The recent ones rumors of a possible release iWatch produced by Apple have revealed a story quite a long way of how Apple has analyzed watches over the years. It all started in the 2000s when Jony Ive he started to be interested in the watches of the Nike, asking for a few boxes with dozens of the company's models to analyze. Everything went to the point where Apple employees were interested in finding out the materials from which the watches were made, Apple even investigating the manufacturing process of such products.
Apple design chief Jony Ive has long had an interest in watches. Besides owning many high-end models himself, he had his team visit watch factories and ordered boxes of a sports watch made by Nike in the mid-2000s, said Wilson, who was then Nike's creative director. Well, he didn't buy them. We just gave them to them as designer bro deals. He and others in the design group just requested them and we sent them a ton of Nike Presto Digital Bracelets and the aluminum Oregon Series Alti-Compass watches. Was flattered that they were requesting them. Thought they were only personal requests but their materials guy followed up with many questions on the materials and processes. This meshes up with their research in watch manufacturing during that timeframe which has been documented in previous stories.
Jony Ive is a friend of some designers of watches produced by Nike, Tim Cook is a member of Nike's board of directors, in recent years various information has been published regarding the interests of those from Apple regarding the possible development of such products, and those over 10 years of interest is now showing its fruits. iWatchhas been in the development process at Apple for a very long time, but until recently it was seen as a possible revolutionary product, and if Apple had thought of launching it on the market in 2012 with the functions of current smartwatches, it would had a huge success.
Apple is thinking of producing one iWatch with a curved screen that would run iOS- from iDevices, would interconnect with it to display notifications from terminals, to tell us who is calling us, to display alarms, to allow us to interact with various native/third-party applications and more. Recently I learned that Apple would be interested in implementing including sensors for monitoring vital functions, an extremely important element at a time when accessories of this kind are increasingly sought after at fairs dedicated to mobile terminals. Combining this with a generous screen capable of displaying geolocation information, plus a pedometer, and Apple could revolutionize the immature smartwatch industry.
Regardless of whether the iWatch will be released in 2013 or 2014, as long as it has the popular features that people are looking for, extremely many people will be interested in it.
