As the Guadiana river does throughout its entire route, a model called the Apple Watch Victory has appeared and disappeared again as if by magic from the company's website.
Apparently, a savvy user discovered such a mention while inspecting the company's website, perhaps looking for the Apple Watch that best suits his interests, needs and expectations. He quickly communicated it to 9to5Mac and speculation began: Are we facing a possible new model of the apple watch or is it just the code name of the Nike + model that someone has forgotten to remove?
Apple Watch Victory, what it could be, and what it is
Apple Watch Victory, can you imagine an Apple watch under that name? As a codename, that's fine. Even as a designation for a model that has a profile as markedly sporty as the Nike + It could work (achieving the goals you have set is a victory and thus, you could be encouraged from the second zero). But if we think about it, the name "Apple Watch Victory" is presumptuous ad nauseam, and the accounts of the company do not go around showing off with similar nomenclatures.
I have it clear, and I think that all of you will also see it like me: the Apple Watch Victory is the code name used by the company to refer to the Apple Watch Nike +, but in Cupertino there are many tasks to do every day, and someone has had a mistake. But finally, the error gives rise to a lot of play, and how to think is free ...
Where does that denomination come from?
References to that mysterious "Apple Watch Victory" have appeared on the official website of Apple in the United Arab Emiratess. There, on one of the AppleCare + support pages, he mentions the different options for the additional warranty that the Cupertino company offers for the "Apple Watch" and for the "Apple Watch Victory", a product that, as we all know, does not exist.
On a similar page, but in this case on Apple's Canadian website, the company's watch models listed in that same paragraph are the "Apple Watch" and the "Apple Watch Nike +."
From this we deduce something very simple, so simple that even my dog has confirmed to me that he has understood it (yes, sometimes he speaks to me, as Imperioso to Jesús Gil): our favorite company, as is usual in it and in many other companies , has used internally the code name "Victory" to refer to what would officially be the Apple Watch Nike +. However, there are those who, with all the freedom that their imagination allows, prefer to think that Apple had planned to call the Apple Watch Nike + Apple Watch Victory, until at a certain moment, perhaps by divine revelation, they considered that it would be more appropriate change the name to something more brand-oriented, deciding then to call it Nike +. As I have said before, thinking is free.
"It is possible that the" Apple Watch Victory "is an unreleased product, a discarded product or an alternative name for a different version of Apple Watch", they say from MacRumors [of course, considering all the possibilities, so nobody fails], and continues, luckily, opting for the more obvious: “but given the evidence from the two similar AppleCare + pages, it seems more likely that the 'Apple Watch Victory' was a code name or considered alternative name for the Apple Watch designed in collaboration with Nike ». Touch the h… ..! 😂😂
And to further fuel the mystery about the nonexistent Apple Watch Victory, the same AppleCare + support page for the Apple Watch, but this time in its US version, refers only to the Apple Watch, without mentioning any specific model. .
Concluding: it is clear that I can be wrong; maybe Apple is planning a "victory watch" after all, and until proven otherwise, anything is possible.
Well, there is probably some residue in the WatchOS files that can confirm that at some point in development the Nike + version was named that way. Anyone wanting to unpack the WatchOS 3 OTA and look for references to "Victory"?
Taking into account that it is a version of the Apple Watch that has aroused interest in people who until now did not have it, it was still a fairly successful code name hahahaha.
I did not remember that I have the GM of WatchOS 3 extracted from the OTA here! See what's inside the NanoTimeKit:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/NanoTimeKit.framework/ca.lproj/VictoryNTK.strings
Also in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/NanoTimeKit.framework/ we find the source "victoryNTK-outline-italic.otf", with the numbers used in the Nike + watchface, so we can safely say that "Victory" was the Apple Watch codename Nike +
PS: The Hermès version was called "Zeus" during development.
Nike is the goddess of victory. Shots can come that way ...
There you have been very very successful Jesus, Athenea Nike.
Not quite. What you cite is the name of a temple that began to be built during the Peloponnesian War. In Greek mythology, Nike was in principle an independent goddess, that of victory, as Jesus says in his commentary. It was not until later that she was likened to Athena according to some writings. They came to name Athena Nike (Νίκης) as the personification of the goddess Pallas Athena, but as I say, they have different origins.
Well, if it is in Saudi Arabia, it is simply that they cannot see the + there, they get hives. That's why Apple's have removed it. Barca and Madrid did the same in their day with their shields to sell in that country. Muslim tolerance ...
Yes, they are very tolerant. Anyway ... swallow until the staff is fed up.
