This is classic Apple, they try to widen the audience that wants a tech by simplifying as much as possible, then finding a key value.
Prime example is the Apple Watch... who "wears" it now? Sports people...

- poulsbohemian 6y ago> Prime example is the Apple Watch... who "wears" it now? Sports people... Two years ago I was on vacation in Hawaii and took a whale watching / snorkel tour. I was the only person on the boat not wearing an Apple Watch. They are pretty much ubiquitous, like the iPhone, among an upper middle class demographic.

- poulsbohemian 6y agoYou are being snarky and not adding to the conversation. From the time the Apple Watch appeared, it's been denigrated, but I see them everywhere. I see regular complainers here on HN about the iPhone too, but it misses the total saturation in certain demographics. Apple is successful. Yes, we should continue to hold them to a high standard of ethics, but the haters need to realize that consumers like their gear.
