@marcoarment you know what’s even worse? Imagine that we will have to replace **Watch** each and every year. Just like iPhone.

@marcoarment I await it with bated breath! I do however think that iOS and OS X are due for "Snow Leopard" updates.

@marcoarment more specifically their QA team.

@marcoarment it’s also going to take a toll on retail.

@marcoarment I think your beginning to move towards the other side ?

@marcoarment watchKit is their most complete release ever - docs, hig, video, guides etc. all is there, day 1. iOS 8.0 paid that price.

@marcoarment you could lean more heavily on server side, but you said if starting today you’d use iCloud Drive. Maybe neat 2 explore on ATP?

@marcoarment that toll is already being paid, which might be part of the quality issues. Thus, you might as well be excited

@marcoarment maybe the watch will be a good thing. It's new and shiny for the press and hopefully all other teams just fix

@marcoarment Yes. Finally someone with influence speaks. I think it’s the worst thing for all other Apple products. Apple has corporate ADD.

@marcoarment I think the watch has taken a toll (engineering, marketing). I think Apple has already lost a year of development and focus.

@marcoarment Apple know all this.But had to stretch to iOS 8 & Yosemite for extensions etc because of the watch & the need for a new product

@marcoarment strange to saw "greatly strained resources" for one of the worlds richest companies; but it's not a money problem. More QA?

@marcoarment do you see yourself developing for the watch though?

@marcoarment agreed the network stack on iOS / OS X is appalling

@marcoarment Most relevant and appropriate unfortunate truth about Apple. iOS/OSX are a total mess. And what IS the point of an iWatch?

@marcoarment focus is an inherently finite resource.

@marcoarment I'm not a programmer, but I'm concerned about this, the answer to diminishing quality isn't an expanded diverse product line.
