Apple's 'iWatch' May Have A Round Face And Look Similar To The Moto 360
May 28, 2014
Want to know what Apple’s “iWatch” may look like? Take a look at the timepiece already on your wrist. Yes, Cupertino’s long-rumored wearable device is going to look a lot like a traditional watch, according to Business Insider.
After checking with supply chain sources in Taiwan, Rosenblatt Securities’ Brian Blair has concluded that the iWatch will have a round face and look very similar to the Android-powered Moto 360. However, its profile will be "slimmer." The analyst says that production on the iWatch will begin in July or August.
Additionally, “there will be "models" of the iWatch. (Probably one for women, one for men.).”
Blair believes Apple’s orders for the iWatch are higher than previously expected. He expects the company will make between 18 and 21 million iWatches during the second half of the year. His previous estimate was that Apple would make between 15 and 20 million iWatch units.
The Moto 360 was announced by Motorola in March alongside the LG G Watch. It’s considered the world’s first wearable device with a circular screened design and will be available later this summer for $249.
