Apple Said to Be Planning Three iWatch Models from 1.6 to 1.8 Inches, Sapphire on High End

Angry people in 3...2...1...

 

I'll spend up to $500 on the iWatch. I mean, I spent $250 on a Pebble Steel and it can barely tell the time without freaking out/disconnecting.

 

Personally, I don't ever think I'll need an iPad bigger than 9.7", but we'll see. Very interested in iWatch though. Love that mockup.

 

At this point it's obvious Apple is throwing people off with all of these different sizes... Probably trying to weed out the leakers.

The next iPhone is one thing, but we are really in the dark about the iWearable.

But my question is, when it gets announced why don't we look back on these articles and see who was right and who was way off. That'll help with knowing who's reliable and who isn't.

 

People joke about Tim Cook's claim to crack down on leaks, but these "analysts" really have no idea what's going on right now, and for that, Tim should be commended.

 

Would make sense seeing that wrists and arms come in wildly different sizes.

 

It better look like a normal wrist watch, because all those geeky smart watches out there just suck. Even the Moto360, it is really fat.

 

I can't comprehend these sizes until I see them in tape mockup form...

Some help here?

 

I really hope that isn't what it looks like. It needs to resemble an actual watch for me to not feel like an idiot wearing it.

 

Having two sizes makes sense: chunky one for blokes, smaller one for girls. You see this in every watch retailer. But then having another, "pro" version of the larger watch smacks of playing to "boys with toys" consumerism.

Which of course means that I'll end up buying one.

 

No way. iWatch won't have a touchscreen, it'll have a 3D beamy thing giving a hologram effect like off Star Wars, all which is fully interactive. This means if you need more real-estate or add new features, it's not a problem; one of the main advantages when the iPhone didn't come with a physical keyboard. Otherwise there's no advantage to a small touchscreen; it won't add any functionality to the ecosystem. It won't be as good as an iPhone/iPad for browsing, making calls, or anything else. It'll be redundant.

My money's firmly on Apple popping in some technology 5-10 years ahead of their competitors' pipelines. If they perfect it they could easily have it running in tandem with an iPhone to make calls (much like OS X 10.10 will), without the limitations of the Galaxy Gear (crappy sluggish interface and tiny screen).

 

I have the original pebble and put that thing through hell. I swim in it and shower with it on. It never disconnects or fails on me

Obviously they know nothing about a product that is not in production. As soon as the production starts we see the device in full well before the release. Just look at the iphone 6. We have basically known exactly what it will look like for at least 2 months.

 

I can't wait for the Jony video that explains this in detail.

 

Good. So customers have choices. Like they should have had with the iPhone ages ago.

 

Teeny iPhone

Hahahah. That mockup is the silliest thing. It looks like a shrunken iPhone pasted on a wrist band. Surely Apple has more imagination than that.

 

There was a choice. Buy the iPhone, or don't.

 

I personally think the one people who will be purchasing these watches are loyalist

 

As much as I love Apple, I have my limit as to what I would spend on a "smartwatch". Hopefully the entry level one is $250 or less.

 

Looking forward to a larger iPad.

 

Yes: I have the real one right here.

 

yuk!

God, I hope it looks better than that geeky mock up!

Why not just duct tape a shuffle to your wrist?

 

Lmao you haven't seen it and you don't know it's features...

 

Hah! You are right!

I wanted a big screen, so I went with an Android phone. Like probably millions of people, too. Lost dollars for ...

 

Well it doesn't make sense to have a smart watch when you will still need a phone in your pocket for functionality . What a waste of money if you asked me except for the loyalists .
