> Apple Watch was functional, self contained, worked, and was under $1,000 The Apple Watch was far from “self contained” when it was first introduced. It couldn’t really run third party apps at all. The “apps” were just projections from the phone. Over many years, it did become more self contained - running apps independently - gaining its own GPS chip - gaining its own cell connection - gaining its own App Store Even today, you still need an iPhone for at least the first setup. Also don’t forget that you couldn’t buy music on the iPhone when it was first introduced and it wasn’t until the iPod Touch was introduced later that year that you could buy music directly from the phone and then only over wifi. It wasn’t until iOS 5 that you could update your phone without using iTunes on your computer.
