Do you think that they'd really make a "sport"/fitness version that's not durable enough?
Five years ago no they wouldn't, Apple had a solid track record of quality.
Today? Not so much.
Bendgate, Antennagate, have taken their toll, both of which I personally experienced. I buy between three and five phones each time new iPhone's are released. One for each person in my family. Thus I have experience with more than one of each model.
When the original iPhone was released, I bought five of them. They were of excellent quality and exactly the same as new products should be. Each year all the way up to iPhone 4, I bought five because we like to have new phones. Out of all the ones I bought up to but not including iPhone 4, were all wonderful, terrific quality and equal performance.
Then Apple dropped the bombshell. All five iPhone 4 models had serious problems trying to hold a signal so they could make calls. It was such an embarrassing situation for Steve Jobs it's the only time he lost his cool while making a public announcement about it. Yet the cult like Apple followers denied it like it didn't exist. It was rather interesting. Suffice to say, it was indeed real. So real that to mitigate the issue Steve began claiming we were holding the phone wrong and treated us like idiots. That completely reframed how I perceived Steve Jobs. He made it very clear we were dummies and he was brilliant.
Anyway fast forward back to now, the only thing I do know is Apple proved it's very risky and expensive to trust them. I'll let someone else be the test monkeys for the aluminium Apple Watch ..ha ..ha ..ha
Time will tell. Yes just a little play on words to lighten up the situation.
