THIS EVENING, APPLE announced the much-anticipated Apple Watch. The watch will start at $349, but will extend to $10,000 for a special edition made from 18-karat solid yellow or rose gold. There will only be a limited number sold in select shops so get a move on.

Needless to say, the internet had a field day.

Apple Watch lets you read messages while your phone is in your pocket. Like the ones from your mates calling you a wanker for wearing one.
