I have a feeling Apple is going to put all these other clown companies with their useless clown products in their place. They will show that no matter how many "smart watches" these frauds have spammed out, in such a desperate, ADD like fashion- these things will be instantly obsoleted by a product that is not just a knee-jerk reaction of pre-emptive attack, but one which has had millions of hours of thought put into it, and which will serve a meaningful and practical purpose in every day life. Apple is going to show the world, once again, how to create a product that truly changes things and deserves to exist. And all the fucking haters who have been whining about Apple's "lack of innovation" (you know, all while Apple has been doing the tough behind the scenes work that makes innovation possible) will have crow to eat once again.
Think about it - what is the main reason for getting a large display phone? pr0n. A one handed phablet will sell like pr0n.
iWatch will be the first real test of Apple's ability to innovate without The Steve. The more I learn of it, the more excited I am for Apple's future.
Apple has had a shitload of innovations since Steve passed, and you'd be extremely superficial to ignore those. The first desktop class 64 bit mobile CPU, Touch ID- the first actually useable, reliable mass produced, consumer biometric system, duotone flash, the M7 motion coprocessor, the new Retina Macbook Pro line, the ridiculous advancements in the iPad line (thinness, weight, display resolution), the new Mac Pro, all the hundreds of software innovations in iOS and OSX, even a new programming language- the list goes on and on. Apple, and Tim, have been tested. And so far, they've succeeded with flying colors. "Innovation" isn't exclusive to a new product category. It also applies to the engineering and design of their existing product lines, through hardware and software, and a vision based on laying the foundation with all the above technologies and more.

1. The "breach" wasn't just with iCloud

3. "Mac fanboi sites" (a strange way to describe a site you've posted 2,700+ times on) have reported this story heavily, as far as I've seen.
At least your name matches the shitty quality of your posts.
It really doesn't matter if the news media or industry pundits are disappointed because the iPhone doesn't have some built-in matter transporter. All that matters is whether consumers will buy the iPhone in quantity. The average consumer doesn't have the expectations of tech-heads and they'll simply settle for a good Apple product. Apple has stated nothing about any product and its the news media that's gone off all by itself. The average consumer probably doesn't follow every little rumor as they've got more important things in their life. I think a lot of consumers will like mobile payments and if it works seamlessly and Apple has major banks and credit card companies signed up, then I'm sure there will be a lot of happy consumers. I would certainly be one of them to have NFC take the place of my credit card especially if it worked for vending machines or as a transit pass.
This is all so true. The vast majority of smartphone owners don't follow sites like this. I was talking with some members of my extended family, who are loyal Apple users, and none of them seemed to know that a bigger iPhone was coming. The expectations letdown is only among the techie crowd, which is a pretty small percentage of overall tech users.
With researchers and John Hopkins, Berkeley and Cal Tech independently solving the lattice issues of glass and allowing for the atoms to align analogous to steel, thus being coined transparent steel, I wonder if the world will soon be able to experience these advances, and not just be entertained with more research breakthroughs.
So I’m supposed to talk to Siri instead of the people I actually want to call? Great.
You talk on your phone? I can't remember the last time I even held my phone up to my ear. When I do talk, it's usually through my bluetooth stereo in my car, but even that is super rare these days. I agree with you, though, that 5.5 inch phones look pretty dumb, whether against an ear or in a hand. I'll definitely love talking to my watch, though.

I am guessing that the primary strategy -- both sensible -- with the 5.5 is to: (1) Get android types to switch; and (2) Protect/enhance market share in China and the Far East, where a larger screen does matter, given the nature of the script.
I will be truly bummed, however, if the 5.5 ends up having features that the 4.7 does not.
The only website I can being correct within days of any Apple annulment is the WSJ.
I dont buy flexible sapphire for a second. Curved?
I also don't see them doing wireless charging unless iPhone has it as well. Otherwise, people might justifiably say, I will wait for next years iPhone with wireless charging.
Oh come on, of course Apple has created rubberized, flexible sapphire for the iPhone 6 which also has 10 mile radius wireless charging. Plus, if you grip the iPhone 6 just right, you can walk on water.
Actually, give it a year or two, and I'd believe all that except the water part.
Please, please get out, and spare us the minute-by-minute pangs, twitches, regret, guilt, angst, breast-beating, caterwauling, etc etc. Enough already. It's become quite tiresome.
Put me on ignore then and I'll do the same with you (and the mouse in your pocket).
No, the stock is down because of Apple's iCloud security breach. It's a huge story outside the Apple reality bubble at Mac fanboi sites.
Stock was actually up on Tuesday. Dropped 4% on Wednesday when an analyst at Pacific Crest said sell the stock. Of course it didn't help that Samsung and others were launching new products that day so the clueless AP and others would attribute the drop to Samsung's new products.
Put me on ignore then and I'll do the same with you (and the mouse in your pocket).
I never put anyone on 'ignore,' not even some of the toads on this forum. I like to take it in its entirety.
Your posts have got annoying (they're not terrible), and I am merely expressing an opinion. If you don't like to hear that, you can stop with these incessant, moanie-groanie posts of yours on the topic of Apple's stock price.
If you can't or don't stop, you'll just have to deal with the occasional pushback. (You might, however win the 'Aspires To Be Constable Odo' award.)
If anyone creating mock up drawings read this site, I apologize in advance. AI, please stop including these absolutely hideous mock-up drawings with every story about the "iWatch". They are irrelevant and we always end up with some dweeb saying how the device is going to fail because it so ugly. What does the picture in this story have to do with the story?
Here is my mock up of the iWatch. Please consider it for the next story:
-O-
I agree.
I think the closest mockup to what we may actually see next week is Todd Hamilton's:
All the other mockups look like Androids or sorry attempts at merging a smartphone with a watch. Todd's concept looks the closest to Apple's original wearable patent also:

I can't stand laughing at other smart watches when the iWatch's unveiled. I'm sure Samsung Gear S just announced yesterday with the specs will totally change when it's actually released. I love to see how Apple reinvent things that put everyone's products to shadow (is it what it for in the 9.9.2014 invitation: the shadow of sun dial?)

It would be even funnier of the iWatch ends up a TV.
