iPhone/Apple Watch thoughts:
iPhones:
super-sized one is too big.
fantastic price point (though I'm not sure how much the total buy-in is after contract?)
Glad they upped the mid-level to 64gb
fer crying out loud.... go thicker (or keep the same thickness) for better battery!
I like ApplePay features but I'd need to live with it to see if I like it enough.
Not sure of security or changing habits to stop with the physical cards.
Apple Watch
want. Seriously. I just worry about durability. My $35 Ironman is trashed
LOVE the ability to control thermostat. More home automation stuff soon?
can't wait to see it three or four generations from now
really can't wait to see what developers come up with (one of the Twit hosts said "a whooole lot of millionaire developers just got made". Yup
Think the u.i. is probably as good as can be expected from a Gen1 device considering the realestate they have to work with (and the fact that R&D was probably, what, 50 million dollars?)
TAP is really cool.
Offloading all that nifty info to your wrist is way cool. Also a theft magnet. They really need to lock it somehow (to a phone? Biometric?) to make it less appealing to thieves.
Interesting that the current young generation that has gotten used to not wearing watches is suddenly going to start wearing (much more functional versions) again.
Thoughts?
