While there may be claims that Apple makes quality products as compared to other mobile competitors, Apple is now learning that anything they produce won't necessarily be a hit.
Introduced in iOS 17.1 and watchOS 10.1, NameDrop is a novel feature that facilitates the sharing of contact information between nearby iPhones and Apple Watches by holding them together.
The famous ChatGPT application for Apple Watch, Petey, became available for iPhone a couple of months ago.
The 'i' icon provides information, but it also has functionality. Here's what's to know.
Um It outsold all other android watches combined and that's a flop? This is more of an accessory, obviously it won't sell as much as their other products.
this device have to priced lower than 150...
499 it's really to much.. even for apple.
Listening to people defend the Apple watch is painful... they produce over-priced hardware with extremely rigid/limiting software.
"It just works" is not normally true. It doesn't just work. I've seen a plethora of Apple cult members sit me down to show me something cool (normally it's a feature that everyone already has that's been renamed by Apple) only to see it not work right.
Just the other day I was helping someone tether their iPhone to their MacBook pro, in the instructions provided by Apple there were 3 options - the final option was to simply plugin the iPhone to the MacBook via USB and "it just works!"... it did not work at all.
Had to install a 3rd party patch to use my Android for tethering.
Many of their products should've been flops, the Watch is only the first one that allowed their cult (errrr... fan?) base see through the blinders.
Hopefully this forces them to release a product as innovative as the iPod was (something I'll certainly give them full credit for). Otherwise, they could be facing a downslope as people realize that a premium price tag on a device that only looks cool is rarely worth it.
Function > Form... unless Apple's marketing/design team gets their hands on it!
Well this shows that Apple is lifestyle than people are choosing, they don't really care about the product but more about having apple as a brand to show off.Don't really care about the price-tag either it seems.
I wonder if Apple was called Pear would it still be this successful.
just my opinion by the way.
Think long term. The Apple watch is defining what it means to be a wearable. Style/fashion/branding all will be major bullets for the market. Heres what will happen, as per every other time Apple introduces untested tech.
Watch introduction, only decent market penetration for sales, but extremely broad knowledge and marketing.
Cheap knockoffs swing into action, ramping up sales, expanding the market.
Customers burned by their junk first smart watch look to what is marketed as the front runner of wearables. Apple.
Apple captures/stabilizes at 20-30% market share, but 80+% of the entire markets profit (as with Smart phones)
