    The fact that they did a launch of a new product line without another keynote talk tells me they know it is not a consumer level device yet. We will likely see them hype up the gen 2/3 version once some killer app feature is developed or they release a more affordable tier. Like the Apple Watch was a bit unanchored until it leaned into the heath tech. You are right Apple doesn’t normally abandon product lines so hopefully they work through it and figure out a mass market appeal.

      The limited production numbers indicate that too. They’re essentially banking on using fanboys (no negative connotation here) to beta test and see what they gravitate towards, and where it shines. Then like the health stuff for the watch, they’ll capitalize on whatever the standout becomes and sort of cater development around it for mass appeal.
