Apple Watch

With March 9th the date that we all have pencilled in as the day we find more out about the upcoming Apple Watch, those tasked with selling the device have been receiving briefings and instructional documentation which Apple hopes will see the smartwatch hit the ground running when it lands in its retail stores in the coming weeks.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has revealed that the Apple Watch will be available on international shores in the month of April. Cook also discussed some Apple Watch development on the app front as well, teasing us with signs of things to come when the wearable becomes eventually available. Head over the jump for further details on what Apple fans are likely to experience in April.

Style and glamour is something that the Apple has never really compromised on. Reports and photos are coming in where Apple is likely setting up an outdoor extension at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, which will serve as the spot for Apple's upcoming ‘Spring forward’ media event.

It's not long now. Not long until the Apple Watch becomes a reality. Well, it's real now because we've seen it, but I mean really real. So real we can all walk into an Apple Store and touch one. Maybe even buy one if we're lucky.

The Apple Watch is, without a doubt, the most anticipated wearable of 2015, and now we have CEO Tim Cook talking about how the device will become more than just a limited functionality gadget some time into its release.

We're all very much in Apple Watch mode right now, and with Apple having just sent invitations out for a March 9th event at which it will go into greater detail about its upcoming smartwatch, we offer no apology for that fact. Beyond the March 9th media event though there is little else concrete about the watch, which probably explains why we are all so interested in seeing what Apple has to say.

During September's unveiling, Apple revealed much about its upcoming smartwatch endeavor. As such, we know that owning an iPhone will be a prerequisite, that it will integrate with some of the company's newer platforms like Apple Pay and HealthKit, and that there'll be dozens of different configurations in total. What we have yet to hear are specifics on the device's splash / waterproof abilities, but the company's head honcho Tim Cook has shed some light on this matter during a recent trip to Germany.

Apple Watch will, according to company CEO Tim Cook, begin shipping from April, and since we're now closing in on that launch period, the guesswork has well and truly begun about what the device will offer, how many units it could shift, and generally, how consumers will take to the much-hyped wearable. No matter what the subject or rumor, there always, always seems to be one analyst whose calculations stick out like a sore thumb, and on the topic of the Apple Watch, an equities research expert has suggested that there'll be 100,000 apps ready at launch.
