This is where Steve would've stepped in and said if you want tattoos use Android Wear.

"You're wearing it wrong."

Joking aside, if this watch uses the green and infrared LED method, there's really no fix here. The Moto 360 and other watches use the same technology. If the LED light is being blocked by ink, well, too bad.

You'd think Apple would be more considerate of tattoo users than any other company :) Now that the iPhone has made them mainstream, so long, tattoo crowd!

Do you think steve would have let the current iwatch, as is, go to market? So many little flaws.

Did he let iPhone 4 "antennagate" on the market?

I think the seriousness of that one was a bit exaggerated by the press, really. I mean, I used an iPhone 4 for 3.5 years. I could cause signal to drop a bar or two by pressing a specific point, hard. In general, I got better signal most places than with my old 3G. Maybe if you lived in an area with extremely poor mobile signal and held the phone a certain way it could be a big issue, but I never really saw it as a problem.

We'll never know, and therefore I think: who cares.
