Apple will no longer fix the $17,000 gold Apple Watch
The gold Apple Watch Edition was a completely different luxury watch flex.

The irony of building something so expensive, opulent and heirloom worthy around one of the most rapidly depreciating assets you can buy (technology)
I mean, a 17k$ (back then) workstation from the 90s would still be fine. People love their SGI and Sun machines.
Not sure how much they did cost back then, I was born in 1996, but you get the idea.
A $17k workstation from the 90's would not even be able to browse the internet.
To put it in perspective, we didn't even have multi-core CPUs until the mid 2000's, a mid 90's machine would have around 400 MHz on a single core and that's being generous.
I'm well aware of what these are capable of, these things are not bought for your Twitter and Reddit activities.
You'd be able to upgrade the insides while still looking opulently golden.
And yet a $17k apple power Mac g5 today barely functions for YouTube

Oh, thank you for educating me.
I mean is at the end is a watch... at worst case the basic function will work. Although I admit that the battery is still a problem in this case. And that's even if you look at the hour and isn't just an accessory that you barely use it's function.
Once the batteries of those things die (and they will die in short order) they are completely useless. Just small black bricks with a hint of gold on the outside.
Yeah with that I agree as I said.
