#42I'm not sure if the article was good or bad. But boy did it make me miss Steve Jobs. (and I don't even use Apple products).

#43That was a great article. I love the idea of the heartbeat feature. Is that a real feature of the iwatch?
You can share your heartbeat with others with the apple watch, yes.

#44Hacker News: your premier source for Steve Jobs fan fiction. (laughs) Does the author really think that Steve Jobs would have ever said "When I open up a website on Safari, I don't have to strain my eyes anymore"? They're still selling 5S and 5C! Not even Asus would disparage their previous products like that. The rest of the piece is just as bad and devoid of substance. (Steve rolls in his grave)
Right. A product is, well, a product of its time. I doubt Apple spent much time worrying how can we go bigger after saying we had the perfect size . Seems a bigger problem is how can we go bigger without people thinking that's the only difference ? A 5.7" iPhone would be as out of place in 2006 (not enough power to push those pixels, low power screen tech was non-existent) as a 3.5" phone is today. No mental backflip…
The web has changed. Agreed.

#45The single version of the watch is spot on. As is the implicit point that maybe they could have hit this year's holiday season if they hadn't tried to make so many different versions. The best part of what you wrote is the end, where Steve ties the watch to the human experience. I hadn't thought about his keynotes from that lens before -- you showed me something new.
The idea that a different screen size or a bunch of watch bands would cause a delay of 3 months is pretty ridiculous. The far more likely scenario is that either (a) there are serious hardware showstoppers, (b) yield issues with certain components or (c) the battery life is still unacceptable.
Also the single version of a watch is a really dumb premise. A watch is a fashion accessory so you need to support people's varying tastes.

#46This was killed already once today and is back again?
Steve was very explicit to Tim Cook and others in the Apple executive team that they should never ask "what would Steve do." Seems to be written by someone with little understanding of Apple today.

#47Commentary on Apple decorum at its finest.
Re: Steve Jobs Introduces the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch
#48totally disagree on the watch. I would never consider a watch with that metallic band, and there a few bands I really like that apple released. I think apple nailed it by recognizing the personal aesthetic and fashion statement that wearing a device on your body entails
Re: Steve Jobs Introduces the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch
#49Worth noting that "iWatch" doesn't work because it sounds like the sentence "I watch". There's a lot of ways to take that in creepy/joking directions, which would be an unnecessary distraction from the product.
Based on your logic, even iPhone ("I phone") is out the window. Besides, Apple has never shied away from punny names. Think iSight and Airport.

#50I think the article was interesting, but it was surprisingly uncomfortable to see the various photos where Steve was suffering from the effects of his illness (I guess for me, it's more personal having seen other family members go through the same and pass away...).
