Live Coverage of Apple's March 2015 'Spring Forward' Event

[cdm283813]

Pretty much everything you can do on the watch seems more complicated and frustrating than just using the iPhone. Being linked to the iPhone all the time makes it even more ridiculous. The first major Apple product I've seen as just a toy.

Dude, I was going to post the same thing and your comment happens to be the first I looked at. I'm thinking to myself why not whip out the phone you already have in your pocket; the one with the bigger screen.
I have a LG smartwatch but I only use it to receive quick and simple notifications. It works fine for that purpose. But any more than that it becomes more efficient to whip out the phone with a 5.7" display.

Just because you guys can't say aluminium it does not mean that the rest of the world has to suffer.

How to you spell Aluminium with a british accent..

This is turning into a parody of themselves.

This is where U2 comes in.

Yeah that's ridiculous, it should start at $99.

At that price I might be tempted to get a used one in a few months just to try it out.

The highlight so far has been the MacBook updates.

Give Jony Ive some presenting lessons, and maybe we won't need to see them anymore.

WHen is stainless steel no longer stainles steel?

when it's Stainless steel of course!

 

[thadoggfather]

with the insane pricing (but justified I suppose in the realm of luxury watches, etc) bound to be announced for the more premium models, they should allow the computer/screen components to be swappable.

I just can't see people rationally spending 3k on a watch that will have planned obsolescence in maybe even a year.

People don't buy rolexes and concern themselves with "keeping up with hardware" to do its job.

Granted, watch does a lot more than tell time, but still.

Anyone else consider this?

edit: 1049-1099 for top end steel, yep.

The videos are better than the rehearsed and awkward exchanges, or the guy fiddling with his glasses and opening garage doors.

 

[Irock619]

I suspect I'm getting the Sport. Because this steel is probably going to be more than $500.

Can't believe you're still considering getting one

 

[Reds622]

Just you wait until they get to the GOLD portion of the show!!!!

I bet they don't announce the price of the gold one...

The audience would gasp.

"Aluminum is 60% stronger than..." So basically, the aluminum they are using is actually aircraft grade aluminum? All of their aluminum used in their phones and computers are basically bottom-tier grade. Looks like they are finally catching up with the times and matching other brand's quality materials (iPhone/computers are 6004 which is basically scrap-grade while other phones/smartwatches are 6011-6014).

Jony Ive must be working overtime this year

 

[Bacchus1]

John Ives is such a bore. Apple is all about investment now. Some innovation is there, but it is all board investment board approved. I miss Jobs.

 

[TheDeviceUser]

$549 for 38mm Steel
$599 for 42mm Steel

 

[Neepman]

There better be a special place in hell for the flak that brought the word "curated" back into the world.

 

[kdarling]

My feed locked up for a few minutes.

Did I miss the video about how the synthetic rubber straps are made?

Because apparently they're going to show us reruns of "How It's Made" from the History Channel all day.

 

[Icaras]

Looks like I'll be getting the 38mm Sports watch.

How to you spell Aluminium with a british accent..
