Just like the iPhone wasn't a smarter phone but a smaller computer, I guess Apple Watch isn't a smarter watch but a smaller iPhone.



The iPhone was a computing device in a form factor that the market was able to relate to as a phone. The Apple Watch is a computing device in a form factor that the market will be able to relate to as a watch.

'Phone' and 'watch' are just entry points. The form factor, UI, and controls will dictate what it actually is. I'm fairly certain, NOT a smaller iPhone.


Not sure I understand. A laptop is a computer device, an iphone is a computer device and now a watch is a computer device.

People wont buy Apple Watch because it's better watch just as they didn't buy the iPhone because it was a better phone.

That is the point I was trying to make.
