To each his own. The UI and that live demo of it sold me hard. Price pulled me back though. Might wait till 2nd gen to get one.

Yeah I'll prob wait for the thinner lighter 2nd gen. Fitbit might be in trouble though

 

[sixteen-bit]

Is U2 really that big of a draw anymore?

over 50 crowd loves 'em

 

[victreeb3l]

My god is this U2 thing relaly that big of a deal

Do they really move that many units

 

[celebi23]

If you go into your "Purchased section" in iTunes, you'll see the free U2 album.

 

[studyguy]

U2 and Apple right now.

 

[Raistlin]

"Why are we still here? Just to suffer?"

lol

[Alienous]

"That just happened"

Did it? Did it really? I wasn't sure.

Holy shit.

 

[FuturusX]

For all the Apple observers, this is the first post Jobs 'new' product. If it sells...the only measure that counts it seems. The hand over will be deemed a success.

 

[CastleBravo]

Wait. How is this the largest album release of all time? Because it's released on iTunes? Doesn't that make every album that ever releases on iTunes exactly the same?

Confused.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Can I get Detox instead of U2′s new album for free on iTunes?

 

[Avixph]

This is bullshit man. I want ipone6 but I still got a year on my contract.

Buy off contract it's not like you can't afford it.

 

[DedValve]

No one fucking cares about a free U2 album. Everyone in the modern world listens to whatever they want for free on Youtube already.

right...youtube, thats what I use as it's the legal way!

*apple watch reveals my fast beating heart*

 

[AstroNut325]

ApplePay
AppleWatch

I guess the iEra is over.

It started with the AppleTV.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Is the note 4 still expected to be larger than 6 plus?

Its 5.7. barely noticeable because they are finally improving on the bezel front.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Its the fact I own several watches that cost more than $350 that I find the pricing ridiculous.

$350 can you buy you alot in quailty watch these days.

For sure. I'm definitely not defending the price for this thing, but I'm surprised that some people here believed it would be lower than a decent watch. It's Apple, and it's new.
It was going to be pricy.

Jeez. Those are awful pictures. Really not flattering.

 

[Technosteve]

Why cant I get the next Kanye for free tho

there is always next year

 

[Plasmid]

Apple can claim they made the biggest album release but they definitely don't care about the quality of the biggest album release

 

[victreeb3l]

U2 and Apple right now.

that pic is so fucking hilarious lol

 

[WaffleTaco]

Can I get Detox instead of U2′s new album for free on iTunes?

lol like that is ever coming

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Buy off contract it's not like you can't afford it.

800 dollars for a phone?

 

[dc89]

lol

--

Anyone want to guess how much the solid 18ct gold watch will cost!?
£1000?

 

[Backfoggen]

Can I get Detox instead of U2′s new album for free on iTunes?

Not until iPhone 14.

 

[CharminUltra]

Tomorrow is just another day.

That you will never forget.

 

[soundahfekz]

I feel like the people complaining about the price haven't ever bought a watch that was more than $100.
It's also an Apple product. Come on, guys.

Also, did they announce the release date for the iPhone 6?

Thing is, you don't know shit about the people complaining about the watch price. $350 is a lot to pay for a watch that looks like it should've been paired with the atomic car concept.

 

[f@luS]

No phone price off contract ? Wtf

 

[TUSR]

I skipped out on the remaineder of the Watch announcement.

Can't we text on this thing without speaking to it? Communication with devices still seems unnatural to me.

 

[Tobor]

I'm so excited for Apple Pay. It's exactly what I wanted it to be.

 

[Cavalier]

More than 70% of the audience is from Apple. No wonder they were giving standing ovation to hideous Apple Watch.

 

[EviLore]

No NeoGAF shoutout?

 

[zeroOman]

DAVID PIERCE11:59:11 AM PDT
There are a LOT of Apple employees here, and they all got seats in front of me. That ain't cool.
DAVID PIERCE11:58:43 AM PDT
We're really wrapping up now. Cook's thanking the Apple employees, who fill about half the room. He asks them to stand, and they cheer like crazy for one another.

damn wtf

 

[NYR]

Was..was that Chris Martin in the front row???

 

[Hatty]

I'm so angry right now
I'm angry about electronics

 

[dark_chris]

No NeoGAF shoutout?

Hahaha!

 

[Emerson]

The phone isn't cheaper than the watch. You need to be on a contract to get it for 'cheaper' up front. You're paying a lot of money for that phone.

We're talking about a mass market product and nobody in that world gives a shit what the iPhone actually costs. As far as 98% of people who've ever bought an iPhone are concerned, it costs 200 dollars. This watch costs nearly twice that.

 

[helloresolven]

No phone price off contract ? Wtf

Look at the 5S off contract prices for the 6. Add $100 for the 6+. It's not difficult.

 

[blackaroni]

It sucks there are not 32GB options. I really don't want a 64GB phone.

 

[Two Words]

Needing to charge it nightly kills one of the best possible features of this device. If you could wear it to sleep, you could have it silently wake you up and not disturb your significant other. Plus, being woken up physically instead of startling noises is a lot nicer. It could have also monitored your sleeping patterns for health purposes.

 

[Alienous]

Has Apple gone insane?

 

[PaulExcellent]

Thing is, you don't know shit about the people complaining about the watch price. $350 is a lot to pay for a watch that looks like it should've been paired with the atomic car concept.

Do I need to know them?
What?

 

[Avixph]

800 dollars for a phone?

Don't you pay like $400 for pants?

 

[fuzzyset]

For all the Apple observers, this is the first post Jobs 'new' product. If it sells...the only measure that counts it seems. The hand over will be deemed a success.

Also the dropping of the 'i' product naming, which was definitely a Jobs-ian thing. iMac, iPod, etc.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

iOS 8 GM to developers please.

 

[victreeb3l]

Thats was pretty solid. Eager to hear impressions of Apple Watch

Streams first 20 minutes were horrendous though.

 

[Dany]

iOS 8 GM to developers please.

same.

So is the iPhone 6 page...

Or was that already unveiled? Looks a whole lot like an iPhone.

 

[hitsugi]

Everything as expected. OIS will likely be in the 4.7 version of the 6s in a year. Probably a ram upgrade as well if it's not in the current one. I'm ready to switch from my Nexus 5. This is good enough.

 

[moggio]

Surely a free U2 album is a good way to discourage sales?

 

[jamesinclair]

It started with the AppleTV.

Are you saying any product that starts with "apple" will bomb, while any product that starts with "i" will be a massive success?


.....Because that might actually be true.
