Unless nobody buys the 16GB iPhone 6, the 16GB iPhone 6 Plus or the 8GB iPhone 5c, then you will be proved wrong in your assertion.
I tend to agree - it's about time for a higher capacity base model for the iPhone because people are using them more than ever.
It's a little unfair to say what you did, though, since those models are all base-tier, which makes them easily attainable, versus dropping $100 extra to step up (making the prices $100, $300, $400). It'd be clearer to say for the 128gb, but there's still a lot of variables involved. And who doesn't want more storage if it's affordable so probably the only people invested in Apple's margins and metrics care to question that degree of storage.
It's not thin enough- needs to go under a shirt sleeve.. But maybe it will get thinner like every iPhone ever has.
No it's not too thick, and it doesn't have to go under a shirt sleeve. If you look at more expensive watches, many are between 9 and 12.5mm thick, and they don't go under a shirt sleeve.
Even many dress watches don't go under a shirt sleeve. If someone wants a thin watch, they can buy one of those too. But as a requirement, no.
If you wear an expensive watch that is thick, as many are, and you really want them to go under your cuff, the you wear a French cuff, and it will go under.
It is too thick, and it does have to go under a shirt sleeve. It's the most infernal nuisance when your shirt catches on your watch. It can even happen with a 5mm. It will certainly happen with an 11mm. What's more, you won't be able to put your shirt on or take it off without taking your watch off—that's a right royal pain in the arse.

That's why I moved to Florida ... no problems with my watches getting caught up on my Tommy Bahama shirts :smokey:

My 'assertion' was Apple shouldn't offer them not that people shouldn't buy them. I had seven devices to upgrade to iOS 8 the other day and three were the low end storage and everyone was a pain to upgrade requiring iTunes and file deletion. The fact is the base systems just don't have enough storage to be practical these days.

Your cuffs have no buttons? You either need to buy real shirts or learn how to put on and take off shirts. With a tight cuff your hands wouldn't fit through the opening either.
Many dress watches don't fit under tight cuffs. Most dress watches, even the thin ones, are more than 5mm.
If indeed GPS would be a working function, it means that I can leave my iPhone at home while doing my daily outside runs and walks. This defintely would make me consider to byikng an Apple Watch..... Let's wait and see. I am also looking forward to using the healthkit integrated apps Lifesum, Moves and Withings with my future iPhone 6 +

And how come this is only a problem for the ?Watch? How come the shirt-cuff argument doesn't prove that they could never sell any Rolexes or any of those other $20,000 and $30,000 watches every single one of which is at least as thick as the ?Watch at 11 mm?
Here's my request to Apple to replace the iPod shuffle... Please make a shuffle/watch that will work with a pair of wireless headphones (Beats or Apple branded, either one). I don't really need every function of the Apple Watch, I personally just need a sports watch with iPod function. That's it.
In other news, Tim Cook has reported first weekend sales of 10 million.
That's good, but not as stellar as I was predicting, which was 13 million. Of course, China wasn't included this year; it was, last year. I wonder if some spreadsheet whizz could estimate the difference not having China makes.

If you're an analyst, you'd probably be a terrible one. No way in hell that Apple would stock iPhone inventory to break previous record by 5 million units. The point is that they wanted to have enough to break the record and move on. Next time, they will have 12 millions and then 13 million a year later...It's a long term strategy, not stunning 1 time record and will never be able to break the record again.
As something of a "throw away" I remember Tim Cook mentioning that the Apple Watch could function on its own to play music (presumably through BT, since there is obviously no plug.) "If someone wants to go out on a run, they can play music just from their watch." Interesting, but I kind of think we've gotten to the point where going out on a run without your phone isn't really done. I carry mine as a safety device. Get hit by a car? Or twist an ankle? The iPhone makes many options available.
Maybe there's an opportunity for some very limited emergency function. Turn on that GPS chip only when a 911 call is needed....and then connect to cell...how? Maybe wifi, but the Apple pitch videos were showing fitness models running on the beach.
Maybe Apple has some other tricks up their sleeves. (!)

Other than it's not $49 how is the watch not a shuffle replacement? The shuffle only has 2GB storage. The watch plays music to a bluetooth headset.
Do you know what that image says to me? Klaatu Barada Nikto.....now where did I put my drink?:smokey:
I think the sci fi movie predilection of Bruce Campbell is showing there ... It took me a while to get used to him not encountering aliens or zombies in Burn Notice.

Your right of course. It is going to become known as Watch Gate, just wait ands see.

Yes, except that nobody did that.

Want to bet most of the folks bitching about the thickness of the watch doesn't own a french cuff shirt?
...or an expensive watch

The answer is 'Your not wearing it right.
