Apple’s Planned IWatch this year with custom iOS

Apple’s Planned IWatch this year with custom iOS

Apple’s Planned IWatch will be released this year with custom iOS, More details are emerging about Apple's forthcoming watch, which is targeted for release this year, according to a Bloomberg report this morning and corroborated by our sources. Bloomberg says the watch project has long been a favorite of Apple design chief Jony Ive, who reportedly ordered "boxes" of Nike sports watches for his team to study a few years ago.

The Verge reports:

That's perfectly in line with what we've heard about the watch project, which we're told is being led by Ive himself with some 100 engineers under him. Interestingly, we're also told that Apple's chosen to rework the full iOS to run on the watch instead of building up the iPod nano's proprietary touch operating system — although the previous nano was already watch-sized and seemed like a great starting point for a wrist-sized device, Apple's betting on iOS across product lines.That's apparently leading to battery life issues in development, according to our sources: the goal is to last at least 4-5 days between charges, but the current watch prototypes are apparently only going for a couple days max. We're also told Apple has some work to do with iOS on the iPhone, which currently has several hooks for supporting a watch-like device but lacks the appropriate interface or settings to make it work properly. The Pebble watch, for example, can receive notifications from third-party iOS apps with a slight hack, but it has to be redone every time the Bluetooth connection breaks.

Obviously Apple has time to resolve these issues, just as it had to when it reworked OS X to work on the iPhone instead of building up the iPod's operating system in the late 2000s. And it should be motivated to resolve these problems quickly: financial analysts are already starting to latch onto watch rumors as a growth opportunity for Apple's battered stock price since the fabled TV project looks increasingly unlikely in the current media climate. (That Bloomberg report is headlined "Apple's Planned 'iWatch' Could Be More Profitable Than TV," in case any investors missed the underlying subtlety.) And Google is promising that its high-concept Glass wearable device will be out this year, lending momentum to a market segment that's remained essentially untapped for years but which has flared to life as indie projects like the Pebble, MetaWatch, and others find success with early adopters.

"Apple's Planned 'iWatch' Could Be More Profitable Than TV", I don't think so. I still don't understand the craze with this sort of thing. Why don't you just pull your phone out of your pocket?

sometimes i cant stay away from my phone, getting out of my pocket every 30 seconds, this thing could come in very handy, you could use your gps directions without constantly looking at your phone, manage calls and all notifications without pulling out your phone every time and maybe you can use it as a remote controller for taking pictures, the possibilities are innumerable

also google's glass keep my interested, i would like a full screen covering both eyes with proper sunglasses, maybe lumia glasses or xperia glasses? idk but google's innvention need some style
