Ive on Apple Watch: One of the Most Difficult Projects I've Ever Worked On

I'm looking for the collective meltdown when the price of that gold version is announced. Anyone that knows anything about gold, especially 18k gold, knows that that things is going to be a horrendous price.
YIKES!!
That's the first time I've seen pics of the 360 in use.
You are correct sir, that is truly horrendous.
Infighting within Apple is what famously set them apart in the past... If they turn into a bunch of yes-men, innovation dies and they follow the path to tech purgatory that Sony has a head-start on.
Bring back Forstall!! Do it... For the children.
Yes sure. That's why Maps went so flawlessly and the iPhone/Mac design was getting more simple and the software more complicated.
Ive is a great designer, but to discount Steve's influence on Apple product design is to not know what you are talking about.
Steve would send Jony back to the drawing board (it's documented he did so with the iPhone) if he didn't like what Jony did.
Now that he's not there, we can clearly and objectively look at Apple products "before and after Steve", as it were.
I for one am not happy at all with ANYTHING after Steve. Being a good performer is not the same as being a good leader.
How is this cut off in the corners?
Obviously you won't get the answer from a single screenshot. See https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/19703849/
The guy works for a company with essentially unlimited amounts of money, unlimited number of test models allowed, no time limits, and almost nobody to say no to him.
It doesn't get much less constrained than that.
I used to come here to read intelligent comments and discussion. Now I just read the article and skip the comments. This place is degrading fast.
That's a software issue. If Apple came out with a round Apple Watch, you're saying you'd expect similar design flaws?
So you quote me some unverified thread from an apple fan in macrumors?
Show me a screenshot that shows the moto 360 cutting the text off. Go ahead. I'll wait here.
thats the only angle that UFO looks half-way decent. here are the real shots, which show what an absurdity it is:
Shows me the date and time. What else do you want it to do?
The apple watch just shows you notifications. I don't need to spend another $400 to look at my notifications. I can just take out my phone when I want to deal with my messages.
Never say never. In a few years, if Apple a Watch becomes a standalone device, I can easily see it becoming my main device and a small screen or tablet being the companion device. Not unlike my iPhone and iPad combo today. Further out, pico projectors, holographic displays or companion glasses could eliminate the need for a separate display altogether.
Also remember that Siri's capabilities will grow by leaps and bounds, further eliminating the need for a traditional smartphone in many instances.

Exactly. My Walkman does the same thing as the iPod for a fraction of the price. Besides, who listens to a thousand songs in one sitting anyway?

Imagine how people here a lot longer than you feel . . .
Thats the issue with this watch. They made it too difficult. Completely opposite from what iPhones/iOS stand for. He needs to head back to the drawing board with this thing before final product is released. If you need to zoom in on a super small screen when you have a phone in your pocket why not just whip out the bigger phone instead of turning a little dial? A watch should be click and scroll for notifications or action items. When you add zoom its a fail. And you got 2 buttons on the side to add more confusion.
Never seen a product that hooked me in for the first minute but completely lost me at the end.

"What can an iPad do the iPhone can't? It's just a big iPhone."
Capabilities and features aren't the only thing that matters. Like most Apple products, it's about the experience.
How do we know that Steve didn't come up with stuff that was rejected? Remember he didn't want video on iPods, didn't want to bring iPods to Windows, didn't support an App Store for iPhone, didn't support a smaller iPad. He wasn't always right.
So was the original iPhone, and the original iPod, and the original iMac... the list continues...
