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

[Illuminated]

A gold watch?!



Still won't buy it.

 

[ChazSch]

I am guessing 299

Apple watch = ipod nano with a strap!

I do have to hand it to Tim Cook though. He gets it. Where Steve Jobs just said no to almost everything (large phones, nfc etc) at least under Cook , Apple are at last moving with the times.

They may not be perfect but at least they (Apple) are moving forward.

People trash Samsung for not being more innovative...

Apple JUST NOW announced a larger than 5" screen.

Apple JUST NOW launches an SmartWatch.

Apple JUST NOW adds a 1080p display.

Apple JUST NOW adds NFC support.

Apple JUST NOW adds Wifi calling and 801AC support.



Any word Heart Rate monitors or water resistance?

btw- Nice touch to put the power button on the right side of the phone too. Never seen that before...

And the little knob thingy on the Applewatch... seriously?

Because being first is all that matters. Oh, and a long checklist of specs as well. Who needs a good experience, anyways?

I missed it how much for full retail iphone 6 64GB anybody?

Add $450.

 

[archer75]

3rd party apps on the watch?

 

[The-Author]

hey guys...

the iPhone 6 Plus is... $299/$399/$499 for 16GB/64GB/128GB and
the iPhone 6 starts at $199/$299/$399 with two-year contract.

But what do they cost without a contract? or will they only be available with a contract?

That's something I do not understand... and hope it'll also be available without a contract... because I cannot have a contract...

Thanks for info...

 

[kdarling]

Samsung and Google must be breathing sighs of relief right now.

And there'll be clones of the watch from HongKong on eBay by month's end.

 

[TsMkLg068426]

What an UGLY watch, what an UGLY phone, just... ugh, been an apple user since the first damn iPod and Im so irrationally angry right now.

Samsung, Android and Windows phones are fuglier fan boy.

 

[Medic311]

18K gold Apple Watch

hahaha

 

[BenTrovato]

I couldn't care less about the watch but it annoys the hell out of me that it isn't called "iWatch"

iWatch is better... so is iPay instead of Apple Pay

 

[ChazSch]

Seriously, I'm def going with the Moto360 the Apple Watch is hideous.

let us know how that works out for you

 

[Anitramane]

that's an ugly watch. moto360 runs circles around this in terms of looks.

Runs circles around it? Because the moto360 is actually a round display? ;-)

 

[knightlie]

Video stream is a joke, I just got Japanese dubbing and I can't play more then ten seconds at a time.

Nice watch though.

 

[Vodka]

iWatch is a hit!!

 

[nnacrumors]

Ugh, finally! Get the **** off my screen Ive!

 

[bushido]

3rd party apps on the watch?

ja i saw twitter, facebook for example

 

[KPOM]

the watch looks like crap to me.

chunky, inelegant, embarrassing.

the digital crown is dumb - wouldn't a touch surface work better?

maybe I'll change my mind once I see it but not impressed.

Not for a watch designed for a woman. This gives them the flexibility to go even smaller with future versions.

 

[damitssam]

iWatch pricing for that 18k gold - im guessing $499

 

[iWe]

I'll be very surprised if this watch isn't going to be a big commercial disappointment for Apple. That said I haven't personally fondled one yet but still... a new iPod, iPhone or iPad it ain't.

 

[orioncrystalice]

so I guess I'm the only one here who thinks the watch looks cool, but doesn't honestly care a lot about the 6 or 6 +.............. so far, WWDC blows this out of the water..

 

[thejadedmonkey]

btw- Nice touch to put the power button on the right side of the phone too. Never seen that before...

Most Nokia's have the power button on the right. It's nothing new for a cellphone, just for the iPhone.

 

[abshole765]

Curious about battery & if it can be used without iPhone.

 

[Moof1904]

Horrible streaming. Really messed up the presentation, very disappointed.

Agreed. Every time the playback pauses and I try to restart it, the video returns to the beginning of the segment.

If I hear "There's a new keyboard, with QuickType" one more time I'm going to scream.

Agreed. Apple's gone down the plughole.

Samsung and Sony have taken the innovation lead.
