If you have three phones, you don\u2019t ever have to worry about running out of battery.  I mean, it\u2019s not even a factor.  You don\u2019t even think about it.  Yes siree, Bob, greetings, and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.  I was just telling these guys, I just got confirmation I\u2019m gonna be receiving one and maybe two Apple Watches tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_105147\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/FANCYWATCH.jpg\"\/><BR\/>And I don\u2019t even care.  If it were iPhones&#8230; When it\u2019s three weeks before an iPhone release, I am pounding the pavement. I\u2019m shaking the bushes. I try to get at least 15 of \u2019em with the hope of getting one on launch day.  In this case, I haven\u2019t lifted a finger to get a watch, and here I\u2019ve learned just now, just during the break that I\u2019ve got two coming. (interruption) No, Snerdley, they\u2019re not the gold things. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>These are the cheap models.  You see, that\u2019s the thing.  It doesn\u2019t matter. Cheap or expensive, they\u2019re all the same in terms of the consumer electronics.  You know, Apple&#8230; Speaking of which, I have to mention this. I don\u2019t understand this marketing at all.  They have been saying for the last month that you cannot walk into a store and buy a watch on what their supposed launch day was, which is tomorrow. You just can\u2019t do it. <\/p>\n<p>They haven\u2019t made enough.  They\u2019re not making a lot.  They\u2019re waiting to see what people want rather than make a lot of every type and model and combo so they don\u2019t eat up a lot of capital creating inventory.  So they\u2019re basically, after the initial run of three million, building them to order, which is why it\u2019s taking so long for people to get theirs.  They have said, &#8220;You can\u2019t walk into a store and get one; you have to order \u2019em online,&#8221; and last night you know what they did? <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_105140\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/AppleIVE_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>They announced that at higher end, elite, snobbish boutiques, you can walk in tomorrow and buy a watch.  In London, in Milan, in Tokyo, in Los Angeles, and there\u2019s one other place.  After all of these weeks of telling their customer base, &#8220;Sorry, you have to order online.  There will not be any stock anywhere in Apple stores on launch day.&#8221;  Except now at these little kiosks in these high-end boutiques.  It is clear to me now, this watch is an entirely different thing for these people. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>This is not a gadget. <\/p>\n<p>They are entering the fashion world. <\/p>\n<p>They are entering high fashion, and that\u2019s what this is. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an entirely different thing.  It\u2019s got consumer electronic guts.  One way of putting it is, their celebrity designer, Jony Ive, it\u2019s almost like he\u2019s tired of being Jony Ive and now wants to be &#8220;Jony&#8221; Versace. (interruption) Well&#8230; &#8220;Oscar de La Renta.&#8221; Well, pick one that\u2019s still alive.  But he wants to&#8230; It\u2019s obviously what\u2019s happening here, and they might run the risk of really alienating their loyal customer base.  I don\u2019t know how much that would hurt \u2019cause the loyalty is so deep.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you something else.
