This long-awaited wearable computer from Apple, known as the iWatch, has reportedly gone into mass production.
The bundle includes advanced SiP (system-in-a-package) modules, which can contain a processor, DRAM and flash memory. The module, used in mobile devices like MP3 players and smartphones, could be useful in producing a wearable computer.
The device will be released in the latter half of 2014, and that production of up to 3 million devices will began in the second quarter of this year, and will increase to 14 to 15 million in the third quarter. According to a Harris Interactive poll conducted in September, 49% of techies believe that “wearable tech is trivial.” This opinion seems to be a result of the objectionable reception given to recently released devices such as the Pebble and the Galaxy Gear.
So as the evidence of an entirely new product from Apple piles up, long-time observers of the company are waiting to see if it can work its iDevice magic on the wearable-tech category.
