What I saw during the presentation, an on Apple's website was that the Apple Watch requires iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. Scant details on why, or what happens if you buy an Apple Watch without an iPhone 6.

So it's not REALLY a $349, it's a $349+$299 device if you don't already have an iPhone 6...
Or you already have a 5, 5S or 5C
Not if I want to use ALL of the features of my new $349 accessory, apparently... Unless I'm misreading, of course.

It's out of my price range in any case....
Still want one, but think that the "planned obsolescence" railroading is getting a little heavy handed.
