We're living in interesting times, not just politically.
Apple announced a revolution in wearables, payments and, by consequence, BYOD. They talked about simplicity, user friendliness, innovation.... the usual.
I usually regarded Apple as a reference for design, now I think they lost their mojo.
Apple Watch is boring, it doesn't stand out from the crowd. They should have asked Jaeger-LeCoultre to design their smartwatch, not Jon Ive.
But that's my personal opinion, definitely subjective.
My first and foremost concern is more business oriented. As mentioned earlier, BYOD is the leit-motiv of the moment, so that, from a business perspective, I wonder how these new devices will fit into an enterprise environment and how their adoption would impact on the IT.
Aside from battery concerns (should I suggest my IT department to ask for budget increase due to charger stations need in my offices?), there was not a single mention to security.
While whole community is wonders how secure the Apple ecosystem is, voilà, Apple presents a payment system.
If I can't trust Apple to keep my photo collection safe, how am I supposed to allow them to hold my credit cards?
Furthermore, what about my documents, most of them attachments from business emails?
Security is about trust, not faith. Faith doesn't need proof by definition, trust must be earned.
Apple is asking users to have faith, which worries me a lot.
