An iWatch could work as the control system of an Augmented Reality ecosystem, allowing people to, for example, flip the pages of a virtual book with wrist gestures. Other than that... Meh.
Choice isn't bad when it's something like storage.
The only choice is storage which should be offered because that is RELATIVE to the user and their storage needs.
It's not like they have for sale iPads with faster processors and slow processors, iPads with different GPUs, different cameras, different screens, etc (other then the previous gen).
In the CURRENT gen you have 1 choice. That is the current iPad.
As for iPad vs Mini...that's acceptable. Again relative to user needs.
To compare the current Apple to the 90s would require Apple of today to put out 6-10 different iPads, 6-10 different iPhones, etc. That is what Samsung and Android currently have going.
This iWatch doesn't exist as a product for sale but already we've got people telling is why it won't work, even though they have no idea what it will look like, what it will do or how much it will cost.
Who still wears a watch these days, ive not worn one since my Nokia 3310 could tell me the time.
to me a watch is now a piece of jewelry rather than a functional item in the modern world, like cuff links and Snoods, no need for them unless your living in the 1800s
I still wear a watch. It's a lot faster and easier to tilt my head and look down at my wrist than it is to reach into my pocket (especially if I'm sitting down, which involves shifting position or standing up, depending on how tight my pocket is), pull out my iPhone, press the home button, look at the time, and put the phone back in my pocket. I check my watch multiple times a day, so the convenience factor adds up.
This iWatch doesn't exist as a product for sale but already we've got people telling is why it won't work, even though they have no idea what it will look like, what it will do or how much it will cost. I've never figured out why people poo-poo a watch but get a hard on for glasses.

Maybe the reason has to do with the fact that lots and lots of people already buy expensive eyewear, while fewer and fewer people are buying wristwatches, expensive or otherwise. This isn't 1985 anymore.
Here is what iOS needs!
1.) Widgets (or something similar).
2.) Auxo (just copy it, no one will be mad)
3.) Finder (Siri needs a man��.
SJ was smart in this sense: Don't give people too many choices!
I think Apple will leave it a good year or so before making the iPad mini Retina. It would have been a massive insult to early adopters if they'd have brought that out less than 6 months after the first was released.
The 4" screen size on the iPhone 5 was simply a move to 16:9
