Yesterday, September 9, Apple unvieled two products to no one’s surprise: A large-format iPhone 6 and the  Watch.

(I’m checking to confirm that I properly rendered the Apple character. Yep.)

It’s about time for a large-format iPhone. Samsung rocked that market early on with the Galaxy Note phone. The current version is the Galaxy Note III, with the Galaxy Note 4 recently announced. Obviously the phone is popular. And Apple didn’t bother aping the S-Pen, which is one Samsung knocked out of the park.

So the iPhone 6 Plus is yet another big phone. Thank you, Apple.

The real shocker is the Apple Watch.

For months now, other manufacturers have made their attempts at wearable mobile technology. The most recent is Motorola, with its Moto 360.

I’ll be frank: All of these iWatch attempts were futile. The manufacturers were basically throwing things against the wall to see what sticks. Either that, or they were waiting for Apple to show everyone how to do it correctly.

It was with technolust that I sat and watched the Apple Watch presentation, streamed live yesterday morning. I don’t know how Apple does it, but they create products that I seriously want to touch. The  Watch is just gorgeous technology. I do not blame the Apple fanboys (and fangirls) for their slobbering admiration of such nifty hardware.

The first new hardware since the passing of Steve Jobs is on par if not below par with past Apple hardware. Sales will skyrocket. The Apple Watch is genius. Apple does it again.

That being said, I find three major faults with the Apple Watch.

The first is that the device is really a peripheral. You need an iPhone to get the most from the Apple Watch. Also, I’m unclear whether the Apple Watch requires a mobile data subscription or, again, whether it merely borrows the iPhone’s Internet access. That answer will come next year when the device is official released.

My second issue is the one I have with all Apple products: Why buy the first one?

I bought the original iPhone for $600 on a contract. Then they dropped the price. Apple will do that again, plus the Apple Watch II is probably coming out sooner than you think. If I were truly into Apple stuff, I would definitely wait for the newer, faster, more stupendous Apple Watch II. Pity all your owners of the feeble original Apple Watch.

Finally, Apple misses the mark. Just like all mobile technology manufacturers, they still have a miniaturized smartphone device. Sure, the Apple Watch’s digital crown is fascinating, but it’s not the proper iWatch interface.

To understand my point, watch this video advertising the Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch:

Do you see the interface? It’s vocal. You talk to the watch. All the examples from fiction have the user talking or vocally interacting with the device.

The true interface for an iWatch device — mobile, wearable technology — is voice only. No touching. Talking.

Someday, some manufacturer may figure that out.
