Apple Watch Shipping In April of 2015!

Tim Cook Announced Today

During Apple Earnings Call

Apple CEO, Tim Cook announced today that the Apple watch will be shipping in April of 2015. He said:

"Development for Apple Watch is right on schedule, and we expect to begin shipping in April. Developers are hard at work on apps, notifications, and information summaries that we call Glances, all designed specifically for the Watch's user interface. The creativity and software innovation going on around Apple Watch is incredibly exciting, and we can't wait for our customers to experience them when Apple Watch becomes available."

Cook went on to say:

"My expectations are very high on it. I'm using it every day, and loving it, and I can't live without it. And so I see that we're making great progress on the development of it. The number of developers that are writing apps for it are impressive and we're seeing some incredible innovation coming out there.

And just to clarify, what we had been saying was early 2015, and we sorta look at the year and think of "early" is the first four months, "mid" is the next four months, and "late" is the final four months. To us, it's sort of within the range, so it's basically when we thought.

But most importantly, we're going to be thrilled to start shipping it, because we've got a lot of customers that are wanting to get one."

Apple Watch & The iPhone 6

Apple Watch & The iPhone 6

I am working on an big article/review of the iPhone 6 Plus, which is extremely profound in its implications. This article will not only offer a number of interesting insights on the iPhone 6 Plus, but also offer some perspective on how it might interact with the the Apple Watch.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Shows Off The iPhone 6 Plus & Apple Watch Together For The First Time

In case you missed the Apple September 2014 event where Apple CEO, Tim Cook introduced the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and the Apple Watch, as well as intruding Apple Pay, I highly recommend watch it, as seen below. If you want to learn even more and gain valuable insight from Tim Cook, I also highly recommend checking out his interview on Charlie Rose. Also Bloomberg Business wrote a great profile recently on Tim Cook, which covers his achievements at Apple, including the launch of the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch, which I also recommend.





Like Peanut Butter & Jelly
The iPhone 6 and Apple Watch go together perfectly, like chocolate and peanut butter, or guacamole and chips. One of the most fascinating UI Design elements is that the Apple Watch has round icons instead of square, like iOS has. This not only creates a brilliant contrast, but aids in making the screen on the Apple watch seem less cluttered, and it kind of reminds me, speaking of food metaphors, of a bunch of Skittles, or M&M's layed out on a table.

The Dynamic Duo
So how exactly will the Apple Watch initially work with and depend on an iPhone? What will the relationship be between the two? Apple already mentioned that using a Apple Watch will require being setup with an iPhone.

The photo above shows an iPhone application designed to show the users health progress over time, on the iPhone screen. In other words, the iPhone App allows the user to see an "at-a-glance" perspective on their days, weeks and months.
This helps to make certain you get enough exercise, and it even allows you to share your activity and workout data with other third-party fitness and health apps.
