Live Coverage of Apple's September 2014 iPhone and iWatch Event [Event Over]

[mrgraff]

Almost every watch concept and rumor was wrong. Nice. And I'm glad to see it, too.

 

[ChazSch]

Is Cook starting to move away from the "i" branding? Apple Pay and Apple Watch, not iPay or iWatch.

surprised they stayed with iphone then

 

[Dekimasu]

OK, now put the phone in the watch so I don't need an iPhone. Here's what I really want to hear about: real-world battery life on the phone; DAC and jack quality on the phone.

I'm not convinced by the watch so far. Is it really an improvement over the iPod nano 6G for things I'd use it for?

Ooh, Jony Ive.

Apple Store is down

been down for over 5 hours

id like to see it for real. those are all pixar renders so far

 

[Rogifan]

Oh no the dreaded Jony Ive video.

 

[iLLUMI]

its just another watch

 

[Raid]

Digital crown... very similar concept to the Sony jog wheel circa 1998. I hope there still is a touch interface for opening apps.

 

[rovex]

Holy smokes, that watch could lose a few pounds in steel.

 

[sfwalter]

Although the watch is cool. I more interested in the 6 Plus at this point.

 

[GenesisST]

The difference is that with TouchID it is a lot more secure than PayPass or regular NFC. Someone who steals your phone can't just start charging left and right.

Agreed, but I was talking about the speed of the process.

 

[CedarPoint182]

So this watch can only be worn on the left hand?

 

[Medic311]

6 months from now when they release the real Apple Watch, this will become worthless

 

[Smartass]

now thats one ugly watch, Apple could learn a thing or two from Motorolla

 

[aberrero]

Sony invented the jog dial in the iPocketWatch 10 years ago

 

[ChazSch]

that watch will be going on and off if you drive a stick shift

 

[Oracle1729]

IR Diodes and sensors....Apple invented the Optical Encoder.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder#Optical_absolute_encoders.


I was using this tech before the first Mac came out.

 

[bmt134]

That looks stupid but Samsung will copy it anyway. Just watch.

Why would they, their smart watches are already better than this chunk of garbage.

 

[BMcCoy]

Question:
Does the crown actually rotate, or does it just detect your fingers moving around it, and interpret that as rotation?

 

[cwwilson]

I'm kinda intrigued by the watch.

 

[nnacrumors]

Oh no the dreaded Jony Ive video.

Right? I hate the way this guy talks like they just cured cancer

 

[centauratlas]

Now we just need two "Another One More things"...and updated Mac Mini and a 17 inch retina MBP.

 

[Jazper]

The Chinese woman is back! Oh wait, as I type this she went.

 

[MaloCS]

I was hoping for a replacement for my Nike Fuelband but this watch isn't it. Looks like I'll be upgrading my Fuelband with the current version. This watch is horrible, unless you're a metro sexual hipster that carries a man purse.

 

[yaxomoxay]

Wow, just wow.

 

[ChazSch]

this UI blows everything else Away!!!!!
