It seems that the rumors about the iWatch been around for ages. It is quite strange, because, in fact, it all started about six years ago. Even more strange is the fact that we still do not have a clear understanding of what is working Apple. Insider information on the latest smartphones and tablets company was enough to "draw" us a clear picture of future products, before their announcement, but the details of the so-called iWatch remain fragmented and contradictory.
The wait is long, and tomorrow we learn of what really worked all this time Apple. But this does not mean that it's time to rest and to temper their curiosity - we still yearn to know what will be the iWatch from Apple. So let us together go through all the available information at this time and try to find out what to expect from Apple tomorrow.
They will show time
Without fear they could be called intelligent clock. It appears rather that Apple creates not just a "wearable" gadget, but also "smart" - more than a year, and many sources of the rumors referred to him only as smartwatch. No one knows what name to give this gadget itself Apple, but we can say with confidence that we will wear it on your wrist and it will show the time.
It will monitor your health
A key function of iWatch, as many believe, is quite a wide range of sensors to monitor the state of your health. Who knows exactly which parameters can track iWatch, but we are talking about a variety of potential sensors. Now the list of things that can be monitored are: heart rate, blood sugar, blood pressure, temperature, altitude, weather, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, schetik calories pedometer and monitor Sleep. Some of them seem to be more likely than others, but do not forget that Apple hopes to use your device for a number of major health functions. This is also reflected in the company's negotiations with FDA.
They are an extension of your iPhone
iWatch, probably will work on iOS, but it does not mean that they can do the same thing and your iPhone. Rumors indicate that to send messages or calls, they must be paired with a smartphone. This is potentially good news, because you will not have to pay a separate data plan for hours. Presumably, the watch will show a notification, as well as perform the basic functions of the phone. They even applications will beBut unfortunately, all this is still not enough is known. We really do not know how widely Apple implements integration with the iPhone.
There will be two models with different sizes
Each of us has their own preferences with regard to the size of Apple's hours and, apparently, is ready to give us a small selection. Rumors say their size is of 1.3 inches for a smaller model (it is less than the average Android Wear watches) and up to 2.5 inches - for better (which is more than the Samsung Gear S). Many agree on the size of 1.5 inches, and it sounds pretty reasonable. Although whether this will be a smaller model or large - is not yet clear.
There are various options that affect the price
Say, Apple is considering the price of iWatch at around $ 400, but different models of watches may have a higher or lower price than this. It is unclear how the pricing will be formed, but following the logic, we can assume that the larger model, as well as models with more memory will cost you more.
No one knows what form will iWatch
Clock - this is what we wear on his wrist, but will they have a round face, square or rectangular can be a great - at the moment no one I can not say for sure. Recent rumors suggest that it will be a rectangular or nearly rectangular, although this was mentioned and round shape. In this there is a huge difference and to which option will choose Apple becomes clear - whether it will stick to the classic design of hours, or try to create something completely new.
They will be able to a lot wireless stuff, including payment for goods and services
With such a small thing as iWatch, you do not have to mess with cords and cables. It is expected that the clock will be used wireless charging and, of course, pair with your iPhone will also be wireless.
Really important wireless technology is now - NFC. This is one of the wireless short-range communication, which enables the device to perform a number of things. At the same time, more importantly, it allows you to do this reliably, because NFC is very short range.
It is expected that Apple will introduce its own payment system along with iWatch and it will all be run on the basis of NFC. A simple click on your watch, you can pay for purchases at the supermarket checkout with your credit card without taking it out of his wallet.
iWatch display will be particularly interesting 4
The curved, flexible and highly secure.
- Likely, it will be curved. Do not expect a significant rounding, but it is likely that the iWatch will slightly curved in an arc.
- It is likely that protection be used iWatch sapphire crystal. Apple recently opened a large plant in Arizona for its production. Due to the sapphire screen will not look like something different, but it will be more resistant to the appearance of scratches than all existing screens, and it is very important for the device to be worn on wrist.
- He will be "flexible. It is unclear exactly how this will be implemented, given the sapphire crystal on the surface of the display, but it is possible that the screen is a little cave for safety. It is also possible that this is just another formulation for a curved screen. But who knows, maybe Apple is planning something more ambitious. Manufacture displays themselves are supposed to take the LG.
- Its properties are similar to OLED displays. OLED-displays are known for their over-saturation of colors, but they have several important advantages. The main one is that individual pixels can be switched on as needed. This means that the watch can display basic information (eg, time and notice) on any part of the screen, leaving the remaining space nepodsvechennym. If Apple will use this approach, it will bring great save battery power and as a result, a good battery life.
You can not buy iWatch until next year
Despite the fact that Apple is going to present his watch tomorrow - we know that their production not yet started. They will be presented at the presentation, but sales are unlikely to appear before the Christmas holidays. It seems, Apple expects that the iWatch will be ready by that time, although it is probably not so easy.
There are still many unanswered questions
In fact, there are quite a few moments about the iWatch, which we do not know. Will they waterproof? Whether they are any buttons? Can we use them to manage the devices, "smart home"? They will become a fashionable accessory or technology? Whether they will be called iWatch? How long they will be able to operate without recharging (hopefully a few days)?
All agree that tomorrow's Apple event will be very interesting. In contrast to previous years, we do not know all its details and what you can expect of our favorite companies. iWatch - a completely new stroystvo and Apple has put a lot of effort to keep it secret. It is hoped that we will be pleasantly surprised. And I'm sure it will be so!
