For some time now Apple has been rumored to be dipping its hand in the wearable tech market with its iWatch. The device has been widely speculated to host a lot of features similar to those of smart watches on the market already like the Samsung Galaxy Gear and Nike FuelBand. With all the rumors surrounding the device we decided to gather them all here so you can check everything there is to know about Apple's iWatch.
1. The iWatch is said to have a flexible AMOLED display supplied by LG, which will come in two separate sizes, 1.3 inches and 1.5 inches, to accommodate different sized wrists.
2. KGI securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested the iWatch could also be available at several different price points, pointing towards an array of different band and face options in various materials.
3. Apple's recent deal with GT Advance has led many to believe the iWatch will feature a durable sapphire crystal display.
4. In addition to serving as an accessory to the iPhone and the other iOS devices, giving users at-a-glance access to common functions and notifications, the iWatch is also expected to include several different biometric sensors. This could be a very plausible rumor as Apple just revealed its health initiative and accompanying app at WWDC 2014.
5. Speaking of health Apple is said to be aiming to make the health-tracking experience more accessible to the general public. The iWatch may be able to track health-related metrics like steps taken, calories burned, sleep quality, heart rate, and more.
6. The design is said to be so similar to the iPod that many speculate this iWatch device will serve as a replacement.
7. Many speculations have been made about the release date for the iWatch but a majority of writers and blogs have reported that the device is to enter production this summer and be released alongside the iPhone 6 this fall.
