Hoping one day it can be a standalone device
With all the watchOS 6 stuff that makes it more independent (App Store on watch, iPhone-less apps, etc), I was thinking this might be the year. Oh well, bet it happens next year.
- geerlingguy 7y agoI’m optimistic too; remember the iPod and iPhone required a computer to get them set up initially too.
- piffey 7y agoI don't think it will ever happen if I'm honest. Would take away from iPhone sales.
- gurkendoktor 7y agoI think this depends on whether other manufacturers go that route. Apple would rather have their own Watch cannibalize iPhone sales than some Android Wear gadget.
- thih9 7y agoIt looks like their long term strategy, i.e. put smartphone functionality into a watch, put tablet functionality into a phone, put laptop functionality into a tablet.
- michaelmarion 7y agoOne could argue that the iPad is intended to do the same thing to the MacBook line. Obviously the iPhone is a bigger driver of Apple's business, which changes the circumstances somewhat.
