Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), iWatch is the name of the smartwatch that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), he currently has it in the development process in his laboratories, and an analyst says that we will only have it available in stores in 2014. Having in the past accurate information about the launch of Apple products, the analyst claims that Apple has concentrated all its resources in the development iPhone 5S, iPad 5 si iPad Mini 2, iWatch- to be launched next year, after the continuation of the development process, the lack of maturity of the market being one of the strong reasons that keep the product in place.
Apple may not have adequate resources to develop an iWatch version of iOS because it may require big changes to iPhone and iPad iOS this year. In addition, wearable device components aren't mature. For these reasons, we think mass production of the iWatch is more likely to begin in 2H14, not 2H13 as the market speculates.
iWatch panel to be 1.5-2.0 inches, and likely to be made by a Japanese or Korean supplier. We think a 1.5-2.0 inch panel suits watch applications best. The reason for choosing Japanese or Korean suppliers is that they enjoy closer cooperation with Apple, hence they are more likely to become suppliers for Apple's new products.
Leaving aside the delays in the manufacturing process, the analyst claims that Apple would use a 1.5-2 inch screen in the future product, iPod Nano being the source of inspiration and components for him. Basically, Apple would like to take over from iPod Nano touch technology, the processor and other important components, this being as logical as possible, considering that many users used iPod Nano exactly like a digital watch, and its components would fit without problems.
iWatch may use iPod nano's GF2 touch technology and AP. Currently, the iPod nano uses the same GF2 touch technology as used by the iPad mini. Since the size and computing ability requirements of the iWatch are similar to those of the iPod nano, we think the iWatch will use iPod nano's GF2 touch technology and AP.
Biometrics to be a focus. With a biometrics function, the iWatch can provide safer and more convenient user identification and offer more health care applications, which would create new business opportunities.
Integration with other Apple products a key selling point. The more secure identification mechanism and a biometrics function that we forecast the iWatch will have are complementary to other Apple products, and will therefore enhance the user's experience of Apple's ecosystem.
Finally, the implementation of some remains biometric sensors, probably one fingerprint reader and other sensors that will be used together with vital functions monitoring applications. Apple would allow us to secure our watch using the fingerprint, and applications for monitoring vital functions could be useful in a very varied range of conditions. a iWatch which would not have been interconnected with iPhones or iPad tablets would have been useless, so the device will retrieve all kinds of information from these terminals with the help of iOS.
The iWatch could reach the market at the end of 2014, but for now we are still talking about rumors.
