The Apple Watch Edition has already sold out in China They aren't saying how many were sold to make it "sold out". It could have been one for all we know, and it could have been sold to the guy who runs the slave labor factory that builds these turkeys.

Apple makes advertising a lot easier by having great products ... :-) ... Most of their stuff is actually made by Samsung. Apple does do it's own software though, which is why they're mostly crap.
To: Cementjungle
Apple has some parts by Samsung, and other parts from elsewhere. They are manufactured by others, yet again.
Samsung can do parts, but they can’t put together a complete consumer product in Apple’s market worth a darn ... LOL ..
That’s the reason why consumers have given Apple has 93% of the smartphone market, as compared to ALL the other Smartphone manufacturers put together!
That’s capitalism and the free market system for you, where profits signal who has given the consumers what they want ... :-) ...

Apple is increasing world-wide, where they recently grabbed over 20%, moving ahead of Samsung!
And in the USA, Apple is over 40%, being the Number one Smartphone manufacturer, and well ahead of Samsung by a large margin! ... :-) ...

I'll stick with my Kromega III
Someday, everyone will own a watch like this. Now, it is available only for the privileged few. The Mogasaki Corproration of Tokyo is honored to announce... Kromega III. [ lightning strikes ] A watch so complex, it takes two people to make it work. One hand wears the watch. The other hand presses the buttons that activate the 100% solid state multi-function digital quartz crystal micro-computer unit. And now, you're ready for the third hand to trigger the light-luminating dial to give you an alphanumeric readout accurate to within 9 a year. It's that simple.
Kromega III. It's like asking a stranger for the time.

Apple is increasing world-wide, where they recently grabbed over 20%, moving ahead of Samsung! Apple's smartphone market share is expected to decline over the next three years.
It's interesting to note that while Apple only enjoyed 13.6% of the world's share of UNITS in 2014, they had 30.4% of sales dollars in 2014. In other words, they charge a lot more for their stuff... despite having similar or even less functionality.
Apple spends a lot in marketing, so their stuff costs a lot to make up for those costs. That's all fine... their choice.

Yet Apple comes in number ONE again in customer satisfaction. Despite making lots of iterations of their computer, people are wildly satisfied.

To: Cementjungle
If the rest of the all the smartphone manufacturers in the world can get by on their 7% of the profits, while Apple, by itself, gets 93% of the profits in the smartphone market ... well ... more power to them ... LOL ...

Apple users don't seem to care that their stuff is generally inferior. They really only care that they can keep up with the neighbors by having the latest Apple thingie.
Besides, if someone gets stuck in the Apple trap by buying one Apple thing (like a PC) they're pretty much stuck having to stick with Apple if they want other devices to interact with what they already have.

That cameras in the same stratospheric Price Range as the high end Apple Watch.

The purpose of business is all about making money ... so when you do it, as Apple has with it getting 93% of the smartphone market’s profits (as compared to all the other manufacturers put together) ... “that’s all she wrote” ... :-) ...
With politics, you’ve a whole other game. They’re not even in the same league with one another.

they charge a lot more for their stuff... despite having similar or even less functionality. You say this because you don't like the Apple OS, it's ecosystem. I love Apple's OS and how all my things integrate. Again, I have to point you back to JD Powers: despite making many versions of their computer, Apple comes in FIRST in customer satisfaction ... way, way beyond that given for its competitors. Check it out sometime.
