What problems or complaints ARE people allowed to have?
It seems like a faction of the forum would prefer that everyone simply express joy and happiness with anything and everything Apple does...and all should pull out their credit card, pay uncle Tim and be quiet.
Are we customers or just subjects here to pay Apple for whatever they do?
These are watches.
You wear them on your wrist.
Other people see them on you
It is extremely legitimate to have strong opinions about the colors.
I think people simply like gatekeeping complaints where it doesn’t concern them. To be fair, colors by themselves are a more trivial issue than software bugs or hardware defects.
Personally, I think it shouldn’t matter whether the issue is “trivial” or not. Apple products are expensive, luxury, and fashionable, but the apple watch is literally
actual fashion—not merely a device—that people enjoy accessorizing with. If the colors don’t matter in fashion, then what does?
I don’t even dislike the midnight or starlight colors, but I’m also not much of a watch user.
It’s perfectly valid to be upset that the cheapest aluminum models don’t have the neutral silver and space gray options. I was upset that they replaced the silver color on the ipad mini because I love silver and it would be super easy to match with different case colors.
This is especially true with the apple watch and the numerous bands. The bands are fashion. Matching the bands, for many, are an important part of the apple watch experience. Sure, lots of people on here don’t give a ****, but not everyone wants the watch to be purely utilitarian, and ofc, it’s great for the people who are satisfied with the new colors, but they could’ve easily had both silver/space gray and midnight/starlight.
And you’d (general you) be lying to your damn self if you think aesthetics aren’t a huge part of apple products.
