Fun fact: back when the original Apple Watch was being developed, Apple internally produced something similar for people secretly working on it to pretend it wasn’t a new product category. It was more or less a silicon sleeve that would show a fake keyboard. I may or may not still have one 0:-)

Ah, someone earlier posted a link to a youtube of it, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out why they had used it, I had assumed maybe the interface needed work still or something. I didn't realize it was just to keep people from realizing it was a watch, that's kind of brilliant.


ok that's crazy :) and super interesting! also it makes me think there must be so much secrecy, paranoia and politics within apple

any other juicy stories??
