I'm actually intrigued about the iwatch its something I would actually buy, as long as the battery life is more then a couple of days, its not a phone, it doesn't have a camera etc etc
just hope they don't copy whats already out (and are all junk)
there is already a cheaper iwatch C planned with more basic functionality (display only time and date, and have a stopwatch) and a longer lasting battery. according to rumours, it will look a bit like this
I am a Mac user at work as well as at home. I have an iPhone... and an iPad. I buy apple products because they work for me and have an user experience second to none. But the entire fanboy cult is nothing but annoying.
My excitement about hyped up product presentations in one picture:
I consider myself to be pretty platform agnostic (I use on a daily basis a Lumia 930, LG G2 and an iPhone 5S) and nothing released this year (smartphone or smartwatch) has been even vaguely interesting. Even the initially impressive Moto 360 watch has turned into a damp squib with a fugly wedge of dead screen at the bottom, laughable battery life and a fiddly OS. With just a few months left of the year, it will be good to see if Apple can manage to raise the bar.
P.S Android fanboys are equally annoying and they don't even know it. How silly to be flying the flag for the largest data mining, advertising company on the planet whose business it is to know where you are, what you like, who you know etc..
The most disappointing aspect which I predict on all devices is simply battery life and management which I guess will be severely lacking in new innovative tech once again. Apart from that gripe, same old shit with shinier models.
I'm actually in awe at what manufacturers have managed to achieve in the last decade. Take the Galaxy S5 for example, on a full charge it can play over 15 hours of video, which on a device that slim and light is nothing short of a miracle
Battery tech and more energy efficient chipsets are continually be released but they simply that can't keep up with the ever increasing demands people put on their tech. Firing up that massive screen every other minute to check your facebook, whatsapp, twitter, push email etc.. will obviously drain the battery quicker than a more moderate user, but for many people their smartphone has replaced all their other IT devices and so they need to accept that you can't treat it like an old skool phone (charging it every other day), this is a computer that needs to be continually topped up (e.g. wireless charging pads at home and office which is what I have).
To be honest, even though I'm fully Apple (work and at home), I am so bored of the hype that they could release a totally holographic iPhone with a battery life of 10 days under constant use and I'd still be "meh"
