stephen, let me start with you. this approach to selling stuff -- i have long believed that the lines in front of apple stores are a pr gimmick. the press dutifully show up every time they release a new product to use those lines to make it look like the products are popular and they can't manage the demand. stephen: short. what apple is going for here is a different kind of marketing strategy. apple wants customers to be happy and feel like they have access to the product. you can go in the store and look and try them on a demo everything, then place your order online or you won't have unhappy customers the wait in line and then go home empty-handed. cory: as part of the image restructuring, roughy mohammed price is an interesting part of this product. we've never seen a product -- i'm thinking of macs with every amount of ram you good stuff into it, would never cost you $17,000. how are they using price to convey image? guest: it's an interesting point. apple is really pioneering moving the merger of technology wi

cory: go ahead, stephen. guest: my counter to stephen's point is that it is great there are a lot of people looking at the watch, but apple is the largest company in the world with $183 billion worth of revenue could you need something bigger than diehards and diehard people -- big pocket people to get this watch going. from a pricing standpoint i think they need to focus more on the mass-market instead of the high-end watches, which let's face it -- cory: i don't think they are focused on the $17,000 watch. i think the $17,000 watch -- it is a gimmick. it is a way to say, this thing is really cool. i don't think anyone thinks they are going to sell 51% of the watches are going to be of the $17,000 model. it is an image leader and the same reason they bought ads in vogue, even though it is more efficient -- i would encourage them to buy ads in bloomberg businessweek. they are leading with functionality. rafi, why isn't that the model here, the same model we see in the fashion industry, where you can buy a pol
