Apple iWatch Update: Price, Specs, Release Date Information
After months of speculation and waiting, the Apple Watch has finally been unveiled.
That's right, it's called the Apple Watch, and not the iWatch, as the gadget has been previously referred to. The device made its debut alongside the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus on Sept. 9.
The Apple Watch is the Cupertino-based company's first wearable device that enables the wearer to check on Facebook updates and access simplified apps without going through the hassle of taking it out of the pocket or looking for it inside a bag, which is very convenient for those who like to travel extremely light, or for those who love to workout.
The final Apple Watch design which was unveiled a week ago by Apple CEO Tim Cook looks a lot like the renders that were released in the weeks leading up to the gadget's launch. It has a rectangular face, one knob and one button.
The smartwatch comes in two sizes, which are the 1.5 inch version and the 1.65 inch kind. The watch is available in four basic colors—silver aluminum, space black stainless steel, space gray aluminum, and stainless steel. The watch also has a special edition line, and one can choose between the 18-karat yellow gold or rose gold watch. Apple is also offering an Apple Watch Sport version for those who are not a fan of metallic bands.
The Apple Watch comes with apps such as iMessages, Health, Calendar, Mail, Photos, Weather, and Camera Shutter button. It also has the Apple Maps and Passbook that includes the Apple Pay.
It is reported that the Apple Watch will start at $350 when it is released in early 2015.
