Can someone enlighten me on what happened last time?
I must have missed it first time round.

I was excited about this until the leaked pictures from iCloud surfaced.
I just don't want hackers leaking pictures of my gooch to the press.

Surely apple don't do big phones as Steve Jobs said he hated them, they looked like skateboards and apple had already found the 'perfect' size with iPhone. Or not.

I was hoping the announcement would be something along the lines of opportunities for their employees.
Maybe not.

!! Their website still says £119 (which is still a steal for what it does). At £59 I would be almost inclined to buy another one and keep it in its box until mine packs up. Anyone got an objective view on what an iPhone does that this (and presumably other smart phones) can't do to make them such a "must have"?

That article is over two and a half years old. Apple lead the way in employee welfare - https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/labor-and-human-rights/

However...
Neither link works on me Samsung for unobvious reasons.
Have Apple sorted out their suicide problem? The company statement will, of course, point towards doing the right thing, but multinationals have been doing that for years.

Really looking forward to this...
I expect the iWatch to have a slot for a sim card, so it will be a capable standalone device, capable of viewing photos and videos from Facebook, making and receiving calls as well as being a reliable reminder for taking of medication, or reminders about your work day. However, I expect a big part of the presentation to push the health / fitness capabilities. Probably a 8gb hard drive with two screen sizes and will be priced around £329 and £399.

they released a phone that caught up with the competition and a "budget" version that cost twice as much as other budget phones. the biggest story was they completly redesigned the look and feel of the UI from somthing pretty decent to a confusing and flat icon set.
you just described a 2x4" device. or, a phone on a wrist strap. imagine having to hold you arm as if to read the time for several minutes... try it. you reckon anyones going to watch video, or do anything that requires more than a second or two glance?
