Manufacturers on high tech island Taiwan are reporting that Apple’s iWatch is unlikely to see the light of day until 2015.
Speaking under terms of anonymity to Taiwanese wire Digitimes, the vendors say there’s still a way to go because components are still in their engineering verification stage and then has to undergo production verification testing.
And, more than that, vendors who make the components that go into the iWatch haven’t yet received firm orders from Apple.
Although Apple is holding one of its signature press conferences on September 9th, the company is unlikely to announce the iWatch then, Digitimes says.
Yesterday Swatch said it would enter the now rather competitive arena of wearable technology with a smart watch. The jury is still out whether the world and its dog actually wants to wear this kind of device, however.
Microsoft tried to introduce a smart watch in the 1990s but the idea went down like a lead balloon.
