This thread took a while to get going but it's finally getting good.

It's sold as a breakaway from your phone. Though I think people like looking at their phones, we're addicted to it - it's like smoking, a safety blanket. What will be interesting is the things watches do that your phone doesn't do.
- I'll buy a fitness one. I'd buy a Google Glass fitness thing first, though, I don't like a watch, certainly not a phone, when I exercise.formed

Hmmm...the Apple Stylus actually amazing. We'll see if it works as well as what's presented to us in the video.

Intrigued by the cycling updates on the watch.
For a couple years I just used my phone mounted to my road bike, connected to Strava and my Wahoo cadence and speed sensors. But then Strava stopped supporting the cadence sensor.
I bought a Wahoo computer and love that it's smaller than the phone, and I don't worry that the phone is gonna run out of battery. Syncing is easy to Strava.
I like the idea of the watch connecting to bluetooth cycling devices, but I'm not going back to using my phone on the bike. At least I have a newer watch with the always on display, but don't think I'm going to abandon the Wahoo computer since I only got it last year.

New MBPs are nice, I hope butterfly keyboard gen 3 gets rid of the issues some users had. I barely use my keyboard on the previous model since at work I use an external keyboard + mice.

Here's the thing, formed. Shareholders got used to a quick ride with the iPhone and iPad. Before that it was the iPod. There were huge gaps. Now investors are spoiled. They don't want the ride to end, but they need to be realistic. Yes, they SEEM to not be innovating, but I pretty much guarantee they're working on a lot behind the scenes. It's what Apple does, it's their DNA. I don't think they're just sitting there doing nothing, but some investors/analysts want you to.
The stock tumbling has just as much to do with those interested in shorting the company, as it does with actual concern. But since people are spoiled and afraid, the stock seems volatile. It's still silly to see that trend and equate it to ACTUAL lack of innovation, though. And like I have said repeatedly, it's only been two years, people need to be realistic about innovation timelines.
- I'm joyous that I dumped my Apple stocks at killer profit!!!utopian
- from a shareholder perspective there has been very little change in the stock. What they lack in growth they are making up for with buybacks and dividends.zarkonite
- up for with buybacks and dividends.zarkonite
- It's pretty standard stuff for public companies that want to transition out of their growth period.zarkonite

The Federal Trade Commission states specifically, "For the 'assembly' claim to be valid, the product's last 'substantial transformation' also should have occurred in the U.S. That's why a 'screwdriver' assembly in the U.S. of foreign components into a final product at the end of the manufacturing process doesn't usually qualify for the 'Assembled in USA' claim."

Guess who's not paying taxes?
Some of the world's most well-known companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Boots and Starbucks have become successful partly by convincing us through their products that their corporate values align with consumers' personal values.
But what happens when these companies behave in ways that seem to betray our trust? What if you find out that these companies keep their huge profits offshore and out of reach of domestic tax authorities?
Will people challenge them -- "You want to change the world and have us pick up the tab?" Yes, people are voicing their discontent. At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, protesters loudly criticized Apple for keeping $54.4 billion offshore to avoid paying U.S. corporate taxes.
