Apple iWatch to be Delayed Until 2015?

Posted August 19, 2014 at 7:17pm by iClarified
A new report from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that difficulty manufacturing the iWatch will delay its release until 2015.

"We reiterate our view that iWatch, as compared to existing products, and as Apple's (US) first attempt at a wearable device, represents a much higher level of difficulty for the company as regards component and system design, manufacturing and integration between hardware and software. While we are positive on iWatch and believe that the advantages of the design and business model behind it are difficult to copy, we think, given the aforementioned challenges, that the launch could be postponed to 2015."

This is now the third time Kuo has adjusted his predictions. In July, he said the iWatch wouldn't enter production until late November and before that he had said it would enter mass production in late September.


Other predictions have suggested the iWatch will launch in December; however, it doesn't appears as though anyone has a firm grasp on Apple's plans.

That's like saying what kind of smart ass buys a million do,lar car. Rolex is what outdated is, watches today are beyond that. Remember in 2007 the phone, would you rather have a flip phone with outdated os or stay with today technology no matter what happens?

According to new "leaked" reports, Crapple dropped the whole idea of making watch as they were unable to copy Samsung watches as they do for other devices.

It's not like it's 'delayed'. It's more like people's guesses are Wrong. Apple hasn't announced shit, only making patents.

Is it more does apple seem to have some difficulty to make new products latley? We always hear stuff about what apple is trying to do but it always end up being late? I know that we cant always expect some mind blowing stuff but since Jobs dies the company have been focusing more on software services. What happend to apple tv that was supposed to come out?

The Apple TV is set to come out in September, the last article we have seen over release date only said 'any week now'.
