With the market for wearables being currently much smaller than anyone expected, I admire Apple for sticking with it.
Microsoft didn’t, and yet again abandoned a promising product line in the band, rather than investing in it.
I wonder what Satya’s master plan is?
Probably just cloud everywhere.
Not a bad plan I suppose, but ask Apple how it feels having the vast majority of your income come from one product.
You’d think Microsoft would already be wise to this having stood by to watch Windows become less relevant as the world moved on to the mobile platforms they largely overlooked.
Band was only ever going to be a bit player, but it could have been another piece of the services puzzle to pull people in.
Possibly a bit like Apple is doing with their watch.
Now we’ll never know, apart from watching Apple continue to innovate and iterate with their Watch.
Haven’t we seen this happen before?
