Apple Watch: When to Expect the Highly Anticipated Wearable
Published at
Apple Inc.(NEW YORK) — One of the biggest mysteries in technology this year — the release date for the Apple Watch — may finally be solved.
While Apple’s website says the device will be released in early 2015, 9to5Mac reports that employees will start receiving training in February, with the Apple Watch shipping to customers at the end of March.
From the moment Apple CEO Tim Cook showed off the Apple Watch in September of last year, brand devotees have been eager for more details on the wearable.
What is known is that the Apple Watch is expected to begin at a price point of $349 and will come in three editions: Apple Watch Sport, the standard Apple Watch and a luxury edition.
While other wearables focus on a touch screen, Apple is making navigation on the watch head easy by letting the users move the digital crown to toggle between apps.
The wrist is “a very interesting place” because users can glance at it while “you can’t glance at a lot of other places on your body,” Cook told ABC News’ David Muir in an exclusive interview after the watch was announced last year.
“You can measure a lot of things from there and you can just get, honestly, a tidbit today of what all it can do,” Cook said. “But I think it’s huge.”
