90% of you people need to fill your pockets with wrenches and just walk into the ocean. Bunch of self-entitled whining brats. If you spent 1/10 of your snark energy on actual productive, critical thought, MacRumors forums would be a lovely place. Like it used to be. Also get off my lawn.

Ooh, ooh, Me! Me!
I can tell Apple how they should be running their multi-billion dollar business! Highest share valuation ever you say? Ha!
Listen to this:
Why don't you get your Macintosh engineers making some Macintoshes instead of watch bands?
Yeah, that told em. Everybody, listen to me.

It is really strange why we can't sync more than one. It's also so slow and unreliable to sync music that I've stopped putting songs on my watch anyway. Would be nice if we had another option for music playback other than the built-in app.
"These innovative, ground breaking, revolutionary watch straps have taken years of research, development and precision engineering. We're really excited for you to see them. Can't innovate? My ass!"
"You really need to see these in person. They're totally stunning."
-Starting at £6,380 per half strap
Who cares about bands, Apple Watch needs to evolve a bit faster and incorporate many more health centric features for me to ever buy one, such as the rumored oximeter feature which never saw light of day...
Sure, they will sell literally THOUSANDS and be out of business by year end.
Valid points. But why isn't there an updated Mac Pro then? Clearly Apple has refocused their efforts, and THAT's the problem I have. The Apple Watch is fine, but why does Apple need to abandon other products in order to make it? That's what doesn't make sense to me. They have the resources to do both, so why aren't they doing it? It ticks me off.
I'm hanging out for the spring dongle refreshes !!!
That's how you maximise profits and peak stocks wise!!!

Exactly! And while we're at it, can't IBM go back to being an adding machine company!
Couldn't care less about the watch, I want an updated Macbook!
.... the Ron Paul "it's happening"
The very reason I came!
It's happening! Vibrant spring greens and easter egg pastels!!!
It's happening!!!

1. We can't say there is no MacPro updates because there is no RUMORS about it.
2. Every company is gonna prioritise on the high profit margin products.
I am happy with my own products and there is no use for me to cry over a company's decisions and actions, which I have no control of.
Bought an Apple Watch. It's cool, but has nothing on a classic watch. Something feels off about having a mini iPhone on the wrist, almost redundant. Back to the Rolexes and Omegas.
That first sentence is cracking me up. I'm gonna have to use that myself at some point.
1. It's been FOUR YEARS since the last Mac Pro update.
2. Maybe the reason Apple hasn't had high profit margins on the Mac Pro is because they haven't updated it in FOUR YEARS and nobody's stupid enough to buy OLD HARDWARE.
The problem is Apple, not that consumers aren't buying pro products. We WANT to buy their professional-end desktops, but can't because they won't freaking RELEASE them already. Instead they're focusing on overpriced watches. Ridiculous.
I think this "courageous" thing has been well worn out. Can't you guys come up with something new?A band refresh.... courageous!
Obviously this company is AMAZZZINGGGG... just look at it's stock price, end of story!!!

I 100% agree that Apple should be doing more for the Mac and its professional customers. Your criticism of them for not doing that is valid and important. I've been pretty critical of Tim and co. for that as well. I just get tired of people railing on the Watch because it isn't a Mac Pro (etc.) refresh. Apple is big enough now that no one is going to be interested in everything they are doing. And as you say, they have the resources to do many things.
Personally, I think Apple needs to reorganize into divisions, more like most large companies. A separate Mac division would be incentivized to try to increase its market share and its share of Apple's revenues. This, I think, would get you what you want, but without imperiling Apple's other products.
In the meantime, though, I'm going to enjoy my superb Apple Watch!
