Apple to Unveil Wearable Device on September 9 Alongside iPhone 6

[KPOM]

It's nice to see something come to fruition, though I don't think that wearables are the next iPhone (i.e. they won't be half of Apple's revenue 3 years after introduction). Instead, I see it somewhere in between the iPad and the fading iPod business.

Wearables are fashion accessories more than anything else, and incremental technological improvements won't drive replacements to the same degree as with the iPhone and to a lesser extent iPad. If Apple puts out decent wearable products (not ugly junk like the Galaxy Gear line) I can see a couple years of growth from this, and then a leveling off as it enters maturity.

ANY guesses on what the keynote slogan might be? Here's mine...

"It's time we share"
"It's all about time"
"It's about time"
"Watch this"
"It's time we show you"
"Spend a little time with us"

Well, whatever the iWatch looks like it won't look half as good as the mockups we've seen.

Personally, I just think Apple has found a way to rebrand and dump their fledgling inventory of iPod Nano's. And the fanboys will lap 'em up.

I'm going to remember this post when the device actually announced.

None of those because I don't think Apple is announcing a watch.

2012 iPhone 5: Sept 4
2013 iPhone 5S: Sept 3
2014 iPhone 6: Sept 2 my prediction

Which is most likely wrong since no invites have been received as far as I know.

How is it wrong? He was stating the date the invites go out, not the actual event dates.

Next Tuesday, official invitation, only saying:

"It's about time."

Would be sooooo great.

Thanks!! I hope you're right!

I'm really looking forward to the 9th September even if its not bundled I would still be interested to see what they have done with the smart watch area. Hopefully something different from what the competition have been doing.

Me too and I can't wait!!

D'oh. I apologize for being the new guy.

Invites, not reveal.

I just want a new ****ing ipod classic!!!!! :d

Personally I doubt I'd be interested in any "iWatch" but I love seeing new products from Apple so I hope it's in September.

I think they're also releasing a 60' Apple Television with 4K display, and it'll run a full version of Mac OS X!

Or not.

Welcome to macjokes.com! A new joke everyday! 9/9...get here fast!

The New iPhone 6 for sure will kick some Amazon...

This morning's headline: Amazon Fire phone doused by report of weak sales

Here's the link to the great news for Apple:http://tinyurl.com/p7nmr2w

Now, if the reputed iWatch is announced on the 9th, this will be a smash as far the stock price goes along with tears at Amazon, Samsung et al.

60 feet is H U G E !

Personally...

I only want the 5.5" model, maxed out, with a nice iWatch. However, I only have 20 dollars from savings
I don't think that it is going to be enough.

 

[Shlooky]

How come there are no iWatch leaks?

 

[JaySI]

WSJ just confirmed: iWatch coming on September 9th!

Only thing missing now is Jim's "Yep", after which we're all set for the most interesting keynote since the introduction of the original iPad.

It'll be a hat

THAT....I might actually buy.

What's the over/under that iWatch is the "one more thing"?

 

[Moonjumper]

Still don't see a big market for a watch, but still interested what we will see.
I'm still thinking more of a iBand than an iWatch.

An iPhone isn't just a phone. An iWatch won't be just a watch. The big market will be for what else it does.

Or, 60".. Whatever..

Remember what Eddy said, and confirmed by Tim, when the Dec 31 2014 comes, Apple should have unveiled something with bigger impact than the Macintosh, the iMac, the MacBook Pro, the MacPro, the iPhone and the iPad combined.

I said "remember", so you can believe it or not. I personally does not believe that. They should have some ultra state of the art technology and no one in this world knows about in order to surprise the world. That is possible, but not before Dec 31 2014.
