U2 nice!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Finally. What we've all been waiting for! Give me the goods, Bono!

 

[PSYGN]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO~

 

[Antiwhippy]

Why the fuck should I care about U2 performing?

 

[Squalor]

U2?

FUCK THIS! I'M GONE.

U2 is ass.

 

[D4Danger]

Dr Dre is a board member and you close with U2?

c'mon

 

[Exile20]

Apple is a religion.

cult

 

[friskykillface]

I had the U2 special edition ipod, then the ipod mini was announced lol

smh

 

[helloresolven]

I'm not sure if people are serious when they say it costs more than an iPhone? Are you guys serious?

Your watch isn't subsidized with a two year contract...

 

[Fantomex]

Basically, dudes that I know that wear watches are usually rocking 3-4 different watches ranging from $100 - $1000. They know the market.

 

[Deadstar]

Wait what....they are killing the ipod classic? That's the best way to play music in the car.

 

[Sky Chief]

You people are missing the point. Apple lovers lap this crap up. And its a luxury product, thus the price.

A luxury product!? As opposed to an actual watch? And it is just ugly as hell, probably the worst looking smartwatch I have seen released this year (in particular the hideous UI)>

 

[Riddler]

Thanks to the beta testers who buy this first.

See you in 2016.

Truth, but some people love buying the brand new.

 

[Social]

I'm not sure if people are serious when they say it costs more than an iPhone? Are you guys serious?

when you get it an iPhone in the US on contract, yes

 

[Junior Mint]

U2 perfect for that 40+ demo Apple seems to be going for nowadays

 

[LordOfChaos]

A decent Timex runs 150-200 and people y'all are balking at 350?

It's more about how the Moto 360 runs 250...

 

[Alienous]

"U2 has agreed to perform for U 2day"

Boooooo! Get off the stage.

 

[HooYaH]

Why do people think that $350 is expensive?

People better get ready for the defacto price standard.

 

[bobawesome]

Yeah...I think now is a good time for me to take my leave.

 

[kaskade]

350 is less than I was expecting. I'm excited. At least I have a chance to save up.

 

[jamesinclair]

Its the Apple TV of 2014

 

[Hasney]

I do like how there was less of a pop for U2 than there was for a dude drawing a fish on a watch. Onward to Destiny!

Still interested in the 6+. Just depends on UK pricing on contract comparable to the Z3/Z4.

 

[Vandiger]

I think there are a couple of neat ideas with the watch, $350 could be value or overhyped. Depends on the apps I guess

 

[SirMossyBloke]

OK, U2 is on so stream over for me

 

[Certinty]

No one can call the Vita an overpriced accessory now.

 

[The Elite]

I like U2 but I don't need this.

If that's it for actual announcements I think I'm done.

 

[ladyluthien]

Ouch, starting at $349. Yep, I'm going to pass on it. I don't care for the design at all, the smaller size still doesn't seem suitable enough for me. It's too large and bulky.

 

[Zeppu]

You can tell Apple is an amazing company when they say $349 and the audience starts clapping.

 

[Raistlin]

"Why am I here?"

"What have I become?"

 

[Technosteve]

i don't think 350 is a lot, but i also don't see it as a luxury device

Shots fired.

 

[Interframe]

The reactions of the price in this thread are hilarious.

1. Its an Apple product, what the hell were you expecting?

2. Its going to easily become the best selling smart-watch and destroy Samsung and Motorola (if Motorola Mobility even survives as a company).

 

[jelly]

Microsoft, whatever you do, nothing like the Android Wear or Apple Watch. More like a large cuff bracelet.

 

[Trey]

It's not subsidized. Did anyone expect 200 or something?

For its utility 350 is a steep price.

2. Its going to easily become the best selling smart-watch and destroy Samsung and Motorola (if Motorola Mobility even survives as a company).

Is this why Apple has been playing catch up on phone size and wearables?

 

[blackaroni]

Gwen and Dre are in attendance and U2 performs. Sad.

 

[jett]

U2 coming out to perform their stilted, has-been, warmed-over shit is the perfect end to this conference.

 

[Faith]

here you go

10 hours with display on? That has to be a joke. 4 hours is the best case scenario.

 

[The Real Abed]

Apple is a religion.

cult

You're both right. They're exactly the same.

Wait..

 

[EroticSushi]

Worries me that they didn't even bother talking about the Watches battery life.

 

[infiniteloop]

wow u2 miming yay

 

[lexi]

Thanks to the beta testers who buy this first.

See you in 2016.

Pretty much, I'm excited about the future of this device, but I'm fairly sure I'm waiting till Revision 2.

 

[sweetvar26]

So new no Ipad announced?

I think that will be at the Mac/iPad event in November.

 

[Two Words]

Anybody else feel like just buying a regular old watch now?

 

[Phreaker]

Is it over? My Internet went out and just got back on the stream.

 

[Backfoggen]

Good feedback.

 

[Pillville]

why are people cheering for u2

is it 2004 1984?

fixed.

 

[entremet]

Dr Dre is a board member and you close with U2?

c'mon

Dre stil raps?

 

[victreeb3l]

I need the chinese translator back now

 

[JacksUsername]

Was interested in the watch mostly for the fitness apps, and if it were $200-250, I probably would have dived into the Apple eco-system.

But starting at 350? Not going to happen.

 

[T.O.P]

Has the 6 presentation been uploaded anywhere?

i totally missed it
