$700 + $24/month for an uglier plastic name badge + police body camera. No thanks

To put on the Ai Pin involves placing a magnetic battery pack on the inside of a shirt or other piece of clothing, and letting a magnet on the Pin itself hold the system in place. It’s altogether about 55 grams, or 2 ounces, nearly the weight of a tennis ball. People with pacemakers should consult their doctors about potential magnetic interference, Chaudhri says.

It's pretty heavy and the backside of the clip is a magnetic battery pack.

imagine someone bumping into you and the battery gets slightly dislodged, your $700 does-95%-less-than-an-iphone device has now shattered on the floor

Shattering on the floor shouldn't be normal for a device you carry around. Apple fooled you into thinking glass was a premium material.

If it’s even halfway decently engineered, why would it shatter? The total package weighs 55 grams, the front part likely less than half of that, and it doesn’t have large glass areas.
