I'm still willing to bet a steak or sushi dinner that Apple will not release an iWatch. A wearable bracelet, maybe. But not a watch.

- coralreef 12y agoWhat do you call a bracelet with a touch screen? Semantics, anyhow.
- pimlottc 12y agoAgree, it's as valid as calling your pocket touchscreen computer a "phone".
- pokpokpok 12y agoI believe that they're already doing tooling for it at the manufacturing company where I intern. So don't make that bet with too many people
- onedev 12y agoFoxconn intern?
- hnriot 12y agoa watch is a wearable bracelet that just happens to tell time, and often a few other things. Watches made the transition from time piece to jewelery many years ago. With the time being ubiquitously available watches have been relegated to being a "wearable bracelet" (is there any other kind?) - A Rolex submariner, for example, does the exact same thing as a $5 plastic cheapy, but people still buy Rolex and all the other > $5 watches as jewelery (i.e. social signalling of status)
- pbreit 12y agoWhy wouldn't they include the time on a wearable bracelet?
- vicbrooker 12y agoPersonally, I can't agree enough with this. Positioning the wearable as a "iBracelet" means that it can be work at the same time as a consumer's watch; whereas an "iWatch" potentially limits the market. That said, I can completely understand the position of making an iWatch and forcing the choice between existing watches and Apple's. However, to me it's better to competing with fitbit than rolex.
- stuaxo 12y agoThe bet has to have a deadline or noone will be eating steak or sushi.
- cowls 12y agoNo deadline means he can never win the bet, but whoever he is betting with can, so seems win win ;)
