When will apple have an iwatch with a curved glass? Oh wait, samsung already does.
- grossinteliboy
- the curve glass improves what function exactly?********
- and thin.fadein11
- No "normal" watch that I've ever owned has had a curved glass face. It's unnecessary and solves no user need.kona
- this watch was also considered a relative failuremonospaced
- Wow, you really got Apple there. Curved glass... woohoo!iCanHazQBN
- A "normal" watch has cogs, which don't function well when curved. :prosem
- I gotta say, I find that Samsung (*spit*) piece a lot more practical-looking than the iWatchdetritus

- If you can't make it...buy it. Yet another Apple innovation.utopian
- As if acquiring tech companies was unique in any way.monospaced
- Samsung acquired LoopPay to compete with Apple Pay, SmartThings to compete with HomeKit, and many more. Are they also not innovating?monospaced
- ^ Apple have enough money to innovate inhouse - alas they don't have the talentfadein11
- They have the talent now though. ;) I'm not sure why you say they can't. It's infinitely easier to incorporate than have to do the work over again and "steal."monospaced
- of course mono... sorry. just still waiting for an innovative and market changing and/or creating product... zilch since jobsfadein11
- Also why would you expect Apple to do all the R&D on photography lenses when there are other companies that excel? Nobody else really does.monospaced
- I mean what happened to Apple TV - what a crock of shit... bought an Amazon Fire Stick for £20... kicks Apple TV's butt and its a tiny dongle. far superior.fadein11
- I agree mono - like I say, still waiting for an innovative productfadein11
- catch up on the phablet and even the normal sized iphone... was like miniscule... they held on to their miniscule screen for years - then realised - whoops...fadein11
- ... a bigger screen on phones is better and more useful and people like them, oooh better catch up 3 years later lol. all they have at mo is bulld quality and..fadein11
- design.fadein11
- You could equally argue that Samsung simply ripped off the iphone and didn't innovate either. a $1B settlement backs it up.monospaced
- I mean, why expect apple to do all the innovating? The competition really just copied too and added bigger screens.monospaced
- I have the Apple TV and the Fire Stick. I can't understand how you'd say the Stick is better though. :/monospaced
- also, I prefer the smaller screens... my new iPhone 6 is uncomfortable to use with one hand, so bigger screens I think wasn't unanimousmonospaced
- but you're right, Steve personally innovated a new product every Tuesday, right after tea. LOLmonospaced
- You should get an apple logo on your twatpinkfloyd
- Because you want Apple to innovate SO MUCH for your own pleasure. Like they own you something.benfal99
- I'm tired of people whining about Apple like they own them something, Apple isn't your mom, they do what they want and you buy their stuff if you want.benfal99
- Apple is not a God. It's a business selling stuff. End of the story. They own you nothing. You own them nothing.benfal99
- I'M SO ANGRRRY!!!!
;-)benfal99 - actually, i'm so hungrybenfal99
- I don't care. @mono - so you have an iPhone6??? time to quit telling people you only own an old iPhone then.fadein11
- I literally just upgraded my 4S to a 6 after years. I am not a liar, I have always said I had a computer too, just like all of you.monospaced
- okay... back to the Firestick... its better because: 1.controller is way better. 2. interface is easier. 3. it has better apps such as plex and iplayer.fadein11
- 4. amazon rentals are cheaper and prime has slightly better free moviews than netflix.fadein11
- 5. its £20 and tiny.fadein11
- 6. it hasn't claimed to be a revolution and a life changing experience - just quietly and cheaply does the job.fadein11
- ^ what benfal said. no-one else bloody complains about other companies not innovating even though they do a minuscule amount compared to apple.inteliboy
- "boo hoo, apple don't innovate, apple are doomed, apple are this and that and this" fuck me it's endless.inteliboy
- i'm also hungryinteliboy
- lol - just said Apple TV is shit - allowed an opinion. Its useless.fadein11

- Personally I think it's great to see a designer elevated to such a level vs. just the CEO/COO/etc.formed

Anyone here demo the watch yet? How does it look/feel? I really like the mid level watch, with the link bracelet. Looks sharp. Too bad its a friggin grand smh.
- formed0
I did. It looks "cool", but it's really thick, screen is super tiny. It's "fun" to scroll through things (the wheel was smart). Fit and finish are what you would expect from Apple (and I'd guess a huge up from Android's designs....just looked at the Fitbit watch, design is nice, but fit/finish is horrible).
So like most are saying, it's a toy now. Way too big/thick for anything I'd wear and the screen is too small for being useful (it really isn't easy touching it, just too small). 2-3 generations later, when they have one with GPS, good battery life, etc., I'll look again.
For now, I'd like the MS band if it were a nicer design (it has GPS, good battery life and only does what I want, which is fitness stuff, I could careless about notifications or "apps").
My 2 cents. I still think anyone that wears one will look like a tool (at best, a fanboy at worse).

