Jeb Bush is a huge Apple Watch fan even though he knows how to use it about as much as he knows how to beat Donald Trump. The presidential hopeful is always incorrectly referring to the device as an “iWatch” — and apparently didn’t discover until today that it can make calls.
Bush received an untimely call during an interview Wednesday with The Des Moines Register’s editorial board, but had absolutely no idea where the talking voice was coming from. After reassuring reporters that his “watch can’t be talking,” Bush was politely informed that indeed it can.
“I’ve never had my Bat Phone turned on,” exclaims a befuddled Bush in the video. “That’s the coolest thing in the world.”

I’m not voting for him, but I appreciate that he’s trying to learn and adapt to new technology.
I bet my man Trump wears the Edition around his house.
Oh so your a racist too?
Buster don’t be a jackass. I’m not a Jeb supporter, but you don’t have to be a jackass.
What being a jackass about an egocentric jackass staying long beyond anything reasonable? Jeb is an idiot and has been cursed with a face the reinforces it.
You know, just stop treating politics like a religion. It does justice to no one.
Your supercilious admonitions are both unnecessary and rebuked. Now think of something to say to redeem your intelligence.
how am i treating politics like religion?
He didn’t say “like religion.” He said “like a religion.” I’m guessing because for some reason you felt compelled to inject your opinion of Jeb in the article.
The article should have been about “So and so was surprised and fascinated when his watch actually worked as a phone.” But you had to be a jackass and type every little insult you could think to include.
BTW, I’d bet that 80% of the people that talk about the Apple watch call it an iWatch.
No one could have predicted a phone call might have come over a watch during an interview. The watch only has to be right once, you have to be right hundreds of times.
This is actually pretty charming. He just hit a “holy shit I live in the future” moment.
Fucking idiot
