Speaker 1
I'm like, yeah, that's what it looked like
Speaker 2
Yeah, I mean, I think that's that's like gosh radical unsurprised like that's that's a good thing When you're introducing new platforms is like an early Which faced it like this SDK is early an early SDK A examples rolling out looking like the thing you saw in person is one of the most radically unsurprising and yet Radically calming things you can feel about a new platform as and obviously developers some people that got the early look at this Were developers and so they saw that and then now they're experimenting with the SDK. It wasn't all press people, right? They definitely did right seed some demos with developers to give them ideas about what to do or just you just basically Broadcast hey, this thing is real into the developer community without the intermediary leader of like you or I saying hey This is great You should know part of those really interesting and now that everybody has the SDK the examples that we're seeing come out of it Feel very much like what we saw which to me means that even though this is an extremely early SDK It's actually quite mature nothing like the Apple Watch SDK, which was just Incredibly janky at launch. It just really does function. It works They're taking it extremely seriously and like everybody was involved in making this SDK It wasn't just an SDK in a box that now has to start talking to other teams across Apple to make it fully functional
Speaker 1
Yeah, and I think that comparing and contrasting with the watch is really interesting I Talk about this all the time. Did they launch Apple watch a year too soon was the pressure of we need to prove to the world? We can launch a new thing after Steve Jobs is gone So high that it kind of forced their hand to do it a year early I think it's questionable and every time I mention it I kind of lean towards yes that they should have waited one more year Just both the hardware and software wise and every time I mention it there's a couple of people out there. I swear to god I if you're listening to this episode people who still have their original Apple watch say they still using it And they still like it and I'm like that's crazy. Yeah, congrats to you You're getting your money's worth out of that watch hold and at this point definitely hold on till series 9 or whatever's coming out So don't yeah build up great now Yeah, but there's people or other people who said no I bought my original and used and maybe not still using it now But used it for years and really liked it. So it's a close call wasn't it wasn't disastrous But the biggest problem as we're talking about software was that the watch kit They made available to third-party developers was entirely different from the SD from the apis that apple itself was using to make the first Party apps on the watch and it was sort of like in layperson's terms Watch kit let like software running on the iPhone sort of paint a watch screen and then sort of tell the watch here show this
Speaker 2
yeah, it was car play for your wrist, right?
