Tim Cook - iWatch for children please!!!
I have 4 children. This request is too late for my 15 year old who already has a iPhone but for the other 3 (ages 10,10 and 13) here is what I am asking for.
I want the ability to give my children a watch instead of a phone that they can call and text from and that I can use Find My Friends on. No games, no social media, no camera. Just a communication device that is attached to them (less likely to lose it). Health tracker would be fine. Doesn't need music or ability to stream to ear buds.
- de-couple a line of watches from iPhone and use iCloud from any computer to control
- make it around $250 smaller bezel (protected edge if possible) $10 LTE subscription
Everyone who gets one of these from a parent will eventually get an iPhone so do not worry about losing customers. As a parent I want to be able to communicate with our super busy children to keep them safe but an iPhone can have the opposite effect with social media, gaming etc. There are too many challenges that their developing brains cannot handle.
In my opinion you have a bit of an obligation here don't you think?
Please consider this. I would buy 3 of these tomorrow.
