This a joke or a stupid hate on apple.

hkgamer3470d ago

wealthy elites?

so a $400 - $800 watch is targeted to elites and not the average consumer?

2pacalypsenow3470d ago

average consumers dont buy $800 watches

Speed-Racer3470d ago

The Apple Watch is $350 I think.

Aloren3470d ago

average consumers don't really buy $350 watches either.

steven83r3470d ago

Well if you want the watch you have to spend $1200 as the watch doesn't work without the Phone which cost 800.

Sometimes Apple loses sight of what they think consumers want versus what we really want.

I was on the fence about the Iphone8 or the new Samsung but that new Galaxy is looking damn good right now... peace apple!

This is more Apple BS. When Apple launches a phone, they try to get as much sales as possible, even at the expense of their own customer base. A new iphone is released and suddenly your phone starts working like crap, obviously it makes the new iphone more appealing. They've been doing this since the original iphone. Funny how this isn't a problem for any other phone manufacturer.

I think it's more that continually evolving software updates bloat and eventually render the device sluggish. New code is written to take advantage of new hardware, at the expense of owners of the older models.

KingPin2310d ago

so then why even bother updating the older hardware if thats the case. i mean, its not like the older OS is not safe or unstable so why the need to update it. everything works just fine as is. ever heard if it aint broke.....

Corporation are for themself. Time for decentralization!
