Apple iWatch will be Presented at at WWDC 2014 in June

Apple may introduce the long-awaited smart watch the iWatch at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which will be held between June 2-5 in San Francisco. The info is sourced from the Pocket-lint.

A new version of iOS 8 is expected alongside with the watch. Earlier the conference used to be the platform where similar products, e.g. the iPhone in 2007, were announced. And it is possible that the company presents another device at the WWDC, says Pocket-lint.

The authors suggest the June debut of the Apple?s wearable computer, despite a number of factors that favor the autumn release. First, the iWatch should work under the new iOS 8 mobile platform. However, in June only the first beta version of the OS will be issued. It will be tested during the summer and will not be released until September. Second, smart watches will most likely be a companion for mobile devices, and from this perspective, the release of the device along with the new flagship iPhone 6 seems more appropriate.

According to one of the possible scenarios the company only presents the iWatch at the WWDC, while the sales will start in the fall. This assumption can not be put aside, although the period between the announcement and the start of the sales for the Apple key products has been minimal lately.

According to the non-official information, iWatch will be created with the direct participation of Nike, who have extensive expertise in the field of fitness bracelets. The novelty will not simply control the user?s sports activities, but will also keep track of any of movements.

And here is the background for this conclusion. Nike has recently phased out FuelBand fitness bracelets, and focused on software to enhance the and Nike + software package and the public API for the application developers instead. Apple may have conceived to introduce the later in the iWatch. In addition, Tim Cook, Apple CEO, was not seen wearing FuelBand on his wrist, besides he has taken a seat at the board of Nike directors for nearly 10 years.

iWatch is rumored to be able to make iBeacon electronic payments, support wireless AirDrop file transfer and integrate with the CarPlay. Also a lot of sensors needed for interaction with the outside world and tracking the physiological condition of the owner are suggested.
