While much of the focus towards Apple lately has been geared towards
its rumored Apple TV, the company may first roll out an Apple Bluetooth
Smart Watch. A new rumor from Chinese gadget news site Tech.163 suggests that the watch is already being designed and that Intel is working alongside Apple to create the device.
According to the rumor the Apple Smart Watch will feature a 1.5-inch
PMOLED display that will be made by RiTDisplays. Tech.163 also suggests
that the device will feature ITO-coated glass.
While Apple
has never developed a watch of its own, its iPod nano has been paired
with a wrist band to give it the full appeal of a functioning watch.
Developers have showed increasing interest in smart watches, for
example the Pebble Smart Watch that showed up on Kickstarter and worked
with both iOS and Android connected devices and the Sony Smart Watch
which recently debuted.
In the past Bluetooth
based watches offered basic functionality such as caller ID, contact
lists, etc. Apple would likely attempt to bring more of its iOS
interface into the fold, allowing for watch based navigation and other
features.
At this time the rumor is unconfirmed. We already known that Apple
has been investigating Google type glasses and the company tends to
follow the crowd, attempting to build a better product based on already
available technologies. Should the Smart Watch market prove even
relatively successful in 2013 there is a good chance the watch will
debut.
With low-power Bluetooth 4.0 making wearable technology easier to manage there is a good chance that Apple, Google,
Microsoft and other tech companies will begin to further explore the
wearable tech sector. The real question is whether or not buyers
actually want to wear their tech in a non-traditional way.
