MacDailyNews Take: Still want in on an original model of one of the coolest devices available today?
So the reality is it isn’t REALLY $49 when taking all costs into consideration.
Click bate headline.
No it really is. It just boils down to buy an iPhone, get an Apple Watch almost freeeee!
that is what’s known as marketing…. or perhaps less generously as “bait and switch”
nere the less, if you want one bad enough…..
Not even close to ‘bait and switch’. An example of ‘bait and switch’ is like advertising a car for a really low price, getting the customer in, telling them that one is gone and switching them to something more expensive.
well, not to put too fine a point on it, but..
don’t they advertise the watch for a low price and then tell you in order to get that low price you have to buy something else too? that just happens to be more considerably expensive than the watch they used to get your attention ?
i think it qualifies, even if by a whisker.
of course to put a more generous spin on it you might try to call it a loss leader, but a loss leader is a product priced at a low price – which you pay and get that product, regardless of whether you buy another item or not.
Nope. Pedro is right.
Bait and switch is getting you to come into store by advertising one thing and then selling you something different (usually more expensive or with a higher markup) instead of what was advertised.
Bait and switch would be they advertise an AppleWatch at $49, and when you get there claim they are out of stock, and offer you a Samsung (or whatever copycat) at the same price.
This AppleWatch deal is simple, fairly typical promotional marketing… an enticement to buy a new iPhone.
I saw the deal in a BB email and the terms are pretty evident. No illegible 5 point fine print. Nobody is going to be deluded, fooled or taken advantage of and compelled to unwittingly buy an iPhone… unless they’re a moron.
Apple watch is worth just that, $49. Apple is basically charging a premium so that they can make people think that it is a niche product. Apple would make more sales by cutting the price of apple watch to $49 or $99 with the plastic band, it is not worth more than that.
You obviously don’t have one.
Goofball non-Apple Watch owner makes doofus comment beyond his ken. Not the first time it’s happened.
Duh!!
This ‘Duh!’ should have been a reply to trondude.
The judicial application of “Duh!’s” should always be careful applied. 🙂
They have to get rid of inventory somehow.
Not interested, for even 49 cents.
I’d take one if I had a 6S, but nope, still just a six, and waiting on the seven to upgrade.
