My iPhone is a three year old 6 Plus. I have no problems leaving that giant at home to rely on a watch. I'd hope it would bring more attention back to my day, and help break me of the habit of going to my phone when bored.
The watch would do everything I need, texts, phone calls, email alerts, and I can even use it for navigation. While it would be better not to pay the $10 a month surcharge, that's a fairly small price to pay if it's an improvement in my daily experience.
- gnicholas 9y agoYep! And one issue Apple will have to deal with is: if people routinely leave their phones at home, will they pay $600+ for new phones every 2 years? My guess is that Apple will not be too eager for that scenario...
- valuearb 9y agoApple isn't dumb enough to think they have a choice. When Android finally figures out watches as well as Apple, a hundred watch makers will start chipping away at the phone market. Apple has always been smart enough to try to cannabilize its own products if cannibalization was inevitable.
- gnicholas 9y agoWhat do you think the ETA is on a good, LTE-enabled Android watch? I feel like nothing out now is as good as the original Apple Watch, and it took them 2 more years to get the LTE stuff worked in there (and even then, the battery life isn't as good as Series 2). And to be clear, I'm not a fanboy who sees the Apple Watch as the gold standard — I don't have one and probably won't purchase the Series 3.
