There's No Safari On Apple Watch

The death of the browser has been a slow and steady process, but I believe Apple Watch will now be the nail in the coffin. Not only is there no Safari, but no one seems to notice or care! Imagine if Apple Watch had no Messages or no Weather or no… Uber!!! People would riot. But no Safari? No problem.

Safari’s not there because a traditional browsing experience on a screen that small makes no sense. People aren’t upset because they intuitively understand this obvious reality. As to whether or not the lack of Safari on Apple Watch is the harbinger of the downfall of the browser in general, I say not. It’s my contention that the browser isn’t going anywhere, except for into your pocket or handbag, where it’s always a moment away whenever you actually need it.
