Smart watches actually have really nothing to do with time pieces -- the name watch is just some marketing skeumorphism because its a smart phone on your wrist. If the Apple watch couldn't tell the time it would still be just as useful and expensive.
If you don't agree with this policy because its authoritarian -- it is -- but thats Apple and thats another debate. Given that they are authoritarian they might as well get rid of "apps that exclusively tell time" or "fart apps". This makes sense to me.
- applerules 11y agoI agree. Also: Smart phones actually have really nothing to do with cell phones -- the name phone is just some marketing skeumorphism because its a smart computer in your pocket. If the Apple phone couldn't call or text it would still be just as useful and expensive. If you don't agree with this policy because its authoritarian -- it is -- but thats Apple and thats another debate. Given that they are authoritarian they might as well get rid of "apps that exclusively call or text" [e.g. whatsapp, hangouts, snapchat, facebook messenger, burner etc] or "fart apps". This makes sense to me.
