Whenever I see a pic of Ive I think of bezels.... Huge, symmetrical, aluminum bezels...
At this point it's obvious Apple is throwing people off with all of these different sizes... Probably trying to weed out the leakers.
Well it doesn't make sense to have a smart watch when you will still need a phone in your pocket for functionality . What a waste of money if you asked me except for the loyalists .![]()
Everyone assumes that iWatch will run an UI that is similar to iOS. I think that is unlikely. The iOS UI was optimized for a smartphone. Yes, it is used in iPad, but it frankly isn't great there and it is used mainly to make the transition from your phone easier. And to allow Apps to cross sell easier.
But this watch's screen is going to be so small, I think the UI has to change.
It better look like a normal wrist watch, because all those geeky smart watches out there just suck. Even the Moto360, it is really fat.
No way. iWatch won't have a touchscreen, it'll have a 3D beamy thing giving a hologram effect like off Star Wars, all which is fully interactive. This means if you need more real-estate or add new features, it's not a problem; one of the main advantages when the iPhone didn't come with a physical keyboard. Otherwise there's no advantage to a small touchscreen; it won't add any functionality to the ecosystem. It won't be as good as an iPhone/iPad for browsing, making calls, or anything else. It'll be redundant.
My money's firmly on Apple popping in some technology 5-10 years ahead of their competitors' pipelines. If they perfect it they could easily have it running in tandem with an iPhone to make calls (much like OS X 10.10 will), without the limitations of the Galaxy Gear (crappy sluggish interface and tiny screen).

I personally think the one people who will be purchasing these watches are loyalist

No that isn't obvious at all. It's also possible that these analysts are worried that the rumors they have been spreading around sre wrong and they don't want to look dumb or folks will stop listening to them. So they spread around more rumors including delays and supply issues to cover their butts.
Including this 'but not until next year' crap. IF this watch is real and IF Apple announces it this year they will launch it this year. Such an item would be too good of a choice for holiday shopping not to have it out by then.

I still think a 12.9" iPad Pro is probably too big. I'm thinking something closer to 11.9" or similar. Noticeably bigger than an iPad Air, but not very massive. The iPad Air is about 22% bigger than the iPad Mini. An 11.9" iPad Pro is about 22% bigger than an iPad Air. For MacBooks, Apple is fairly consistent with the 13.3" MBA being 15% bigger than the 11.6" MBA, and the 15.4" MBP is about 16% bigger than the 13.3" MBA/MBP. The 4.7" iPhone 6 would be about 17% bigger than an iPhone 5/5S 4", and the 5.5" iPhone 6 would be about 17% larger than a 4.7" iPhone 6. So everything is fairly evenly spaced. They might go completely against this, but it's just something that I noticed. That and 11.9" just sounds right to me. The only thing that might throw that off is if they switch aspect ratios, and wider does make more sense for productivity apps that snap side by side.
TL;DR: Apple evenly spaces out their screen sizes across product lines for the most part. 11.9" iPad Pro makes sense when looking at patterns.
Obviously they know nothing about a product that is not in production. As soon as the production starts we see the device in full well before the release. Just look at the iphone 6. We have basically known exactly what it will look like for at least 2 months.
