It’s so hard to know who to believe. The reliable and protest supply chain experts, or the random nobodies in Macrumors.
 
I wonder which trading companies banked on these two BS articles just a few days apart.

It's shameful that sites like this still don't realize they're being used by stock market sharks that are still doing this market manipulation. I suggest you watch this in its entirety, and listen especially carefully at 3:35 when the iPhone was first coming out in 2007.

I call BS on this whole saga.
It never was BS so much as delayed info. There was probably a problem over the summer. Some dope heard about it and makes it a story like the sky is falling. The problem was probably fixed WEEKS or possibly months ago.
 
Does anyone buy an Apple watch without trying it in-store?
I imagine many people buy an Apple Watch without actually trying one on.
But that's an interesting question.

I read previously that some watches were produced in this ill-fated first batch. I certainly don't want to buy straight away if that's the case. If it's even true... or any of that is actually true. Who knows!

We'll probably never know for sure, but it's not terribly uncommon to have issues that temporarily pause mass-production of a product, particularly a complex product. Apple is likely to have more than their share of such issues because of their very tight production timelines relative to the scale involved. So "call BS" if you want, but it wouldn't be terribly surprising here.

What do you want to try it for? At best, I would expect that someone could want to see it in person. Or maybe try watch band sizes. But actually trying the watch itself? Perhaps first timers. Upgraders already know what to expect and which size looks best on their wrist.
 
"Specifically, the new more durable display panel uses a contact design instead of the old cable design, and also requires a low injection pressure overmolding (LIPO) process for the first time."

Does that mean we're going to have to use LIPOsuction to repair it now?

(Only half joking. How much worse is this going to make repair?)
