iWatch

Given that we're only expecting a preview of the iWatch rather than a full-on launch, it's been relatively easy for Apple to keep the wearable tucked away under its cuff. Not due to release until next year, it's unlikely to have gone into production, and as such, we've only tidbits of scattered, often conflicting information. However, a new leak today appears to offer a legitimate-looking glimpse of what's in store, and although it's hard to glean much from what are predominantly schematic drawings, they do give us a glimpse as to the gadget's form factor.

Apple’s media event is slated to happen this coming Tuesday, the 9th of September, and amongst other announcement, the company is definitely going to reveal the larger, 4.7-inch iPhone 6. Another rumor that’s been really strong with respect to the expected product unveilings is the iWatch - Apple’s first wearable that’s probably going to function as a smartwatch, among other things. However, the elusive “iWatch” announcement isn’t as certain as the iPhone 6. but one pointer today indicates that Apple might be inching in that direction. According to Reuters, Apple is also extending invites to “top fashion editors and bloggers” for its 9/9 media event.

Apple's iWatch is expected to take the smartwatch world by storm when it's announced next week, and although it likely won't begin shipping until early next year, the Cupertino company clearly wants to ensure that its first major wearable is among the competition as smartwatches go mainstream. Jony Ive, Apple's lead designer, is naturally quite excited about the prospect of the iWatch hitting the market, and as quoted by a fellow member of the design team inside Cupertino, has jokingly suggested that Switzerland "is in trouble."

A new report is citing unnamed sources claims that Apple's executive team is mulling over the possibility of charging an eye-watering $400 for the firm's as yet unannounced but much talked about smartwatch.
