Today it was revealed that the Gold Apple Watch will cost $10,000 base price and up to $17,000 for the larger size with a fancy strap. Instead of buying one and wondering what to do next year when the Apple Watch 2 comes out you could…
Get a new car like the 2015 Kia Forte 4dr Sdn Man LX which will cost you less than the watch above at only $16,690. If Kia isn’t your style you could easily get a used luxury car for around the same price.

Apple Watch
Apple already released a great deal deal of information on the Apple Watch but they left some important details out. The most sought out question has to be the price of the gold watch and how much it will cost. Many speculate it will go for between $2,000 and $15,000 trying to rival other luxury brands.
Since the previous event, Apple has been featured in Vogue and other magazines trying to appeal as a fashion statement.
Apple is also selling straps separately and the prices on those are still unknown.
iOS 8.2
It is expected that iOS 8.2 will drop between tomorrow and when the Apple watch is sold. iOS 8.2 will be required for use with the Apple Watch and will come with a companion app that will help mange your watch from your iPhone.
Here are some screenshots from iOS 8.2 beta showcasing the companion app.
Retina Macbook Air
Apple is also rumored to unveil a refresh for some of their Macbook lineups. A retina Macbook Air has been rumored for a long time however it still could be a while longer before Apple is ready to show off more details. We will see when the event starts in a few hours. We will be blogging live answering all the questions during the event tomorrow.
A new site was created for those who are excited for the Apple Watch coming on Monday and want to see what are the customizations would look like. MixYourWatch lets you try out every combination of strap and casing so you can see what looks the best before investing your money, specially since the Edition watch will most likely costs thousands and straps surely won’t be cheap.
As we already know Apple will be releasing three versions of the case Steel, Aluminium, and Gold. There are three types of straps, however many of them work differently.

Apple has been working on many new versions of iOS to work with all their new products including iOS 8.2 which is expected next Monday. Thats right, reports from BGR state that Apple will release the new version of iOS on the date of the spring Apple event which makes perfect sense.
It is rumored that Apple will unveil more information on the Apple Watch including a release date which hopefully will be soon after. iOS 8.2 will most likely be required for iPhone owners that are interested in using the Apple Watch as it will contain the syncing software that will help it run.
As for jailbreaking nothing is known yet about 8.2, however, the Chinese have been on the game and able to release new versions of PanGu and TaiG quickly after their exploits are patched. It wouldn’t be surprising if a new jailbreak for 8.2 was to come out weeks later but by upgrading you will lose your current jailbreak and take the risk.

The Apple logo is iconic and used frequently by fans, but if you’re looking to type the Apple logo () on an iPhone or iPad you won’t find it in the standard keyboard options or special characters. Indeed, for the time being anyway, the Apple logo does not have an easily accessible character option in the iOS keyboard (it probably deserves a place in the Emoji keyboard at least). That doesn’t mean you can’t type out the Apple icon from an iOS device though, you’ll just need to use one of the following tricks.
If you plan on using the Apple logo often, the text replacement trick is probably the best choice for iOS devices. This is pretty easy too, here’s what you’ll want to do:
Text replacement also offers a quick way to type out complex emoji sequences and other lengthy text blocks, which has a wide variety of purposes.
This is obviously easy to write out once it’s set up, but unlike typing out the Apple logo on a Mac, it’s not just a matter of a simple keystroke sequence.
For what it’s worth, there are a few other ways to type the Apple logo on an iPhone or iPad as well, though they’re not necessarily any easier than the above approach.
Similar to adding the Emoji keyboard, you can add the Japanese Kana keyboard which is full of special characters, and which uses a text to character replacement ability, to write out the Apple logo when you want to type it on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Is this any easier than using the keyboard replacement shortcut trick? I don’t think so, unless you happened wanting to use the Japanese Kana keyboard anyway, but perhaps you think otherwise.
