My biggest disappointment, they announced a product they cannot ship. I remember the good old days, ITS AVAILABLE TODAY. Now Apple is nothing than just what they used to lampoon, a creator of announcements; not products.
Perhaps we can hope they use the time to take the obvious feedback flowing in and make it right by launch
- guywithabike 12y agoYou have an impossibly selective memory. The iPhone was announced 6 months before it shipped, for example.
- RyJones 12y agoThis stymies people considering buying competitor watches for this Christmas season, which is the big reason to pre-announce.
- __david__ 12y ago> I remember the good old days, ITS AVAILABLE TODAY. You mean like the iPhone, which was announced at Macworld in January, 2007 and went on sale only 7 months later?
- xienze 12y agoEh, for the most part they're pretty good about releasing quickly after announcing, but that's because they've been producing the product in question for months overseas. In the case of the watch, clearly they didn't want any leaks and therefore they haven't started production yet.
- nardi 12y agoOthers noted that the iPhone shipped 6 months after the announcement. The iPad shipped 3 months later. Your entire comment is premised on a falsehood.
- josefresco 12y agoAs others have pointed out, similar lag times were seen with the original iPhone and iPad launches. Despite this, the small lag time for each iteration since has other people complaining: http://bgr.com/2014/09/10/apple-watch-release-date-analysis/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed http://bgr.com/2014/09/10/apple-watch-release-date-analysis/...:
