due to supply constraints and production issues.
I think we'll see a big number reported at WWDC next week.

What does that have to do with anything? The cartoon wasn't about upgrading, it was about repairing. A more apt description would have been the apple guy jsut calling apple and having his item taken care of while the OEM of the windows machine jumped through hoops to jerk him around.
What's the aftermarket like on Mercedes or BMW parts, and what percentage of their market is upgrading them? Like I said, My ford truck doesn't have a Transmission fluid dipstick already, the chassis and bearings on my last 2 trucks have been sealed for dealer service only, no grease fittings.
I am going to replace a laptop in a few years anyway, what are you upgrading in yours? My new windows machine I threw an SSD in but then I paid $900 for it, had I bought a 2k laptop I would be replacing it before anything needed upgraded. The retina pro is the only Macbook that can't be upgraded to my knowledge, and it's because the hard drives aren't available, previous ones could be, and the aftermarket ones will be out eventually. Oh, and what's the resale on the super upgradable windows machine? I got a few hundred dollars less than I paid for my wife's Air, I'd be lucky to get $100 for a similar windows machine.
You apple haters are as bad as the fanboys.
BS. My 2006 SAAB Runs on QnX, and that's a fact. I have run telnet to it and confirmed.
