Mass iWatch Production to Start in July

The iWatch clock just keeps ticking. According to a new report from Reuters, mass production on Apple's long-rumored smartwatch could begin in July, allowing for a potential October release window for the iPhone maker's debut wearable.Citing sources "familiar with the matter," the report claims that Taiwan's Quanta Computer will be handling production on the device. The purported smartwatch could measure 2.5 inches diagonally with a rectangular design, and may feature a watch face that protrudes from its band. Like many rumors we've heard before, Reuters' sources claim that the iWatch will ship with a sensor that tracks a user's pulse.LG Display Co Ltd is believed to be handling display manufacturing for the iWatch, which many expect to arrive with a flexible OLED screen.This isn't the first rumor that points to an October launch window for the iWatch, as a reliable source from Recode recently reported that the wearable will arrive around the same time frame. This would put the iWatch a month behind Apple's typical September launch window for its iPhone, should the hardware giant decide to keep things consistent for the iPhone 6 release.Fitness is likely to be a key focus for the iWatch, as Apple recently debuted its HealthKit API that centralizes health and fitness data from a variety of apps and accessories. The long-rumored accessory could serve as an iOS-based companion device to your iPhone, complete with notifications and full iOS app functionality. (TechMediaNetwork)ANN.Az
