“Even though Apple Watch does so many things, there are cultural, historical implications and expectations,” Ive said. “That’s why it’s been such a difficult and humbling program […] As soon as something is worn, we have expectations of choice,” said Ive. Only “in prison,” he joked, do people all wear the same thing.
Ive sustine ca echipa de manageri a Apple a considerat ca un smartwatch trebuie sa indeplineasca un rol diferit de cel al unui smartphone, adica sa ofere informatii rapide chiar si la o privire scurta asupra ecranului sau. Mai mult decat atat, el a crezut atat de mult in acest proiect incat a fost ferm convins ca Apple Watch va avea o subcategorie proprie in segmentul smartwatch-urilor, iar parerile sale ar putea fi pe deplin indreptatite dupa lansarea produsului.
Apple Watch urmeaza sa fie lansat la inceputul anului viitor de catre Apple.
