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

Why would it affect lefties?

Can't you just turn the watch upside down and flip the strap?

Doesn't it have a rotating screen?


Wouldn't that be an insanely huge oversight if it didn't?

Yes, but this watch is butt ugly. Sure, you can change the digital face. But any watch aficionado will scoff at this. And so will others once you see this display in bright sunlight. Only the tools of the world will buy this.

See.....now you've crossed over into the world of the subjective.

Seriously people? The AppleWatch is the most exciting thing they have come out with since original iPhone. This thing blows me away, exceeds my expectations by 10x. How do you not like this? Incredible. Take my money now.

How does it blow you away? You don't need a fat brick on your wrist to communicate with your phone... just reach into your pocket.
 
Why in the world is the base model still 16gb if the mid storage option is 64gb? And seriously apple is sticking with the 8 megapixel camera? I was hyped about getting an iphone 6 but now I'm not too sure. Apple really needs to stop skimping on the hardware. They have fallen behind way behind other smartphone companies now. I wasn't expecting such such sub par updates from apple like this.
 
nice he mentioned Walkie Talkie capability

that's the only thing i care about for mountain biking. well that and Maps/GPS

Says it needs the iPhone... but not which model. ie. does it work with a 5S?

Like the idea of having it as a viewfinder screen for the iphone camera.

[Edit: he's just said 5S]

5, 5c, 5s, 6, 6 Plus.

Sorry iPhone 4 and 4S, you gotta upgrade to a shiny new iphone than shelling out $350 before you can use the Apple Watch.:mad:

Sound quality over current (4.0+) Bluetooth is fine. I design award-winning Hi-Fi speakers for a living and I think that market is rapidly dying, Bluetooth is where all the business is.

Just because the average consumer can't tell the difference doesn't mean everyone will follow that herd. You're right that's where all the business is but as a designer of award-winning Hi-fi speakers, I have to question your judgment if you think Bluetooth is fine.
 
The :apple: Watch is priced starting at $349. Seriously? I literally laughed out loud when I heard that. Good luck selling them at that price, Apple.
 
I am deep into the apple eco system. Had nothing but iPhones since iPhone 3G.

The apple watch had much less sensors than I expected, this is seriously just "fashion crap" that has no functionality that I want.

I wanted a medical watch that could give me blood pressure, heart rate and such rather than what we have here.

I hate Samsung like most people because they have a disgusting company culture, but tomorrow I will go and check other options. I tried WP once and it sucks incredibly... Android sucks too.. but maybe I can learn to like it over time?

I knew this day would come when S passed away... but it still hurts... :(

it's so over personalized that it's almost a burden to use - I'm watching this guy give the demo and it's almost tiring to follow

who the hell has the time to do all of this **** on their wrist

Yeh and why would people want to do all this on a small interface when they can do all that stuff on your iPhone, iPod and iPad.

The iWatch, sorry the Apple Watch, is turning out to be just another version of the iPod Nano for your wrist.
I was hoping for a phone watch, or at least wifi.
What good is a watch that doesnt have a speaker. How can you set an alarm? Pffft!!
