I am going to sue Apple because the battery life on this imaginary rumor product is not acceptable. 

You don't need to be a genius to know that a small wearable computer will have battery life issues at the current state of the art, but Apple has a long history of not releasing a product before it has a reasonable UX, which certainly includes battery life. Four to 5 days would be great but I don't think 2 to 3 days wouldn't be bad.



Off Topic: Why aren't we calling these Ive Strong bracelets?

Wait, this report says the watch effort is being led by Ive.  The Bloomberg report a few weeks back said someone on Mansfield's team was in charge of the project.  Is this just a disinformation campaign from Apple or speculation and rumors from people who aren't really in the know?

BS rumor about a BS device rumor.

"I am going to sue Apple because the battery life on this imaginary rumor product is not acceptable."

I rule in your favor, force Apple to put "Nobody Copies Us" on their homepage in 64 bold font, and also announce my new unrelated job as a highly paid...person at Samscum.

So a rumor about the prototype for a rumored product isn't perfect. It doesn't have the rumored battery life.

Isn't that why there are prototypes in the first place.

This sounds more like hit whoring hype to me. Someone sees the patents, claims it's real and currently in progress. But said person doesn't want to look like idiot when it doesn't happen, at least any time soon. So trumps up this outrageous spec and says there are issues. That way no one will be shocked when it's 'delayed'.

Anyone know more about the history of the Verge and if rumors they've reported on in the past (not just about Apple) turn out to be accurate?   Seems this is one of those where there's smoke there's fire.

I don't really care about the rumor, I care more about whoever is leaking this crap, if it's true.

Just who are these people in the know who have seen and tried an Apple prototype watch that Apple is reportedly developing, and why would they be leaking details about it? An Apple employee? I doubt that, because they would be fired in about two seconds if that were the case, and I'm pretty sure that Apple employees must sign NDAs. An outsider? Who, a journalist? I doubt that too many people have seen the alleged watch, so Apple should be able to know who the leaker is.

If this rumor were true, then Apple needs to tighten up it's security, as I've always been saying. Heads need to roll.

I knew that Josh used to claim his source told him, right after SJ unveiled iCloud at WWDC, that it will not have web apps. The rest is, as they say, history. :)

Boy is really going down AAPL today! 422$
