    Remember the very recent tweet of Jim Dalrymple? I cannot recall him ever saying that before an Apple event.

    No. What did he say? And why is it important? (Not trying to be cute).

    1. Wrap around your wrist

    2. measure your


    • heartbeat

    • blood sugar

    • blood pressure


    1. count your steps (iPhone 5S can but no other previous devices can)

     

    but since there is no “iWatch” released yet, we don’t know what it actually can do that the iPhone cannot.

    You mean at least until this time next year...

    Apple will also release BTLE headphone.

    I believe SpamSandwich was referring to this?

    Holy shit people, hang on to your hats, this is going to be a wild ride.

    If you follow Ben Bajarin's twitter he too has hinted that Tuesday is going to be big, that Apple would announce things no one is talking about. Sounded like he's got some inside information from Apple that embargoed until after Tuesday.

    Yes, and he said he wrote everything (reviews?) already, just couldn't publish it.

    Why do you need a belt if your pants aren't falling down?

    Really? Why does hair gel exist?

    Just because you don't need something doesn't mean it won't look better. I realize you were likely just trolling there, but in the case that you weren't... :rolleyes:

    ... so that Federighi doesn't look like the Einstein he is, and be forced to shave his head like Jony? It would be a new twist to their first skit together.

    Just a guess... there could be other reasons... :smokey:

    02 DAYS - 01 HOURS - 22 MINUTES -> Apple 3.0


    Edtied to add: "mad scientist" was too vague, and "just got L-AI-D" to "icky"

    1) I don't use hair gel (or a hair dryer or any product to style my hair). I get my hair cut short when it gets to a point that it requires brushing or some sort of nasty substance in it. I despise waiting time on something so frivolous.*

    2) I have paid a tailor to remove belt loops from suits pants that I'll specifically not use a belt because I think it looks better. If I won't need a belt why should I wear one? I do use a belt with jeans but that's because they are more loosely fitting than my bespoke suits.

    400 400 400

    (I'm on the right¡)


    * Not so much that it's frivolous but that it's frivolous for me whilst talking up time every day, or multie times a day, especially in the morning when time seems more precious.

    Perhaps Apple has gone with the technology that allows u to keep your watch charged from just your pulse like some of the few watches out there.
    Either way Apple has a lot of media attention on this event so they better impress their investors and their consumers. I am a hard core Apple fan but I need something new and exciting in my life enough minor changes I want to be blown away.

    He writes for techpinions so if probably won't be reviews per se but what the implications are for Apple and the industry as a whole. I like Ben because he seems fair and rational, sticks to facts and doesn't have an irrational hatred for Apple like a lot of tech journalist do (in fact often times he seems to be very pro Apple).
