Oh please. What about the very successful iPod silhouette campaign that featured famous artists music. How about Apple partnering with U2 and Madonna on special edition iPods. Or most recently buying Beats whose headphones became popular in part because so many pop stars and athletes were seen using them. If Apple can get big name fashion influencers to push
Watch and that in turn helps drive sales all the better for Apple. Since the Watch is still a work in progress from a software/features perspective all Apple can push right now is the fashion aspect.Oh please.

Indeed. All they can promote now is form over function
How is that different than Steve Jobs who stood up on stage in tennis shoes and jeans?

Nah, form over function is making a "smartwatch" round just because analog watch faces are round.
I'm not quire sure you can equate the two. Jonny Ive is not Steve Jobs. Different people. Different personalities. Different public perceptions.

You missed my tongue in cheek comment. Function - as in - the watch does not function yet.
$1,200
Estimating that the Edition phone will be $1,200 is funny. I suspect that it will be much more expensive than that. What is the point of making something out of a luxury material like solid gold and then pricing it at a level that the upper middle class can afford? That hardly is going to be make it a sought after device. Why not price it at $12,000? Sure you will sell less, but then it will be a REAL luxury item that sends a message or REAL status. Sure you won't sell that many. But instead of getting $400 profit from each sale, you will get $9,000 from each sale. And you might not sell that many less of these devices.
I don't know if the Edition will be over $10,000. But I don't think it is just going to be an incremental increase in price over the steal version. Especially since we see in the luxury watch industry that the solid gold version is always MUCH more expensive than the steal version of a watch.

Fashion: Where the most idiotic dressed people are considered geniuses at making clothes. "Here we have the 2015 bag over the head look."
I'd probably think the same about anything, if I had no idea about it at all.Fashion: Where the most idiotic dressed people are considered geniuses at making clothes. "Here we have the 2015 bag over the head look."
Of course they're different people but Ive has never had the reputation of being a 'sharp dressed man'. That could be said about most Apple executives who show up on stage in jeans and untucked shirts.
No I knew exactly what you meant.
I know he was never a skinny guy, but is it me or does it seem that he recently gained weight? Must be all that fastfood take out working late at Apple
Well you know - the camera adds 10 lbs...
Okay, technically right. I'm trying to differentiate it from being gold plated.
I think this is going to be much more expensive than $1,200. That seems laughable. Why release a gold edition if you aren't going to get incredible margins off of it?
This website sells Mobiado feature phones at 2000 + Euros.
Its nice that they're giving Apple the time of day, maybe cashing in on the high news of the time. But seriously, these high fashion people (I'm guessing here of course) don't want some riffraff common phone that you can buy at your local appliance store, and the watch isn't autonomous, you need an iPhone.
This, will be short lived in the fashionista domain.
Apple isn't exclusive, Apple is a commodity.

Oh, please.. It's my personal opinion, expressed in non native language, and states that I dont't like the way things are turning at this moment at Apple.I may be nostalgic or old-fashioned (pardon the joke) but I liked good old times more than I like Apple now. And the trillion dollars pile they're sitting on it's theirs, not mine. So my life may be better with better Apple products, not with richer Apple bank accounts. And as the argument is "personal taste", reflects my freedom to choose whether to wear purple trousers, green shoes paired with a yellow jacket or not.Oh please.

Bloodyell Jony, get a decent shirt that fits and iron it, man! I can see you concentrated on flattening the collar but forgot the creases and short length. Too many fashion lunches?
I love your watch idea but for clothes you need a guru to help you, like Steve got himself!

I try not to say mean things about people, but I thought people dressed like Anna Wintour only showed up in sitcoms like Ugly Betty, not actually in Real Life.
Yikes! And sunglasses indoors? Seriously? Is she trying to be a caricature of herself? It's just so ... impractical.
I am so unfashionable.
Edit: On a positive note, it makes me happy that Marc Newson looks like he didn't even sort of try. Awesome.
