Dyson Launches First Smartphone Connected Fan With Air Quality Monitoring and Scheduling Features

[Shirasaki]

the filter a) has a short life, and b) appears to be rated for smaller volumes of air exchange than my application demands.

For many more practical users, the less frequently filter is changed the better it will be. Aesthetic concern is often at the bottom of their wishlist for a product.
And yeah, we would generally not deny a product with a perfect mix of "function, aesthetics and price". I think I choose Apple product is because it has a great mix of all three points, although the product price is still too high.

In their defense though, their hand dryers are awesome.

Agreed, they are awesome, but there are also other brands which make similar designed hand dryers, they may have a license though, probably also quite a bit cheaper too.
You won't see any other brand make bladeless fans though, a German manufacturer did make them in the past, but they stopped making them.

Edit: I thought normal Dyson fans are expensive, these Dyson airblade hand dryers have even more ridiculous prices, €1100 while there are similar designs from other brands for half the price.

$500 and no HomeKit? Pass.

£700 for a Phone? It's only a phone. £700 way to pricey and only lasts a year!!!! No thanks I will stick with my Motorola 8800.

I think Apple iphones are a rip off price wise but people buy them!

Depends, for instance, the new iPhone SE price in the US is not bad at all, but here in Europe it's too much.
I agree with the 6 and 6S though.
