Hermes Bands for Apple Watch Now Available

“Earlier this month, Apple announced that it would make the premium Hermès bands for Apple Watch available as a standalone purchase and today it has done just that,” Chance Miller reports for 9to5Mac. “Now, Apple Watch customers can purchase a Hermès band for their Apple Watch separately via Apple’s online store.”

“Previously, the only way to obtain a Hermès band was to buy it paired with the Apple Watch itself,” Miller reports.

“Now, the Hermès Single Tour band is available for $340 by itself… The Hermès Double Tour band is available solely in the 38mm variety and comes in at $490,” Miller reports. “Rounding out the Hermès Apple Watch band lineup is the Cuff option, which is available only in a 42mm size and in deer brown. The Cuff band will run interested customers $690.”

Apple TV’s Live TV options not ready for Prime Time

2015-AppleTVLogo“With the latest update, Apple started promoting what it calls ‘Live Tune-in,’ the ability to ask Siri to watch the live broadcast of a specified channel, like CBS, Disney😄, or ESPN,” Dave Mark writes for The Loop. “A terrific goal, one that would allow Apple to keep a viewer in the Apple TV ecosystem without having to switch inputs to their cable box to watch live TV.”

“The current setup is a far cry from being able to watch your local stations on your Apple TV,” Mark writes. “But it is a step, albeit tiny, in the right direction.”

“To be clear, I absolutely love my Apple TV. I own three of them and take one with me when I travel. A terrific solution,” Mark writes. “It’s just that live TV is not there yet. Lots of problems to solve, including pricing/validation issues.”
