Apple watch conjecture about where smartphones are tomorrow

Look at Apple Watch before the Tao watch manufacturers know: Samsung, Motorola, LG, it seems that the record is not good, and the response is not very enthusiastic; leaving the watch aside, even the mirror brother Google Glass attracted so many eyeballs, until now is still a lot of controversy.

But Apple is an experienced veteran. Just imagine, before the ipad comes out, who's going to care what the tablet is? Before the iphone is released, who realizes that smart opportunities are as pervasive as they are today?

So, every new "apple" drop will make the world vibrate, Apple Watch is no exception. The release of Apple Watch, which was unveiled last year by Fri and announced in April this year, has naturally sparked widespread concern.

Apple Watch has deliberately limited some features to make it more like a watch. Ben Bajarin, a technology consumer analyst at Creative Strategies, said Apple's watch might attract the attention of fitness gurus or watch collectors, but not so much that it could attract a wider audience.

"It's a whole new series. Most people don't have a clear idea of smart watches. ”

Conjecture: Bewildering

In February, Apple has been issuing invitations to the media and revealing details aimed at launching a rally for the conference. As usual, Cook is still the keynote speaker.

Apple clearly understands the point of focus, so it publishes a lot of price information. I believe we have heard many times, starting at 350, starting at 350! Although Apple did not mention the cap, a watch collector made the prediction that the 18K Gold fruit table could be as high as 10,000 dollars.

Some employees say the hardest part of Apple's watch is to put tiny chips and sensors into the dial. The company began testing sensors such as heart rate and blood pressure two years ago, after 18 months of testing, and eventually gave up most of the sensors, taking into account various factors.

The endurance of the watch is also a problem that Apple attaches great importance to, and they have come up with a lot of solutions, even including solar charge, which is hard to fight. Eventually they decided to use electromagnetic induction to generate a voltage to charge the watch.

Apple says the watch battery lasts a whole day, and users only need to recharge at night (the charge is similar to that of smartphones). They also designed a power-saving model that only displays time when the electricity is low.

Apple is also at pains to keep a secret job. An anonymous employee revealed that Apple had even created a model that looked like a Samsung smart watch and tested it outside the office for the cover-up. It sounds drunk.

Incidentally, Apple Watch's design team is a "All-star lineup", just to cite a few examples:

Chief designer Jony Ive;

Chief Executive Jeff Williams;

Software development chief, former Adobe executive Kevin Lynch

Smart watch: where tomorrow?

The report by Canalys, the research institute, said last year that there were 720,000 smart watches on the market, which is not really an ideal figure.

Analyst Daniel Matte says the current big market environment for smart watches is premature, and that is why it has happened. He made the prediction with confidence that 2016 would be the year to sell smart watches.

Predictably, Apple Watch will be on the market after the launch of the current Android smart watch to form a shock, for smart watches is also a battle.

Sanford Bernstein, financial analyst Toni Sacconaghi, believes Apple will be selling 7.5 million Apple Watch in the second half of the year. But it is a little less than the Chiban of the iphone, which is linked to the Earth N Circle.

Watch application: A true speaker

No matter how many stunts Apple Watch adds, ultimately, what you can do with your watch is largely determined by the application.

The director of Frank N. Magid Associates Tero Kuittinen has been consulting with application developers, saying that about 20 customers are asking about Apple Watch. And according to him, many people have expressed "cautious optimism". But they will also be worried about profitability, especially--how can a small screen be put into advertising?

David Barnard, an independent app developer, is currently designing a watch application launch Center Pro that can be connected to the iphone. According to him, this application can adjust thermostat temperature, also can open door lock.

"I still look forward to the answer to the use and frequency of smart watches." ”

Barnard is optimistic about the future of smart watches, but is also a bit worried about what users will do with it in the future.

So what's the future about Apple Watch? Let's wait and see. If you have any idea, welcome to leave a message below, and we have an imagination to discuss it!
