Title: Retroactive disaster: Not even math can save the Apple Watch Post by: HCK on November 08, 2015, 03:00:15 am Retroactive disaster: Not even math can save the Apple Watch
<article> <section class="page"> <p>You know that Apple Watch on your arm? What if the Macalope told you you don’t own an Apple Watch? You never bought one. It’s not even on your arm.</p><p>Writing for the Forbes contributor network and manufactured hysteria machine, Theo Priestley asks the decidedly non-musical question “Does An Apple Watch Discount Point To Flagging Sales Numbers?” (http://www.forbes.com/sites/theopriestley/2015/11/01/does-an-apple-watch-discount-point-to-flagging-sales-numbers/2/) (Tip o’ the antlers to Elevated Equines (https://twitter.com/ElevatedEquines/status/660984616925294592).)</p><p>Do you even have to ask?</p><p>OK, let’s be honest, if Apple was selling as many as it would like, it probably wouldn’t be offering any kind of a deal related to them. On the other hand, offering $50 off a total purchase of at least $800 (iPhone + Apple Watch) only in California and Massachusetts stores isn’t exactly conducting a fire sale. It's not even smoking. If you were Tom Hanks in Cast Away and standing over this sale you would not be crowing about having made fire.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3001844/gadgets/retroactive-disaster-not-even-math-can-save-the-apple-watch.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Retroactive disaster: Not even math can save the Apple Watch (http://www.macworld.com/article/3001844/gadgets/retroactive-disaster-not-even-math-can-save-the-apple-watch.html#tk.rss_all) |
