Later in the week, Brian X. Chen of The New York Times said it will strongly be integrated with iOS 8, and could have an NFC chip. In other words, this means that you will be able to use the clock to perform certain actions such as making payments directly from your wrist.
While all the rumors seem to agree that it will be a great device, a new rumor suggests that there is an area where it may be a disappointment to users: self battery . Information that could fill the wait for this smartwatch.
According to Jessica Lessin of The Information , employees who have information on the device would set the bar low on autonomy. "People Who Talked to Apple-have about the watch Said That Apple employed-have low expectations set" , writes Lessin. Anyway, even if we do not really know what is going to be autonomy, and for comparison, note that the main smartwatches Apple's competitors - LG, Samsung, Sony or Motorola - under Android Wear have an average range of 1 to 2 days. We go below the day with the iWatch? If so, then it would be a disaster!
In case you do not remember, this is one of the biggest obstacles faced by Apple . We had several news reporting that the lifetime of the battery was one of the main problems faced by the builders of the Cupertino company about the iWatch.
Why? Simply because most of the components that manufacturers embedded in the smartwatches are truly designed for smartphones. This often results in a shorter lifespan of the battery, and awkward designs.
While smartwatches emerging for the past two years, many consumers are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Apple in this market, and why not replicate the real success of the iPhone or iPad. But Apple does manage to put the bar high enough and make the portable device attractive enough to attract consumers? The company should unveil its iWatch September 9, alongside the iPhone 6.
