Wait what? I thought thy bumped up the front camera. Guess not.

Sport watch has better color options than the Watch...but using lighter casing, Ion-X glass instead of sapphire to keep the weight down.
Think I will go for the regular ol' watch. even though I'd rather have silver or space grey instead of black.
As for the phone...ATT says I can upgrade through NEXT...which I don't really want to do. And it alls says partial upgrade...which is that BS upgrade.
Gazelle is currently giving $335 for the 5S (64gb) unlocked...$285 locked. They say you can unlock it via ATT if you sell through them, takes 2-5 days.
Not sure if selling via gazelle would offset the purchase enough of an unlocked phone to make it worth it, so I'll wait. I also want to see the 4.7 and 5.5 in person. Since there isn't a big difference in internals between the two I'm pretty torn on which I'd rather have without being able to physically hold them.

Can't store apps in the cloud.
Dropping 32 for 16 is just plain stupid for consumers. Doing so for profit is a win though. No one is going to get the 16, damn near forcing people to spend the extra 100 bucks. Way to go Apple.
I got a 16g iPad and every time I go to try and update it, wish I got the 32g. I have zero music, hardly any photos (less than 100 megs if I had to guess). The rest is apps. So I have to delete a bunch of apps just to update the damn thing.

They are definitely going after an upmarket crowd with the apple watch edition.

Maybe.. The people that are completely clueless and just want a new iPhone.. You're probably right.. But in this day and age, 16g is not enough, no matter which way you slice it. I hardly use my iPad and have managed to fill it up.
I personally wouldn't even consider a 16g device.
I'd even be willing to put money on it that said people that get the 16g device will end up kicking themselves a few months into their purchase.

I have 64gb for my phone and Im at 56.6gb full...Id prefer 128...photo files are getting bigger and so are apps, but I, too, don't have a ton of apps. All my music is on iTunes match and I stream it. I do have somethings to go through and delete at the moment which will open more space.
Its really photos/video that eat space.

Agreed, based on price and the fact that a LOT of people don't want to store all their photos and music on the thing... They want a cool new phone.
I don't store tons of stuff on my phone, have maybe 50 apps total... 8GB left of the total 16...

I'm sick of deleting shlt to make room. And yes I look thru my old pictures and videos.
Heavily debating 128GB
Personally, I would be afraid to have that all in one easily lost place and NOT backed up to cloud storage, etc, in which case you could purge it and start fresh monthly.
So I launched itunes and it says the U2 cd is already purchased... but it isn't in my purchased items list, and there is no way for me to re-purchase/dload the songs. Will it speak Chinese to me soon?

Leather cases for the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 are priced at $45, while leather cases for the 5.5-inch version are priced at $49. Silicone cases for the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 are priced at $35, and 5.5-inch silicone cases are $39.
I'll probably get one until magpul puts out a case.
Apple has a new range of iCloud Storage Plans available with prices that are highly competitive with other cloud storage companies. Customers will continue to get 5GB of storage for free, with 20GB available for $0.99 per month.
200GB of storage costs $3.99 per month, and 500GB is $9.99 per month. Apple's top tier storage, 1TB, costs just $19.99 per month, slightly more than Dropbox's new $9.99/month price for 1TB storage.

Dammit I finally purchased more iCloud storage too.