The iPhone 6 Plus doesn't look as huge in person as it is portrayed to be on web sites and in photos.
Hmm...
- Might be a good option after all, especially if I want longer battery life and a great camera.Jaline
- Just don't update to IOS 8.3. Battery drains so fast!ok_not_ok
- Yeah, it really doesn't look that huge these days, I was surprised when I first saw itformed
- The battery on my galaxy note 4 last forever, love it.pinkfloyd
- you're trying to convince yourself Jaline? :)benfal99
- Can't use it with one hand.monospaced
- I normally don't use my phone with one hand right now because it's slippery and I'm not a huge fan of cases.Jaline
- Plus, I never keep it in my pocket because women's pants are horrible for that sort of thing. Small, useless pockets.Jaline
- I don't trust bloated Samsung phones enough to purchase. I know lots of people with them and have tried them out. I would consider the next OnePlus phone too.Jaline
- ^^^^There's a one hand mode on the galaxy.pinkfloyd
- they are all nice, just at little different. A One Plus Two is coming out soon, I thinkformed
- I got a 6 plus last year, I don't even touch my iPad and I'm reading a lot more than I use to.rosem
- Was about to say if you keep it in your bad rather than pocket then it'll be fine. I had the HTC one Max, same size, and loved everything apart from it half han********
- Half hanging out of my pocket... *********
- there is no phone or tablet right now that could replace my 6+.arne
- All good to know!Jaline
- Just upgraded to 6plus and as Rosem said it is a great way to engage with certain types of media. iPhone 4 and 5 screen sizes seem so small now.wordssssss

I really want a smaller iPhone.

- cannot understand why anyone would want a screen that small.fadein11

- No way. 6plus is where it's at.wordssssss
- I prefer the small screen because I like using it with one hand, and it fits nicer in my front pocketmonospaced
- I prefer technology to be more conspicuous, not so in your face bigmonospaced
- Rumors are there will be a 3rd size (smaller) next yearformed
- I'd love the form of the 6, but smaller, too...so there's a marketformed
- Smaller than the 5! I hate having a big heavy phone in my pocket, and I don't take a bag everywhere. I don't stare at it all day and don't need a big screen.nb
- I agree too... I went from the 4S to the 6 and kinda like the 4S size mroe.monospaced
- I liked the size of my 4s better no doubt but could not go back. My GF's 5 looks like a joke to me now.HAYZ1LLLA
- I also want a smaller one. I want the sony ericsson t29s minus antenna form, size, just with an iphone inside.uan
- Get an older 1, donemoldero
- I have a 4. I like it, but it's getting slow. I'll buy a 5s when they get discontinued so that I can have the latest/smallest option as long as possible.nb
- Unless Apple puts out something smaller than the 5s first, I'll get that.nb
- All I do on my iPhone 4 is listen to music and LOL as I don't answer any of my calls. This thing is perfect for me :)moldero
- I think the point is when you have a bigger screen you do lots of things with it you didn't before. I.E. I never use a tablet.fadein11
- Exactly, I found I never needed a tablet. And I use a Kindle for lengthy reading.Jaline
- Yep, a large phone means you don't need a tablet. I want a tiny iPhone for every day use and the option of bringing my tablet with me for web use.nb
- My GalaxyS5 has a one handed option. I dig it.sea_sea

How does the watch face turning on and off work? I know that it apparently turns on when you lift your arm, but say youre just sitting at your desk and want to look at the time, but just turn your wrist instead of lifting your arm, will it still turn on? Confused by how the face turning on/off work.
- The reviews say that it kind of works, but fails for certain scenarios. It is also slow (2-3 seconds) to turn on.inv

Off topic but when you swipe all the way left in mail on my iPhone, and the thread/mail selected disappears. Where does it go? It's not in the Trash and it's not Archived.
- mine go to the Trashmonospaced
- I have to double check my preferences. It's not in the trash or archived... it's just gone. so weird.bklyndroobeki

Forget what I said up there ^
I went with the regular-sized 6. Stood in the store and really thought about it for a while before deciding. I think it's perfect. Similar to the screen size of the HTC One and not too small.
- < Agreed. I have both the 6 and 6+ and the 6+ is stupid big to me. The only thing I use it for is watching movies on the train ride in streaming it on my...kona
- ... companies dime. 5gbs goes by quick. I have little tiny baby hands too so the 6 fits better.kona
- I thought to myself, "there's a possibility I will return this because it's too big."Jaline
- The customer service guy later told me that a lot of people end up returning it, sometimes within the same day.Jaline

Does the watch come out tomorrow? I dont even see a date on their own site.
- I believe pre-orders are shipped to arrive tomorrow. No idea what in-store availability will be. They are pushing the online sale with the in-store try-on combomonospaced
- In-store won't be available until June.monospaced
- how and why do you know this mono?fadein11
- I only looked it up when I saw his question here because I was curious about how they were going to sell them.monospaced
- CygnusZero40
Also how long do you turkeys think this model will be relevant? We talking less than 5 years?
- Is any technology product relevant for more than 5 years?reanimate
- Its a watch. People tend to keep them for a while.CygnusZero4
- Yes it's a watch in form, but really it's a wearable little computer. Closer to a phone than a watch, imo.monospaced
- The watch will still work beyond 5 years, I guess youll just be missing out on new OS features.CygnusZero4

This a concern for anyone? I am surprised we don't hear of more problems (the erroneous thinking that Macs are safe has been around for a long time).
