PODCAST: Talking About Apple's Somewhat Confusing Apple Watch Presentation

Now that Apple has announced its new iPhones, and its new Apple Watch, I spoke with Farhad Manjoo of the New York Times about what we saw.

We talk briefly about the iPhone 6, but spend the majority of our time focused on the Apple Watch, which had a somewhat weak presentation. 

We're working on getting this podcast into iTunes so you can just download it straight to your phone. Until then, you can listen below, or you can listen at SoundCloud.

And here are some links to stories we talk about:

  • Benedict Evans: "With the iPhone 6 and iOS8, Apple has done its best to close off all the reasons to buy high-end Android beyond simple personal preference."
  • Benjamin Clymer at Hodinkee: A watch guy's take on the Apple Watch
  • Ben Thompson at Stratechery: "We never got an explanation of why the Apple Watch existed, or what need it is supposed to fill. What is the market? Why does Apple believe it can succeed there? What makes the Apple Watch unique?"
  • Ben Thompson at Stratechery: " How I thought Tim Cook should have introduced the Watch."
