> Is Apple expanding to the "luxury" fashion market?
They've been flirting with it for a while, remember they made a $17,000 solid gold variant of the first gen Apple Watch (which is no longer supported lol), and today they sell luxury Hermès edition watches at a 2-3x premium over the regular titanium models.
- RandomBacon 1y agoI think that's different. That's just premium flair for their product, whereas this is just a stupid fashion product.
- pseudalopex 1y agoBoth products could be viewed both ways.

- smugma 1y agoI got an Hermes (plastic?) strap as a gift and it’s way better than any other strap I’ve ever had. Plastic and steel still look brand new. Is it worth 10-20X the price of a normal strap? No, but it’s called disposable income for a reason.
