TODAY IS APPLE DAY

Drop whatever you’re doing. Cancel your appointments. Apple is set to unveil its latest iPhone device, as well as an iWatch (no Patek). As soon as the phone and watch are released, hounds will scurry about the landscape in an effort to smash them into pieces, in order to see the component parts inside of it.

Rumor has it that silicon on sapphire is being used on the new phone, replacing stupid gorilla glass. GTAT is the vendor. RBCN is another supplier; however, that company is run by ‘true apes’ and haven’t been able to make anything out of their lives–thus far.

My question to you today is this, and it is the same question I keep asking myself–being an Apple man and all:

WILL YOU BUY AN iWATCH AND DO YOU REALLY NEED ONE?

Mrs. Fly quizzed me as to why I needed one, being a regular consumer of high end watches and all. My answer to her was very simple: “I need to buy it because I am Dick Tracy. Do not question my authoratai” (extra Cartman).

    Fade AAPL on the news. Apple has not come out with anything unique since the iphone over 5 years ago. All they have done is make it larger with the ipad, and now they are making it smaller with the iWatch.

    The only reason this company is still relevant is because of stupid consumers like Le Fly who buy everything they own because everyone else on the block is buying one.

      In the Oxford dictionary, under the word “moron” is a picture of you and your family.

      “…who buy everything they own because everyone else on the block is buying one” << and this is your reasoning for calling "Fade AAPL"? Lol, thanks for the tip!

      I agree that they will eventually fall without Jobs, but irrational hate will just make you lose money.

    Love the phones. Mrs. Trent J and I have the 5s, a superpowered MacBook pro, two iPads and apple TV. Although the watch is interesting and I will probably want one, I was born with skinny wrists and this Breitling Superavenger of mine already weighs my arm down.

    What’s a watch? I just wrap an iphone around my wrist. Why would anyone buy an Iwatch unless they dig gadgets?

    Fly being Dick Tracy and all needs the watch to fight juvenile delinquency, graft and organized crime in Princeton.
    One never knows when Bookie Joe or CueBall will appear in the leafy neighborhoods.
    PS This make Mrs. Fly Mrs. Tracy a/k/a Tess Trueheart.

    If they could make the watch as amazing as some of the concept images we have seen I would be ALL over it! It will come. It will be our wallet, phone and timepiece made from curved sapphire with beautifully sculpted edges…but I doubt this is it. I think AAPL needs to work on cloning Jobs DNA as a priority over larger phones

    Look, if the watch looks okay and isn’t sort of Samsungie looking, I’ll buy one. It will also be compelling if you can put Visa and Amex through it. Health stuff could be great too.

    Apple should be getting into the healthcare diagnostic business. Shocked that they do not have a their own diabetic monitoring technology yet.

      i agree that’s shocking they are not still officially entered the healthcare business though, as the iphone seems the most appealing device for personal healtcare combined use

    I wear Nixon surf watches and Oakley sunglasses. Probably won’t be able to read the iWatch in the sunshine.

    I suppose glancing at the watch for notifications would be less idiotic than pulling the phone out my pocket every 5 minutes or just staring that the thing like a moron like I currently do.
