Journal WillAffleckUW's Journal: Apple iPhone and Watch today 9
Look, I have an iPhone 5. I've owned iMacs, Mac SE, and my first software I paid for was for the Apple II+.
But I'm not that impressed today.
A watch? Why? Who wears those things? Just look at your phone.
Pay by phone? That was around in the 1980s in Japan and South Korea.
Seriously, what's next, Apple VCRs and Shoulderpads?

They came before - but Apple had them come at the right time.
Goodbye, Fitbit and Nike Fuel.

Shoulder pads with big batteries and solar panels? Then we could all look like we come from the 24th century Romulan Empire!

Now that might make sense.
I kind of have a feeling there will be a wearable iPhone iJacket soon, where the shoulder pads are the batteries, the collar holds the phone, the arms are the keypads, and it's covered with solar PV flex material in obvious places (shoulder, neck, upper arms).
Which is also very Back to the Future 1980s retro.

Solar panels? What for? I thought Apple junkies never went outside anyways. Unless the solar panels can charge off of CFL they might as well not be there.

CFL? Why would they charge off of the Canadian Football League?
Obviously they charge off the LED or Luxurious Energy Devices.

Are you forgetting who you're talking to, [wikipedia.org] here? If anyone knows the true power of the Canadian Football League it would be me, after all I played for them for 12 seasons. If that isn't enough, just ponder who cured my death in 2003.
There are few better sources of power.

I remember back when I considered a coat good is if it could carry 5.25" floppies in the pocket without letting them get wet.
Fashion maven, I was not.

My fave part of my military shirts was you could put 3.5 inch floppies in the shirt pockets.
