Apple iWatch: The speculation

The rumor mills are abuzz about Apple’s new watch release for the last couple of months. Unlike a conventional watch this watch, not only shows time, but, it is also about health and fitness. The watch is capable of tracking all the vital signs and monitor critical health related factors. This watch will probably be autonomous and will be able to perform some functions independently. But, mundane tasks like sending messages or voice chat, etc. are not autonomous and will require some connection to a smartphone.

One can expect it to be an extremely  fashionable device running iOS with biometrics and other exclusive features providing integration with other iOS devices.

While most of the similar watches are of 1.6 inch display, the iWatch is speculated to come out in two sizes featuring 1.3 inch and 1.5 inch flexible AMOLED displays. Apple may also introduce a competition defying smart watch with a display of 2.5 inch diagonal measure and slightly rectangular. The watch face also expected to protrude slightly from the band, creating an arched shape. It is expected to feature a touch interface. To beat the completion hands down Apple is also testing new and innovative ways to charge the iWatch. The last generation smart watches are all massive battery drainers and hence battery and charging are two major areas of focus for Apple. Therefore Apple is likely to include technology to enable inductive, solar, and motion charging of the iWatch minimizing the constant battery draining. It is targeted to have hooping 4 too 5 days battery life. Magnetic induction charging is tipped to be the front-runner. This smartphone is likely to have a 200mAh 250mAh battery.  This Apple iWatch is likely to come along with the a sapphire lens cover, biometric recognition and an NFC chip. There is also some buzz about Apple working on some new sensors that can check a person’s hydration level and sweat components which can assist professional athletes during their training exercises. There is also a speculation that Apple iWatch can be combined with Apple’s Healthkit and it could be capable of tracking steps, calories burned, heart rate and more.
