APPLE iWATCH like iPHONE iPAD
The
Apple iWatch is rumoured to be in some form of production right now
– we round up the news and speculation on its specs, features and potential
release date.
Apple is rumoured to be developing a wrist watch of some description, which would most likely
synch up with an iPhone or iPad to give
you updates on you’re wrist, allow you to control other devices and pull
data from the cloud.
Supposedly a team of ‘about 100 product designers’ are working on the iWatch – including managers, marketers and
software and hardware engineers who previously worked on the iPhone and iPad.
That’s according to two
people ‘familiar with the company’s plans’, which puts them in a remarkably
small category.
A further two informers claiming to be au fait with
Apple’s various super-plans say it is
experimenting with a ‘wristwatch-like device made of curved glass’, operating on iOS.
The NYT notes Corning
has developed bendable glass last year
called Willow Glass which could be used to wrap around something wrist, and
cites Forrester’s claim that “Apple’s
certainly made a lot of hiring in that area”.
While
early possibilities led us to believe an iWatch would be effectively an iPod
Nano on a strap, the latest developments are much more intriguing. According to
a patent application unearthed by AppleInsider, Cupertino has been
investigating the possibility of a wraparound design similar to the slap
bracelets of the early 1990s.
