Yuma,
When the iPhone first came out, I had a hard time believing a blind
person could use a touch screen when it eventually began to be made
accessible.
But at some point, I began to consider the merits of an iPhone. Then
the time came for me to replace an old cell phone and I got the iPhone
5. Its now just over 2 years old and I am far from needing to look at
newer models. I can see still using it 2 years from now, barring any
unforseen incidents.
The Apple Watch may well meet the needs of some people., Its not in
my future. It sounds cool but that is as far as I go with it.
If I out some thougt into it, I could come up with many products I
was "forced" to buy but that was not my point.
What you are saying is like buying some ground beef. Oh now I am
forced to buy a skillet so I can cook it. (smiles)

Hi Believer,
Rightly said, however here’s a few points.
there’s a product called usb to thunderbolt converter I’m forced to buy
because i bought an apple product. Not saying this because I don’t like
it, but its a design decision against standards that one or other
company forces which forces me, the end of the food chain, to buy
because I have other products which I use which are not compatible. All
a matter of choice, and choice we have yet don’t have. you know why?
Simply because we’re visually impaired and are restricted to what is
available. I’m sure if you or i were sighted, we could very well be
happy with a chromebook or an android.
I reported this via mail because I was actually infuriated by the big
gap between what was presented to me during the apple keynote and what I
felt touched and heard from the apple store. And the freaking price.
Same price as an iphone 6 64 gigs. Food for thought. And if you look at
the reviews, they are mixed already, not unanimous like other quote
unquote revolutionary products such as iphone or the good iteartive
outings of macbooks and airs. So its more of a warning to others than my
personal I think yada blahbbling.
Cheers,
Yuma Antoine Decaux

What I find so very interesting is how these types of discussions go
on and on about new products, how some people state they would never
buy it, yada yada yada.
At the end of the day, what is the point? Don't like it? Its too
heavy. Too big. Too expensive. Too small. Too cheap.
Name a product that you are forced against your will to buy. Name one.
I am not going to buy the Apple Watch simply because I have no need
for a watch. Who cares? No one cares. Right and I don't care if some
of you do not want to buy it either for any reason. Its not important.
The Apple Watch may well be a nice product. But it sure as hell is
not a "must-have" product. Mankind has survived without it for
thousands of years. (smiles)

Come on, guys. It’s a small device that you can wear on the wrist.
Don’t you see any potential there at all? The remote control you’ve
always wanted?
Doesn’t a new remote control interfere with the narrative that
people are sitting too much?
The around-the-house communications device for the friends and
family while your phone is docked and not weighing you down? Even the
need for an iPhone is not so much of a deal, if the watch proves
useful outdoors, because any place that you would go already sees you
needing the phone for phone functions, regardless; your watch will
always tether to a local phone, wherever you happen to be.
So, we are supposed to want to buy a new iPhone, but we aren’t
supposed to want to have to touch it. We need to git a watch so we
don’t actually have to directly use our new iPhones. I still am
finding their messaging confusing..
So I preordered. I’ll take the leap. Why not? It might just be my
imagination, but even now I have more fondness for my iPods than my
iPhone as a music player—what’s to say the watch won’t make some of
the things that are made clumsy by the need to pull out my phone and
that I do all the time more enjoyable?
You don’t want to have to handle your new iPhone.
Actually, I think that there are applications that a wearable would
make easier to use. But, I think those applications are limited.
, yes, I do think something has changed in the way Apple prioritises
things; this product seems far more strained, for lack of a better
word, and that may well be the result of executive decision-making
that tends towards company growth rather than user satisfaction.
It looks to me like Apple trying to emulate Google.
Well, anyway, I’m especially looking forward to handling incoming
notifications while I’m on the toilet. :)
Wow! Now I’m listening.
