There are two words I try to avoid connecting: “greatest” and “challenge.” Clearly I’ve failed. I try to avoid this phrase because it reeks of hyperbole — and yet here I am, typing it out in association with Apple’s utterly mythical “iWatch.” Still, the more I look ahead, the more I realize that Apple’s greatest challenge might be convincing a world that it can produce an iWatch that matters. Consider the abandonment of the watch. As cellphones became more and more ubiquitous, users realized that they told time very well.
Im sure Apple is prototyping different products & services. But I assume Apple creating a Smartwatch is right up there with smart shoe and belt. Apple doesn't bluetooth or tether (not to say they can't) but they seem to be focused on products that leverage their ecosystem and software suite. How does iWatch fit into that role? Really i can but I say not very well. That is why they never bought Nest.
