Apple Event 7 September

[greg0205]

Missed the first 20m due to power outage.

What did I miss?

Just Apple Watch so far.

Series 8 looks good, Ultra is a beast.

Got to hand it to Apple - they know how to promote their products.

This Ultra looks cool. I'm very impressed by its scuba capabilities - I see they're calling it a 'dive computer'

Enhanced period tracker would be handy for that pielkop eggy if used/knew how to use an iPhone.

I’m looking forward to seeing this Watch on the wrists of people who’ve never dived or hiked a day in their lives
Absolutely brilliant move by Apple here, it’s akin to luxury SUVs in the car market.

Lol $800 for a watch.

 

[Dave]

Ultra is not as expensive as I expected. Only a $200 premium.

 

[Keanu Leeves]

$799=~16/17k

 

[AfricanTech]

the Ultra will be like urban 4x4 - people will buy so they can wear it in the shower, sauna and the beach.

This thing is a beast.

What did he say 800 dollars?

How much is a comparable Garmin?

 

[prod]

Lol $800 for a watch.

Have you seen what Garmins cost? Chopstick

 

[Dolby]

Apple Watch Ultra is here to eat Garmin Fenix, I’m sure the peeps at Garmin are having an interesting time in their iMessage group, lol.

I’ll be keen to hear from athletes 1st hand experience.

I don’t know a single athlete that *doesn’t* use Fenix and absolutely swear by it. Maybe Apple got it right - but let’s see.

Fenix users are just as cultish

 

[AfricanTech]

Lol $800 for a watch.

Uh yeah - a 'watch'

 

[Hamster]

Imagine the day you don't need a phone anymore. The watch is your "phone" and if you sit in front of a screen an alternative UI displays for you to use, or just an iPad I guess.

Ubuntu tried this with a phone I think. Anyway, that's the day I'll have a use for an Apple Watch. At the moment mine is just lying something in the house.

 

[FiestaST]

You can see Ultra is years in the making. Tons of thought went into it. Consultation with proper experts for days etc

You are more likely to see Apple Watch Ultra on a wrist connected to a hand that’s holding a hubbly pipe somewhere on Long Street, Florida Rd or 4th Ave.
