Apple Watch now available to pick up in stores,but not Ireland. #Apple

Apple has signalled that the highly priced watch will be now available to pick up in store,for Irish buyers that’s not the case but for the UK its a green light.Irish buyers still have to use the usual channels to get their hands on the gadget.With some luck that MIGHT change as apple seems to have sorted out their inventory of stock but I doubt it will,so its up to the north or use parcel…

Gruber: >Amir Efrati, writing for The Information (paywall): >>Apple doesn’t want to risk cannibalizing sales of the iPhone with a SIM-equipped watch. >That’s not why Apple Watch doesn’t have a SIM card or standalone Wi-Fi. Modern Apple has never been afraid to release products that cannibalize their own products. The iPad has clearly eaten into MacBook sales. The iPhone turned the iPod from Apple’s flagship product line into a small niche. (A company worried about cannibalization would have made a smartphone that required a tethered iPod for music playback.) >A few years down the line, I expect Apple to have a Watch that can replace your iPhone. The tech just isn’t there yet. Apple is already setting expectations for single-day battery life for the Apple Watch, at best. Adding cellular networking would make that significantly worse — and add physical heft.
