Apple pulled a mini surprise today by launching the Apple Watch. Yes, we very much thought that Cupertino’s first wearable would land at the iPhone 6 launch event, but we suspected it to be called the iWatch. Instead it gets another name, but how does it hold up against the rest of the competition in the smartwatch market? Read More »

The iWatch is fast becoming the most frustrating of Apple products, that’s if it even exists of course. Last weekend I was sure that the wearable would make an appearance at Cupertino’s iPhone 6 launch event next week, but according to DigiTimes, it could be a while until we see the smartwatch.

We know that Apple will be launching the iPhone 6 at a press event on September 9th, the invites have been sent and we are now waiting with eager anticipation. However, Cupertino may have one more surprise up its sleeve and it could be huge! Reports have gathered pace suggesting that the company is ready to launch the iWatch alongside the iPhone 6 in 11 days’ time. Read More »

Apple has held out on the wearable market long enough that when the company does release a smart watch it is going to have to deliver something pretty special. Cupertino has said it will only release its iWatch when it can shake up the wearable trend, and now the company will really have to if it is to stand out from the crowd. We may know how Apple plans to do that. Read More »

Apple’s software-centric WWDC event today had those who wanted the glitz and glam of product launches fairly bored. After-all, if you are after your next flagship smartphone or tablet, what is some software going to do to fill the tech void? For the rest of us, we knew what WWDC is about, a conference where software is the key. Read More »

2014 is a big year for Apple as the company in many ways has to reignite its relationship with the consumer space and once again place itself as the innovative force in tech. Of course, the iPhone is still the best selling smartphone and the iPad the best-selling tablet, but there has been a feeling that Apple has not done enough in recent years to truly change the industry.

It has widely been reported that Apple might use WWDC as the place to debut its iOS wearable device unofficially called the iWatch. Anyone hoping those rumors might be proven accurate at next month’s developer’s conference will sadly be disappointed to learn that the likelihood of that happen has fallen.

Mark Gurman and John Paczkowski have both reported that Apple will not debut any new products at WWDC. Gurman of 9to5Mac and Paczkowski of Recode (formerly the Wall Street Journal/All Things D) have two of the best track records when it comes to Apple event rumors and both of them say Apple will not launch an iWatch. Instead, WWDC will focus on software. We will see what’s new iOS 8, including the new Health book app that tracks fitness and health stats, and lots of new additions to OS X. However, there won’t be much hardware news.

There’s a small chance that both writers are wrong, but the odds of that happening are small. WWDC will be the launch of Healthbook, so one would think that Apple would use it as an opportunity to discuss its health-oriented wearable; however, that doesn’t seem to be the case. On the bright side, you can look forward to a lot of new things in the software that powers your phone, tablets, and your computer. Your watch will be updated some other time.

Apple iWatch has been a rumor for many months, ranging from a concept that put the iPod nano on wrist strap to one that features an iPhone connected Bluetooth watch.  As we drift on into 2014 we will here more of these rumors escalate.  We are sharing the most recent photos as they have been seen around the web. The iWatch has been rumored to include a new health app that’s said to be part of iOS 8. Read More »
