Can someone explain why I need something on my wrist that requires an IPhone also be in my pocket?

Is pulling an Iphone out of your pocket that big a hassle?

No one has yet come up with an adequate answer to this (for Android watches as well)

Saves time and battery. I can be at the gym with my phone in my locker or my gym bag across the room and I can see alerts and control my phone.

Also it's a watch. Why does anybody wear a watch?

It's like a homescreen for people who don't want to get out their phone and pull down the shade. I can get behind that to an extent, because I absolutely appreciate the convenience of the home screen (not having to unlock phone).

That being said, I mean... I get that it's convenient, but it's not $400 worth of convenience.

Any watch you buy that's worth anything will run you that much. If you don't wear a watch at all I get it, it's probably not for you. But if you drop four or five hundy on a watch anyways might as well get one that also syncs with your phone and get more out of it.

Yeah. But if I buy a Shinola, it's a timeless (haha) timepiece. The iwatch will probably be outdated and shitty (or at least feel that way) after a few years.

Apple isn't saying that.

Umm I believe that was from an Apple press release. May be wrong but if so the article misquoted it.

They've been referring to their mobile processors as SoC's since around 2010.

Don't get me wrong, I use and like Apple stuff and am considering getting one of these. Make of it what you will, but the text I quoted was pulled directly from their site:

Oh i get that...AC just took that to mean that Apple is claiming that it has invented the concept of a SoC.

Please explain to us what this line means then...

Configuring an entire computer system on a single chip is an industry first
Because to anyone with a decent grasp of English it sounds like they are claiming exactly that.

Yeah, I see that. My point was that they've been referring to a "system on a chip" since the A4 in 2010. I don't know what makes the S1 different.
