Like the watch?I know people will dismiss this as a probable repeat of the Google Glass failure, but if something in Apple's labs has them excited enough to actually do it, then I too am excited.
I'm amazed people are so dismissive of a product they haven't seen. A bit of imagination might help. Or look at MicroSoft hololens demos. Or think how it could help your workflow.
Let's be real here. Google glass didn't flop because of privacy concerns. It flopped because of the price. I'd be willing to bet that had it been priced lower, it would be this generation's iPhone..
I baby my iPhone(s) have done for nine years.
My colleague also looks after her iPhone
Its the second time in 4 years Apple are sending me a new one FREE

"apparently you don't know how to look after things so..."
A tad patronising dont you think?
especially when you are wrong.
The fault is a known quality control issue by apple.

I am being patronising, because you’ve destroyed a cable you’ve had for less than three months. You can’t be trusted with a wire.
Sorry you've lost the plot...of the replies if you can remember I states I have had my iPhone for 25 months only 22 months more than quote.

"New products!! perhaps apple should get their quality right first on existing products
(2nd iPhone cable and colleagues have same problem).
Cost iPhone 6 £699.00 25 months ago shame on you apple I can get a knock off cable 'braided' for a fraction of the cost of a 'genuine' flawed apple cable.

You’re right, sorry I thought you said iPhone 7. That’s still disgusting though, maybe practice taking care of your stuff?
I guess the big picture you are missing is that it's not the computing power or potential, it's the fact the average user does not want a watch...... that is the reason smart watches are a fail....they answer a problem that does not exist....a niche product is not going to overtake the smartphone ....

Why/what does it need a camera for?
Because the mouse only reminds you to charge it once when it has around 10% left, which will easily last (me at least) another 2-4 days. So people use it for that amount of time, then it just dies. And the cat isn't even to blame. So you have to stop whatever you're doing and wait for it to charge.
Let me say upfront that this isn't an insult: I'm wondering how old you are. I say that because I've been around long enough to see niche things make their way into exploding popularity. If you're old enough, you should remember that too.
Before the iPhone, the average person did not by any means want to carry a palm pilot or any other personal organizer in their pockets. It was very much a niche product. The same can be said for BlackBerry, the first device that did portable email well. Only some business people had them. The others wouldn't let you pry their fingers off their IBM ThinkPad in their briefcase. There were also pagers. Only a small segment of people had one.
All of these devices inevitably merged into one that had wide appeal to the ordinary person. And not even the first iPhone did that. It was only around the iPhone 3GS that it began to pick up real momentum. The AppleWatch isn't there yet. It's getting there with speed issues now resolved and a complex OS figured out. Once it gains independence through its own LTE chip, it'll find an ever growing wider audience and with accessories like AirPods and AR glasses, gradually replace the need for a slab of glass in your pocket.
The Watch is at about the same place as the second iPhone at this point. I'm now seeing them on wrists everywhere whereas the first gen, I was one of just a handful of people I knew who had one. Give it a couple more iterations to gain autonomy and for Siri to be perfected into the wearable generation's version of Multi Touch. Then the bigger picture will come into focus.
change is inevitable, so they did not talk. I think that after 20 years Phone in its current form will cease to exist. Will what is incorporated in the human.How many times have we heard from Apple that they weren't interested in a platform/gadget/other only to change course a few years later?
It was pricy, but I would have bought a pair if it would have been available where I live.
Recognize stuff. Translate text. And of course the obvious one: Use it as a camera either for video, photos or live streaming while communicating with someone on the other end, the latter part being potentially extremely useful in lots of situations and different types of work.Why/what does it need a camera for?
