“It’s been five months since Apple launched a new line of band options for the Apple Watch alongside the Apple Watch Series 2 and iPhone 7 last September,” Mitchel Broussard reports for MacRumors.
“Now, Apple.com has a few notable stock shortages of Series 2 bundles and — to a lesser extent — single band options for the Apple Watch, likely indicating an incoming spring collection of Apple Watch bands,” Broussard reports. “New Apple Watch hardware is expected for later in 2017.”

Simmer down comrad, the election is over, you’re prolly not getting paid to troll anymore.
Which reminds me, a utilitarian red rubber band with lets hug a Ruskie on it might play rather well in the corridors of power at the moment. Doesn’t need to last long I suspect.
They gettin’ the band together?

Talk about adding salt to a wound.

Thats why I’ve been helping folks transition off Macs. News like this doesn’t bother them AND they have the option of using the latest graphic cards as soon as they’re available.
Just goes to show you that Apple is now a fashion company. Just like designer clothes, it is pretty amazing to see people gobble up these bands and new bands. Oh well, whatever works for them to line their and their shareholders pockets. After all, it is still a business.
