One response to “Why hands-on with Apple Watch has made us believers, this week on The CultCast”
I tend to buy Apple products early. Sometimes too early, but I love their stuff. I did notice a tendency in on-line blogs and in a lot of articles to compare Apple with the competition unfairly, almost always by people who didn’t own an Apple gadget. Some of the most sophistic comparisons are based on a selected and narrow set of attributes like RAM, screen size and cost. They are missing a lot.
An Apple gadget doesn’t just appear on its own. It’s part of a system ( some say a universe) that generally works seamlessly. For instance Apple TV allows me to play videos from my iTunes folder connected to my router and to stream content from my portable devices as long as they are made by Apple ( of course.)
I can take a phone call on my Mac that was sent to my iPhone and walk away and continue the call on my iPhone. Nobody has put together a system like this.
The next part of the ecosystem for me is the Apple Watch. I didn’t know they would run out of them. I was too slow.
