Why didnt you link to the verge. That 9to5Mac live blog was terrible.
Some pretty telling stuff on wearable tech. Cook said he didn’t see Google Glass having widespread appeal and I agree. HE also seemed to be against watches:
“‘To convince people that they have to wear something, it has to be incredible,” Cook said. “If we asked a room of 20-year olds to stand up if they’re wearing a watch, I don’t think anyone would stand up.'”
So, does this mean Cook believes Apple has created a watch with widespread appeal in a world where people don’t really wear watches much anymore? Or did he just put the nail in the coffin for iWatch speculation? I’m hoping the latter, because I really don’t see a watch (or glasses) being the next Big Thing.
9to5Mac anything is terrible. I unfollowed them a long time ago. Their Twitter feed alone is unbearable–they just constantly retweet 9to5Android all day long.
Watch is better than glasses. And he did mention that the watch must be amazing/spectacular/profoundly great for mass appeal, or it will fail. I’m sure Apple will work its magic to take over another product category.
