Rumors are becoming more insistent: Apple’s iWatch is reportedly ready and will be presented for an October release. What to expect?
Talk of Apple and the launch of upcoming products is once again in the air: according to increasingly insistent rumors, the company is on the verge of launching iWatch, the interactive watch connected to the world.
Various anticipations are arriving from US circles: from Re/Code to the agency launches of Reuters, through the rumors reported by Forbes, there is insistent talk of an event that could be scheduled for October.
It would be a unique occasion entirely focused on the launch of iWatch and therefore not the usual – and always anticipated – appointment with the unveiling of a new iPhone. In this case, in fact, Apple’s calendar is usually set within September.
This time, therefore, it would be an appointment with the press and industry insiders all focused on iWatch, the wearable mobile device that has been much talked about and indeed expected for several months.
Especially since the competition has already moved into the realm of interactive watches, so there should be no further delay; provided that the iWatch launch project actually exists within the Cupertino company’s circles.
Japanese sources – as reported by the Nikkei website – speak of rather real details, such as technical characteristics: there is talk of the presence of sensors for detecting the user’s health data.
The hypothesis is not far-fetched, given that a few days ago the presentation of Apple’s new iOS 8 operating system focused precisely on the Healthkit: with this option, general health status can be monitored, also grouping data collected from other apps already in use.
And this therefore leads us to think that iWatch will run on iOS 8 and that it will be a wearable designed mostly for athletes, for running, for fitness.
The design of iWatch could be curved, with a touchscreen OLED and the possibility of choosing from different sizes, to better adapt to the user’s wrist.
Great interest and success are expected from Apple circles: in fact, there is talk of sales projections of three to five million units per month.
A truly very – perhaps too? – positive and enthusiastic prospect for an object that is, all in all, no longer an absolute novelty in the wearable sector.
Will Apple manage to surprise users and mobilize the market again? We will have to wait for autumn to learn more and to see all the most optimistic predictions confirmed or disproved.
