Apple has just sent out press invites for an event to be held on March 9th with the tagline “Spring forward.” It is being speculated that the event will focus on the Apple Watch, and hopefully we’ll get to know the pricing and other details.
The Apple Watch has just gotten the treatment which is familiar to us when it comes to the iPhone or iPad lineup of devices. Brikk, the luxury and couture product design company has just announced an array of luxury models of the Apple Watch that will be available to consumers once it is officially released in April. For further details on this development, read on.
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.
The jury is out, and the royally premium Apple Watch Edition is today proving its weight in gold, literally. The gold plated watch has been touted to be one of the most expensive consumer devices from Apple, and as such there were questions about how much gold the wearable would actually be carrying.
Apple Watch is now at the closing stages of preparation, with CEO Tim Cook having suggested last month that his company was on track to begin shipping the wearable in April. To aid developers in preparing the first batch of apps in time for launch, the Cupertino company has been inviting a number of developers to its campus over the past week and will continue to do so through this, with in excess of 100 app makers having been summoned in all.
Here's something that was bound to happen, but sure, let's all blame the Apple Watch for it. Some schools and colleges in Britain have put a ban on smartwatches to be worn into an examination hall, citing concerns about students' use of the wearable for cheating on a test or exam. Details to follow after the jump.
With the Apple Watch all set to be released to consumers in April, Apple has begun training its retail store employees in multiple countries for its upcoming smartwatch. Read all about it, after the jump.
Last year's cycle of Apple keynotes followed a fairly recognized pattern, with the Worldwide Developers' Conference in June swiftly followed up by the iPhone (and Apple Watch) event in September and the iPad refreshes shortly thereafter. But with a new smartwatch on the horizon, one which, as Tim Cook mentioned last week, is on track for April release, we know that there'll be at least one major event before this summer's developer gathering, and according to a new report, the Cupertino is planning to hold a major announcement at the end of this month.
It has long since been known that Apple Watch will communicate with traditional iOS devices by means of a companion app, and now, for the first time, we can take a look at said app's icon. It's bold, dark, and fairly simple, and if you want to check it out, then join us after the leap!
