backstab

They need a TV ad like in Scrooged where people are shown dying from falls and heart attacks and viewers will be scared not to buy one. 

”Apple Watch. Your life might just depend on it.”

People are just jumping on board with Apple Watch. We're starting to see them pop up everywhere and it's about to go into overdrive mode.

As always, Apple picked just the right time to announce and launch this model. We are living in the height off Apple Watch adoption. You're gonna see a lot more of these soon. Don't be surprised if you see them everywhere you go post-Holiday 2018!

The only aggressive thing I'm seeing here is the pricing changes in the last 2years. And not in a good way. Aggressive as in it will seriously hurt your wealth.

Especially in non US markets..

But it will line the pockets of Apple I guess..

These days £750/£800 (128Gb) gets you a mid range low res , XR edition. 2 years ago that was top end pricing.

Now top end (XS Max with 256GB) since there is no 128GB is £1249

I think I paid about £800 for my 7Plus 128Gb which was also pricey at the time. Going to an equivalent XS Max for the big screen is a £450 premium. Laughable. 

The increase is shocking. Quite disgusting. 

I'm not complaining because I couldn't afford to buy it.. I could. It's about value. And not wanting to be taken for a mug. 

Really not liking where Apple is going these days.

I’m betting you’re actually lying and can’t afford it. If you could, there would be no need for the pointless sniping.

The sniping is justified. 
And I don't really care whether you believe me or not.
It's about value. And the value proposition just isn't here. Looking at the feedback in all the chat threads since the event, I'm very much not alone.

People (even those with money who could buy this phone) recognise this as nothing more than Apple being greedy and being  taken for a ride. 

Only those with more money than sense will blindly hand it over without questioning the value.
