Apple Watch starts shipping in April

During Apple’s Q1 2015 conference call, its CEO Tim Cook has announced that its first wearable device, the Apple Watch will start shipping in April. This is in-line with its early 2015 targeted release where Tim Cook justifies is within January and April.

He mentions that development on the watch is on-schedule and its developers are working hard on its apps, notifications and Glances, a feature that sums up your information. Tim added that he has high expectation on the watch and he’s been using it on a daily basis.

If you’re eyeing for one, the Apple Watch won’t be cheap as it is priced from US$349 (about RM1,262) for the basic model and it goes all the way up for premium variants like the 18 Karat gold version. According to some sources, the battery life on the Apple Watch won’t be that great as it prioritise on high resolution and a more fluid user experience which would take up more resources.

Apple is expecting this to be a hit and us folks in Malaysia would probably need to wait a while after it satisfies its preferred first wave countries.
