You see, but you do not observe.

the thin keyboard problem is made worse on the 2016 MacBook because of the clamshell design which lets dust get into the machine even when fully closed...

Also the Apple TV YouTube app doesn’t have any options lol, like literally you can’t like/subscribe/add videos to your account. extremely poo poo

who even wants an apple watch anyways

seems like a really stupid product. wearable technology always bombs

you mean literally the largest watch company in the world by revenue, Apple Inc, and their stupid product that makes more money than companies that sell watches that cost more than a car? I wish I could bomb like that.

just the Apple Watch by itself overtook Rolex this year to become the number one watch maker in the world by revenue.

who cares?
apple is the most profitable PC maker by far, despite only selling a fraction of world wide sales
apple is the most profitable phone maker by far, despite only selling a fraction of world wide sales
apple is the most profitable tablet maker by far, ...
apple is the most profitable wearable/smartwatch maker by far, ...

Rolex and the other Swiss brands may be more profitable. they definitely don’t sell as many units as Apple does. but Apple doesn’t sell anywhere near the number of Casio terrorist watches that are sold worldwide.

During Apple’s recent iPhone X keynote, CEO Tim Cook noted that Apple Watch has overtaken Rolex to become the biggest watchmaker in the world, although the company still refuses to reveal any actual sales numbers.

According to analysts at Asymco analyst Horace Dediu, Apple has likely sold around 15 million Watches in the past 12 months at an average price of around $330. Rolex, meanwhile, produces around 1 million watches a year, with average cost per watch being in the region of $4,700. Added up, that makes the Apple Watch revenue run rate $4.9 billion, compared to Rolex’s $4.7 billion.

if analysts are to be believe (i know), apple has a strong majority share of the smartwatch segment, and the largest share of the wearable segment as a whole (though nowhere a majority). as it turns out, no one actually wants android watches

very hard to estimate the bill of materials on such custom hardware, but Apple usually shoots for 35-40% gross margin.

topping a luxury watch brand by n+1 units sold isn't a particularly huge accomplishment when they don't sell a whole lot of watches these days thanks to china cracking down on bribery

the real story for the iwatch is that someone discovered a use case for it and that use case is cheating in baseball
