The 9 things to expect from the iWatch
Rumors about the Apple iWatch are circulating online almost by the minute. Just a couple of hours ago, we reported on some of the expectations of a group of analysts who claim we could see a wearable with two different screens, similar to the iPhone 6 , unless Apple surprises us.
On the other hand, there are many questions about the features of the company's smartwatch, which have been circulating online for quite some time. Now, The Verge has revealed a series of features expected to be included in Apple's iWatch.
#1 It will tell you the time
So far we've seen many rumors about the smartwatch, what it will look like, what apps we can use, or if it will be independent of the company's mobile phone, but what we are sure of is that it will look great on users' wrists and will tell us the time among its basic functions.
#2 It will monitor your health
The main feature of the so-called iWatch is its ability to track and monitor users' health through highly sensitive sensors integrated into its design. The exact type of information it will monitor is still unknown, but it is expected to include heart rate, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, air pressure, temperature, weather, UV exposure, calories burned, and more.
#3 It will be an extension for a mobile device with iOS.
Although the iWatch will run on iOS , it is expected to be a standalone device and a complementary device for performing certain functions, including working with apps and displaying notifications, but details have not yet been provided.
#4 It will have two sizes
As we mentioned before, Apple's wearable could come in at least two different screen sizes, given that users have their preferences regarding the size of a watch.
A screen ranging from 1.3 inches to 2.5 inches , even larger than the Galaxy Gear S , but many are betting on 1.5 inches which would be more reasonable.
#5 It will have different prices
The price is expected to be around $400, according to ReCode reports , but other models, such as the smaller, lower-capacity version, could be even cheaper. The same will be true for the iPhone 6, which will be unveiled next Tuesday, so Apple is taking into account the different preferences of its users.
#6 Nobody is sure of the way
Despite having almost certain information regarding screen sizes, it is not known exactly what shape the Wearable might have, so some reports indicate that it could be totally or slightly rectangular, although others are betting on a circular wearable.
#7 It will function wirelessly
With a device of that size, nobody wants to be using annoying cables, so the expectation for the iWatch is that it will work completely wirelessly, such as making payments and linking with your iPhone or iPad.
One of the biggest recent features in Apple devices is the famous NFC , and it's expected that the iWatch will also be able to be used for payments!
#8 It will have 4 main features
We still don't know exactly what functions will be part of the iWatch or what kind of applications it could use natively or created by developers, whom the company has already warned about the changes in conditions and what the iWatch is looking for, especially to protect user privacy and data.
In summary, the main features are expected to be based on its shape, its design using sapphire as the main material, its flexibility, and its slightly curved front, as well as the integration of OLED technology, which means it could be used to display basic information such as the time and leave the rest of the functions " off " to save battery.
#9 It won't be available for purchase until next year
Unfortunately, we will have to wait until 2015 to be able to wear one of the most anticipated wearables on the market , the iWatch, which we will surely be able to call by its official name in less than a week.
