Ok, here's another prediction. Along with the failed Apple Watch, Cook will now introduce another failed product. The 12.9" iPad. Apple is well on its way to ruin. It may take 10 years but it's well on its way.

Seriously, anyone that get a chance to visit apple stores can tell you that almost no one visits the watch counters. I work close to the Soho store and every time I walk by the place there's one or no one at the display.

Cook and the senior management should focus instead of spending their time of frivolous thing like giving interviews or voicing their political views. They're not there for that.

And yet, no one is buying it except the hardcore fans. This is going to be ugly. The only people really excited about this product are the senior management team who feels that they had to hard sell it by giving tons of interview and the biggest pre…

Probably lots of cancelled orders after people preordered, checked them out at a store, thought about it some more, then cancelled.

What do you expect when people buy the Apple Watch? Dumb people will buy and believe anything with an Apple logo. Jobs is rolling over in his grave.
