Bound for an April release this year, the Apple Watch is one of the most anticipated products to be coming out of the Apple camp since the original iPhone. As has become a custom in recent years, courtesy of the booming Chinese industry, Apple Watch replicas have come pouring in like there's no tomorrow. In a recent video released of a replica, we see how close to the actual thing it really is, that is until you fire it up.
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.
With Apple looking to take some serious security measures in order to protect the soon-to-be-released Apple Watch Edition, there is little doubt that the wearable from the company could well be the most expensive mobile gadget it has ever sold. More details to follow, right after the jump.
While last week was dominated by Microsoft's Windows 10 keynote event, the big news in tech over the past few days has been Apple's record-breaking earnings call, and amid the number of eye-watering revelations, CEO Tim Cook also noted that Apple Watch was on track to begin shipping in April. With reports suggesting that a couple of thousand units are being tested ahead of launch, it's not surprising that one or two have been spotted in the wild already, and with only a couple of months to go, the game of Spot An Apple Watch seems now to be in full swing.
Release date of Apple Watch and new 12-inch MacBook Air has been confirmed by a reliable source. More details can be found right here after the jump.
Apple's upcoming smartwatch may not be the first place you’ll think of when it comes to playing games, but even with its diminutive 1.5-inch display it's clear that someone, somewhere, is going to want to play Angry Birds or whatever the hot game of the year happens to be. The problem is, obviously enough, fitting anything meaningful onto such a small screen is never going to be easy.
In interviews given not too long after Apple announced the Apple Watch, the man at the top of luxury watch maker TAG Heuer, Jean-Claude Biver, heaped harsh criticism onto the timepiece saying that it lacked ‘appeal’ amongst other things. He also hinted that his own firm would be making a smartwatch too. Now though, months later, the outspoken interim CEO has changed his mind.
A ‘supposed’ prototype of the Apple Watch has just been sold on eBay for a good $260. Well, as it turns out and as common sense prevails, it's a fake. Read on after the jump for more on this, and how the yet-to-be-released smartwatch from Cupertino is already inspiring fake copies.
The Apple Watch's release is edging nearer, and even though we don't know exactly when that will be, the excitement is starting to build for the iPhone companion. With the Apple Watch hardware already announced attention has turned to what developers will be able to do with the wearable when it becomes available.
Only yesterday, Apple rolled out iOS 8.2 beta 4, and as well as the usual performance tweaks and bug fixes, we got a little closer to finding out how Apple Watch will integrate with the Mac maker's mobile software. Within the Bluetooth settings, we saw how users will easily be able to connect to their wearable, and we also saw instructions alluding to a companion app. Now, thanks to the dogged work of one Apple dev, we have an even better idea if what we can expect from said app.
