You're absolutely right, this is strictly my speculation.
I can't believe all the Gruber hate going on here. Sounds like you guys are jealous. Not everyone can be an accurate, astute, and well-connected writer like John. So your jealously makes sense. He uses facts and logicsomething that is often missing in these forum responses. Not everyone gets to sit down with Phil Schiller while he gives you a personal tour of a new, unreleased Mac OS. Until you can say that, lay off the guy. He is as legit as they come.
I don't think they will allow anything but iOS to communicate directly with the iWatch.
It could have it's own sim card and it's own cute little data package for like $5/month (though knowing Apple they'd partner with AT&T for $99/mo lol).
That might be the point of continuity - answer on the watch and then go find a computer/phone and switch to it - or not.
There's tons of chinese smartwatches on Amazon/Ebay with their own sims - there have been for years. This would also let Apple sue all the chinese smartwatch companies for having sims in them. lol
Good point.
There used to be nuclear batteries in pacemakers - lasted for years and years. Sim card a and nuclear battery. Hmm..
Maybe there IS a solution to iPhone battery life.
Why does no one write how limited the first iWatch will be? That it won't have all these features people keep saying. That if you want all those features you will need to wait til version 4 or 4w and if you want it lighter 5 and 5l for light...er
Why?
Because apple need to keep selling. The finished product has been designed. They're just removing features now for the 1st version.
Now can I be an analist reporter please?

Aaaand gruber says he was just making a joke. Sites were just blowing his comments out of proportion.

The nuclear batteries were replaced (around 1979) by lithium ion batteries that would power a pacemaker for about ten years. Pacemakers only need about 200 microWatts of power. I'm pretty sure the iWatch will need more than that. Especially if it's using a SIM card to communicate with cell towers.
That's how you cover yourself? Sure he may have no idea, but he may also have given it away, I doubt he knows though really.
You're first clue is that the iWatch isn't a smartphone. The need for it? What's the need for a smartphone? Oh that's right, there isn't one. The question is, does it make the world better, does it make life better, does affect change? The answer is quite possibly yes, if it has numerous, accurate health sensors.
Why would Apple want iWatch to take a spotlight from iPhone 6, their flagship product?

You want a flat tire design?
----------
The display in this Moto isn't round.
----------
Did a great job putting not a round display into a round frame? I call that "incompetent".
----------
Huh? It's a stupid design. The one where you make a round watch without a round display. How is that not stupid? I lol just to think of it.

Exactly. He even admitted on twitter this was a joke.
Can't believe this got posted everywhere as news.
I'm not saying this is what happened, but if you say something you might get in trouble for, don't you backpedal and say you were 'just joking'? That's rhetorical.
He also strays left of center in his political views, but worse yet, he's a Yankees fan...
Makes Sense
if they are going to introduce it at all this year, it'll be during the iPhone event since it'll probably be closely tied to the iPhone. It wouldn't fit with a Mac/Mavericks/AppleTV related event - assuming there will be one of those in Oct and not a big enough product to justify it's own event. So if it comes out at all it'll be announced during the iPhone event.

Notice how careful Guber is to avoid calling Apple's "wearable thing" an iWatch. It's nice to see that somebody knows better. Ready to let some of that rub off on you yet MR?
What do you think they will call it? Or are you just saying, why call it something it's not, yet?
