This gold iPhone XS Max-Apple Watch combo is the dumbest way to spend $21,050

It’s an iPhone. It’s an Apple Watch. It’s, um, both. And it costs $21,050.

Yes, Caviar, the Russian company that gave us the golden Vladimir Putin iPhone, just dropped the Swiss Dreams Watchphone.

In case you’re wondering, that’s an iPhone XS Max covered in gold and decorated with a world map for some reason. Attached is an Apple Watch Series 4, with the added convenience of not being wearable. 

Imagine the kind of person who would buy this monstrosity. Can’t do it? That’s because no reasonable human being on Earth would purchase this thing for $1,000, let alone more than $20,000. An oligarch raised in a Gucci-lined platinum Bugatti would probably think it was a bit much. Read more…

Apple Watch’s ECG feature is already proving its worth

When Apple announced its latest Series 4 Watch with electrocardiogram features, my mom took a sigh of relief, and then proceeded to set a reminder to order one for my dad. That’s because we found out last year, by chance, that he has atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat, often times rapid heart rate […]

The Apple Watch’s ECG feature hasn’t even arrived yet, but there’s already a ‘hack’

Apple prompted many oohs and ahhs when it unveiled its electrocardiogram (ECG) feature for Apple Watch Series 4 in September. At the time, the impressive technical feat was bolstered by the FDA approval Apple had received for this new health feature….

Apple Watch Series 4 up close and hands-on

I’m sure somewhere out there, there’s someone who wants nothing more in this world than a circular Apple Watch. That person, I’m sad to report, was once again disappointed with the outcome of yet another Apple event. Circle-sporting invites and office buildings aside, the squircle works well for Apple, so it’s sticking around for the […]

The Apple Watch Series 4 finally goes edge-to-edge

Guys, isn’t growth beautiful? So proud of Apple for how far it’s come, watch-wise. 😪

At its product event Wednesday, Apple unveiled a brand spankin’ new smartwatch: the Apple Watch Series 4. 

While the Series 3 seriously ramped up the Watch’s abilities by adding GPS and LTE connectivity, the 4 now constitutes the most significant product redesign since the Watch’s original launch in 2015. That’s due to a more efficient size, more powerful guts, and truly impressive health and heart monitoring features —that are now approved by the FDA.

Lets talk specs. The screen size of the Apple Watch has increased by over 30 percent. However, the actual volume of the watch is slimmer than the Series 3. Apple achieved this by decreasing the size of the bezels (the black space around the screen), and by building up to and around the rounded edges of the watch. Read more…
