Look out Apple and Samsung.

The iphone 5S has an increased display size and is going to have an option for even bigger ones, looks like Apple has learned from their superior competition.

Dunno where you got that idea. The 5S will be exactly the same display size as the 5. The 5 was bigger than the previous iPhones - is that what you meant? The 5 had a 4" screen, compared to the 3.5" screen in all the others. But it was still thinner and lighter than the 4S.

As for the "superior competition", it constantly makes me laugh to see bigger screen sizes referred to as "innovation". Seriously? I can see shrinking something, while making it have the same or better abilities, as innovation. I can see improving the resolution on a screen as innovation (e.g retina). But can you really call slapping a bigger screen on something "innovation"?

The cost benefit analysis of that crap does not seem very useful. Why would I give a shit about my heartbeat unless I am a long distance runner? Having to buy and wear a tacky piece of electronics on my wrist to save me the 2 seconds it takes to glance at my phone and see if the new message indicator light is blinking light does not seem very appealing to me. Hell, I quit wearing a watch (unless it is a suit accessory) years ago because it was redundant when I was carrying around a phone all the time.

I haven't worn a watch for years either.

But using the FitBit made me realize the benefit of biometrics, or more importantly, connected biometrics. The FitBit tracks how many steps you've made each day, how many floors you've climbed, how long you slept, etc. I couldn't really care about any of that just to look at it, but it puts it all online, and you can link to other people's and view leaderboards, etc. I'm pretty competitive (and I'm guessing since this a gaming board so is everyone else), and making sure I stayed ahead of my wife gave me a great incentive to exercise more. Until I lost it...

Putting lipstick on a pig does not change the fact that it is a pig. It's going to be awesome to watch either this thing crash and burn or all the Apple fanbois looking even sillier as they are talking to their ugly overpriced watch and getting lost from shitty directions.

You saw Maul's quotes - even without the iWatch, there are expected to be millions of these smart watches sold for Android, Nokia, etc. So there will be plenty of people looking stupid, Apple fans or not.
