Its hilarious. The Android fanboys are already saying Apple is copying Samsung. Even though Apple most likely has been developing this for a very long time.
There's only 2 mockups on mac rumors and they both suck.
I dont think that Apple will make 2 events in one month. October is for ipads/mac and maybe apple tv
No, it's definitely a wearable.Everyone is assuming iWatch is a health tracker/wrist watch. Maybe iWatch isn't a wearable at all - could it be the code name for the new aTV. The next aTV could be called iWatch. Seems strange that all the aTV rumours died down as soon as the iWatch started being discussed.
So this suggests we'll get an iPhone event in late August, early September with releases in late September (and October if rumours concerning the 5.5" iPhone 6 are true) and then another event in mid-late October exclusively for the iWatch with a release in October/November(?).
Of course, I imagine this won't give developers enough time to develop software or apps for the iWatch (if indeed Apple offer an iWatch App Store) suggesting that the iWatch will function purely on stock apps and software on launch. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they do with it.
Nope.
The way that health kit works, any apps that have implemented the standards will automatically pair and feed information.
I'm watching the accessories session right now![]()
Tan up this summer MR Trolls! This fall could be a bumper whine harvest season for you all.![]()
'wearables' tech gadgets seem to be forced. What's better then pulling out your 4-5 in smartphone? A watch is JUST BARELY more convenient to look at then pulling out your phone, and the Google Glass consensus has already been made.
I can't wait for the official announcement thread.
"After all the hype I was expecting much more than a tiny featureless iPhone that needs an actual iPhone to do anything useful."
"No one will wear this and talk to their wrist in public."
"I don't even have an iPhone so what's the point in this for me? Do they really think everyone is going to buy an iPhone just to use one of these?"
"So Apple expects people to pay $price for the 'convenience' of not having to take their phone out of their pocket?"
"It doesn't even have [feature]? My android watch has been able to do [feature] for two years."
"People aren't going to buy a watch they need to charge every x day(s)"

I suppose Flavor Flav will be Apple's next big acquisition.
You know what would be the REAL game changer? Google glass in the shape of a CONTACT LENSE. That would appeal to EVERYONE, as it would be a hardly noticeable device, like a cell phone. That is really wear wearables needs to go IMO.

I'm not sold on any sort of iWatch yet (though to be fair, Apple hasn't officially pitched me anything yet).

It doesn't help that at this point I have lower expectations for Apple venturing into brand new markets since Steve is gone.
Regardless, Apple products are of such high quality that If I had the money, I would buy one for the experience.![]()
Well, that was predictable I guess. But I'm talking about applications that exist specifically on the iWatch. Like Twitter for iWatch or Facebook for iWatch. Not that these types of apps WILL exist on the iWatch. It will depend entirely on the direction Apple takes the iWatch and exactly what sort of device it will be.
Can we stop calling it iWatch? It's going to be a health device that also has a clock. Not going to be a watch or look like a watch. It's going to be a health accessory not a fashion accessory like a watch. They are going to make a better fitbit. It's not a coincidence that fitbit is delaying there new device until "later" this year. I expect something from apple called an iFit. It will be bracelet in all sorts of colors that ties into ios8 but also beams nicely to android.
I'll believe it when I see it.
