But there’s no technical reason a stand-alone watch couldn’t be an option for those who actually want it.

But there’s no technical reason a stand-alone watch couldn’t be an option for those who actually want it.
- yamtaddle 4y agoSure, but > The Apple Watch could be the next big thing that replaces the smartphone I simply don't think is true.
- dijit 4y agoYou might not, but I have gone entire days with only my LTE Apple watch. I can take calls, play music (wirelessly through my airpods), crudely reply to messages (it's only a little awkward, surprisingly usable) and pay for things without my phone. For web-browsing, I don't need to do that all the time. I use my camera a sum total of twice a month. I don't think I'm special.
- thorncorona 4y agoThere are people who'd be able to get by with a watch, but as an alternate perspective: - 99% of my messaging is through text, the other 1% is video calling - Most of my causal web browsing is on my phone - I've taken thousands of pictures on my phone in the last year. Most of my friends are like this as well.
- dijit 4y agoI’m sure thats true, in fact, I’m certain of it. most of the use of my phone is mobile web-browsing. I can honestly live without that sometimes, especially as phones are getting large enough that you might as well have a tablet that you lug around sometimes.
