iWatch

There has been so much talk going on about Apple, iPhone 6,  iWatch due to the recent Apple event that happened on 9^th Sept 2014. Being a very loyal customer of Apple products from iPod to MacBookPro I have it all. Now the question comes what is iWatch? Is it as good of a product like all the previous Apple products?

People have made remarks regarding its design, a Swiss watchmakers, Jean-Claude Biver, who heads the French group's luxury-watch division said “To be totally honest, it looks like it was designed by a student in their first trimester".  Similar remarks were added by Swatch CEO, Nick Hayek that the world's biggest watch group was "not nervous" about Apple’s watch coming into the market despite the warning given by Jonathan Ive, Apple’s design chief.

Keeping all the drama associated with Apple products in mind, lets see what iWatch actually promises.  Next year when Apple will launch iWatch it will have 34 combinations of models and wristbands to select from, providing a variety from gym wearable watches to boardroom styles. It will require an iPhone 5 or later models to work with. This isn’t a fault with the product rather it is an additional feature as it works so well with iPhones. It allows you to make phone calls to any other phone. You can read books, check emails and watch movies on it.

The watch will also validate any payments made by Apple Pay by using a PIN code for authorization and will remain authorized till it remains on your wrist. This has been achieved by using one or more sensors on the back of the watch, which will be used to determine when the user has taken off the watch. In order to make further purchases you will need to wear the watch again and enter the pin.

Now coming to the battery life of the watch, as we all know Apple products do have battery issues, an Apple spokesperson Nat Kerris told Recode, saying that the Watch lasts "about a day right now." Apple does still have time to improve the battery as the watch wont be out till 2015.

There are still many questions regarding iWatch as well as a lot of expectations from it. Some think it will be Apple’s most viral product. On Apple Watch promotion pages it stated: “With Apple Watch, every exchange is less about reading words on a screen. And more about making a genuine connection.”

From all this talk, iWatch does look like an exciting product and we can’t wait for it to be launched so that we can truly see what all it has to offer.
