Apple Watch in the eyes of engineers and investors, when Mars meets Saturn

Sohu It text/Wang Shelin (Ahan)

They say men come from Mars, and women from Venus are hard to understand but difficult to separate. In the tech circle, there are also a couple of them: engineers and investors (the "ape" and the merchant we often call). Yes, yes, their brain circuitry is completely different, especially with regard to Apple and Tim Cook.

In short, for most technical people, Apple products have always been monotonous, there is no technology to boast of the innovation and breakthrough, but in the eyes of most investors, these design simple and beautiful results, not only symbolizes the revolution and innovation, but also contains the infinite nuggets power.
Apple Watch as a "controversial" product, along with CEO Cook, to return to the limelight at a recent news conference. To raise awareness, the media then surveyed 1000 tech engineers and 8,000 market investors around the world to see how they looked at the performance of the Apple Watch, especially the new product, Apple's future development, and Tim Cook's problems. It turns out that the brain circuitry of the tech ape and the merchant is not quite the same.
It is understood that 85% of the investors said Apple's performance is "pretty good", whether it is a further explanation of Apple Watch, or the future of Apple TV and other areas of the plan, have a point of significance. At last its stock trend, 83% of people think "all the way up", more than 50% people believe and very confident that Apple per share of the 349-dollar share price "value". Although some in the industry said it was impossible to understand why Wall Street people were always on the Apple pro-no matter what exotic product design It came up with, for example, a watch that was charged every day (perhaps those in the industry were technically born?). But the fact is that 11% of the 8,000 investors surveyed believe that the "buy" rating is never out of date for Apple, as for the overall stock price trend, the rally is positive, not sure it's just a spike.
By contrast, the atmosphere in the engineer's circle may be different.
It is understood that 50% of the technical apes hissed when Tim Cook described his baby products--yes, nearly half of them were very impressed by the new Apple CEO. 0% of the engineers surveyed believed that the price of the three versions of Apple Watch (yes, you're right, 0%), and only 1% said they might buy one. As for Apple, which is affected by the product, about 57% of engineers believe that "there will be a lot of volatility" and "falling is inevitable" and that many companies can make products that are more competitive and smarter.

"Investors tend to believe that, in addition to consumers, the program apes can understand everything, and that they exist to make up for this flaw."
Why every new release, despite the internet is full of skepticism, but Apple's share price is still rising, the product or sell out? Perhaps this survey will give us some inspiration.
In fact, Apple has always been controversial, but in the era of jobs, from a technical point of view less controversial. For incumbent CEO Cook, the media prefers to define it as a successful businessman, and technical controls dislike the smell of copper. Perhaps it is for this reason that Apple has a reputation outside the core technology circle, and Google is more popular.
"The other day I had a meal with two friends, one of them is investment bank investors, one is the technology of the IT staff." At dinner time, the investment bank has been talking to me, "Oh, my God, I can not help immediately start a piece of Apple Watch, and keep telling me why I need it so." Instead, sitting on the sidelines for a long time to say: ' I will wait to buy 2.0 version of '. Well, I'm pretty sure he's going to start in 1.0.
This is the confession of a technology practitioner, how many people around you who have such a mouth?
