iPhone crash detection calls cops to deadly wreck
Instead of "crash detection" on our phones, maybe we need intelligent cars that prevent motorists going above the speed limit, and preventing moving if alcohol is detected.Will Apple Car do that? Is Apple going to be responsible, or will they market it like every other company as the fastest, most powerful car out there? -

Hands on with the 40mm women's Hermes Apple Watch Series 4

If more women buy it, great, good for them. More men buy the larger watch? Great.
Buying a Chevy Suburban used to be a guy thing; now I see lots of moms buying them. Is a Chevy Suburban a “Men’s Car” or a “Men’s Model”? Of course not. How ridiculous is that?! Think of the sales they would lose if they called it a men’s model.
That was exactly my point. Trucks, SUVs, even electric vehicles like Teslas are designed & marketed mainly to men. Just not exclusively, by including “mens’ model” in their names.And, brands absolutely do create products and market to certain demographics, even men vs women, however (rather recently) culturally inappropriate it might be.
If neither Apple nor Hermès market their products using gender terms, why is the reviewer adding it, especially in the title of the article? How do Apple & Hermès differentiate the models? Just use their terminology, such as size, and keep it at that. -

Does Motor Trend’s headline read, “Hands on with the men's Chevy Suburban” or “Six Month Long Term Test of Men’s Tesla Model 3”? Of course not.
Chevy and Apple want to sell product, and they couldn’t care less what gender they’re selling to. It’s all about 💰 💵 profits. So let’s skip the gender tagging, shall we?
