To be fair, every single Apple product since 2000 has been laughed at when first announced/released.
2 years later, people can't live without the product they once scoffed at.
I'm not defending Apple, I hate them for what they did with Nostr zaps. But it is a really interesting phenomenon that other companies don't share. I'm talking EVERY product too. Starting with the first iMac. The iPhone was criticized hard at first. The iPad was absolutely laughed off stage. People thought the watch only came out because Apple had nothing left to innovate on.... etc.
I don't know man, this is totally different ball game. I mean do you have a need for it? I do not personally, nor apple watch. The idea of sending my heart rate to Apple is a bit concerning from many privacy perspectives yet we started treating this as "normal". To me it ain't nothing normal about it but to each his own. A phone, especially revolutionary as iPhone was slightly different. Personal computer is a business tool and we need those. Without them, life is a little more inconvenient methinks. Vision or watch, I can easily live without but that's me.
