Purported Schematics and Details on iWatch Show Rectangular Body, Round Sensor Plate

[myrtlebee]

Doesn't look like it will have a flexible display to me. Thought that sounded kind of far-fetched.

 

[e-coli]

This has Marc Newson written all over it. Ugh.

 

[DoubleU]

So is the unveiling of this device tomorrow to distract us from the uninspiring iPhone refresh, or are the huge iPhones to distract us from the anticlimax of this iwatch release?

Two half empty glasses?

 

[MacDarcy]

So the iWatch is gonna be a thick square block like every other smart watch on the market for the last 3 years...

...exept the Moto 360, that one actually looks really nice.

Of course NOBODY knows until Apple unveils the thing tomorrow...but I agree, the Moto360 is the best looking smart watch so far. It just looks cool and classic at the same time. I dunno, but the square look of most of the other smart watches just doesn't come close. It'll be interesting to see what Apple comes up with. Not much longer to wait...

 

[coldsweat]

Just some food for thought, was thinking about this earlier :

What if the watch is an actual watch, and the screen is on the opposite side ?

Before you say anything, take you're wrist, and try taping on it as if on a watch.

OK, now turn your wrist around and do the same.
Which feels most confortable and less awkward ?

I know it won't be like that, but hey, i think it would have been pretty cool ^^

Here you go........ Moment Smart Watch

The big question is "Can we put screensavers on it?"

And change Siri's voice? Pretty please?

 

[macnchiefs]

Really hope it's not square... i think it could be a big mistake if it is.

 

[Trapezoid]

The 360 looks awesome because it's circular, a rectangle one just doesn't look good to me, but then againn I'm only going by the abomination that is the gear.

I think the iwatch will need some great features to make people overlook the design if its a rectangle.

 

[jonnysods]

How are they going to nail this? I hope they do. I see lots of watches with potential, but there are flaws with many of them, such as battery life, water resistance, the thickness. the application of it. I hope they show us some old school Apple flair here. And I'd like all the speculation to end, looking forward to the keynote tomorrow!

The big question is "Can we put screensavers on it?"

Only flying toasters.

 

[unobtainium]

a flat rectangle? or a curved rectangle?

Time is a flat circle.

 

[dumastudetto]

I like what I see here. I'm buying an iWatch for sure.

Looks good, too good, I don't think that's achievable unfortunately, can see it being a disappointment.

 

[latts]

Speaker, microphone and 20m waterproof? Can this be done? Can`t it be applied to iphone also?

Why would you want a phone waterproof to 20m? Shark selfies, come on there's more important details

Funny how the leak is one day before the event, when it would receive maximum exposure for their site.

Whatever everyone's opinions are, I'd imagine it will be well designed, very functional and the possibility of it integrating with HomeKit has be foaming at the mouth!

Let's wait and see

I'm hoping for HomeKITT integration. Has anyone checked with David Hasselhoff's agent whether he's booked for tomorrow?

 

[MacDarcy]

A square design wise would remind people too much of the iPod nano as a watch. Been there. Done that.

I'd expect Apple to go in a different direction aesthetically. Guess we'll find out for sure mañana.

I like that a lot. Thanks for that linky

 

[Trapezoid]

As long as it doesn't look like the Neptune Pine. Yes this is a real thing:

 

[Arran]

^ See. Apple's obsession with thinness is not so bad after all.

 

[sportsfan]

Looks like they tried to fit a watch into a iPod shuffle case.

 

[iCore24]

SQUARE!!!!

What the hell man

If the Moto 360 looks better then the iWatch, I'm going to be soooooooooo mad. I really want the Moto 360 but doesn't support the iPhone... Don't force me to switch Apple

 

[satchmo]

Maybe Apple will do the opposite of the Moto360 and have circular face inside a square watch.

 

[ChristianVirtual]

I really hope they do better then a revamped iPod Nano style of watch.
Few hours to wait ... And see

 

[Macsterguy]

Can you imagine...

Can you imagine the theft industry on this watch... Better be careful where you take it off to charge it !

Personally, I just don't like BIG watches so here's hoping for Small-ish, thin and light WITHOUT pulling my arm hair out !!!

"I am on the case. I'm sharp. I'm kicking bottom."
