Contrary to popular belief, the iPhone maker's upcoming Apple Watch is not the first wrist-worn watch the company has created.
Back in 1995, two years before Jobs was brought back to save the company he co-founded, Apple had used a custom-made wrist watch with anodized aluminum bezel and scratch-resistant glass as an incentive for users to upgrade to Mac OS System 7.5.
As noted by Fast Company, Digital agency Huge took it upon themselves to imagine what Apple Watch editions of popular apps would look like.
A batch of believable mockups envision apps like Fandango, Foursquare, Google Maps, Chase Bank and more running on the Watch. The authors also offered a few smart suggestions on how such applications might take advantage of the Watch's unique hardware and software features.
A new survey finds that nearly 1-in-5 iPhone 6 owners are planning to buy the Apple Watch when it launches later this year. ZDNet points to the data, published by marketing research firm Credit Suisse, which shows 18% of iPhone 6 or 6 Plus owners polled said they would "definitely" be buying Apple's new wearable.
Additionally, 11% of those queried said that they would "probably" be purchasing the Apple Watch when it's released, and another 27% described the likelihood that they would be getting one as "maybe." Out of those in the "no" category, 27% said they would "probably not" be getting it, and 18% answered "definitely not."
Yesterday we reported that Apple had released a new iOS 8.2 beta to developers, and that it enables pairing with the upcoming Apple Watch and its companion app. Today, 9to5Mac is out with a new report detailing that app and what it's capable of.
Citing a source familiar with the project, the outlet's Mark Gurman says that the "Companion" app has the ability to manage settings for Apple Watch apps, as well as settings for the wearable itself so users can customize how it interacts with iOS.
Marsh Supermarkets, a retail food chain headquartered in Indianapolis, IN, with stores throughout Central Indiana and parts of Ohio, has installed iBeacons in all of its 75 stores and plans to run Apple Watch triggered advertisements when you walk in the store, AdWeek was the first to report.
The Apple Watch isn't even on sale until reportedly March, but that isn't stopping Marsh from preparing to take advantage of the hands-free advertising.
Samsung Electronics' chip division will be building the processor inside the first-generation Apple Watch set to launch in March, according to supply chain sources at Digitimes. Using the 28nm process technology, Apple's order to Samsung is said to call for 3,000 to 4,000 12-inch wafers monthly.Â
A new project from the folks behind the news app Pipes allows prospective Apple Watch buyers to test the user interface on the web, before the Apple Watch's launch in March.
All you need to do is head to DemoAppleWatch.com, where you can "use" the Watch, play with 19 apps, and try the Apple Watch's Digital Crown to return to the home screen. The Apple Watch is modeled on official images from Apple, and lets users see how their messages, emails and home screen will look and work.
Apple is planning to launch its Apple Watch within the next month or two, according to a new report from 9to5Mac. The site's Mark Gurman says that the company is finishing up work on the wearable's software, and sources familiar with the project say it's on track to begin shipping in the US by the end of March.
If you thought Apple's Watch would be totally free of pesky ads, you have another thing coming. A mobile marketing firm called TapSense announced at the CES show yesterday a brand new software platform to bring contextually aware advertisement to Apple's hyped Watch.
Billed as a programmatic ad platform, the TapSense SDK for app makers, along with programmatic APIs for brands, makes opt-in advertisement on the Apple Watch a reality.
The question is, are we as a society ready for coupons and other marketing offers on our wrist? And if so, will Apple actually allow third-parties to inject advertising into Glances and Notifications on the Watch?Â
The Apple Watch, the iPhone maker's foray into wearables, is arriving this Spring starting at $349.
And while we know quite a bit about the anticipated wrist-worn computer, Apple's left a few important questions hanging in the air.
Among them are important details concerning the Watch's specific launch date, battery life, a possible killer feature and price points for higher-end models.
Assuming the vast majority of folks who are in the market for an Apple smartwatch opt for the entry-level device, we're curious to learn whether you'll be buying one when it comes out. Or maybe you've decided to wait for a second-generation model, or pass on the Watch altogether?
Fred Wilson, a prominent startup investor and partner of Union Square Ventures, has posted a series of predictions for 2015 and his forecast isn't looking too good for Apple's first new product category in years.
Wilson, who has put money in Twitter, Zynga, and other large companies in their early stages, doesn't think the Apple Watch will be able to live up to Apple devices before it like the iPhone and iPad, both of which reshaped the consumer electronics industry.
LVMH watch chief Jean-Claude Biver announced today that its popular luxury watch line TAG Heuer is pushing ahead with plans for a smartwatch. At a press conference in Switzerland this morning, the executive admitted he had dismissed the threat of wearables, but recently had a change of heart.
"We started on the project about four months ago," Biver told journalists. "We have done several partnerships and might also do acquisitions." Google and Intel are among those rumored to be working with TAG on its smartwatch, which is believed to feature both mechanical actions and digital sensors.
