Q: September g, Apple

revealed an entirely new
project called the “smartwatch.”
The idea of the smartwatch
is simple: it is essentially a
smartphone one can wear on
their wrist.

Apple Watch, is the latest

: advancement in digital

: technology that can be worn by
: the user, as opposed to being

: held. Like Google Glass, the

: smartwatch acts as a peripheral

: you can use and wear as you go.

: The Apple Watch’s face, or what
: Apple refers to as the “digital

: crown,’ is that of a touchscreen,
: from which the wearer can

: access anything from Facebook

: to bank accounts—or simply

: check the time.

As this is the first model of

(Y Luka Magnotta juror selections start

: concerns to keep in mind before
: purchasing. For one, the wearer

: must also own an iPhone no

: older than the iPhone 5 series in
: order to use the Apple Watch.

: In addition, while there are

: adjustable options for straps, the
: watch device itself is, according

: to CBC, large for those with

: smaller wrists. Then there is the :
: cost to consider, which currently
: stands at roughly $350 for the

: starting price. Finally, as Recode
: reports in an interview with

: the Apple Watch, there are some :

Apple spokesperson Nat Kerris,

: “We anticipate that people will

: charge nightly which is why

: we designed an innovative

: charging solution that combines
: our MagSafe technology and

: inductive charging.” In other

: words, the Apple Watch will

: likely need to be charged once

: a day.

: nevertheless one of the most
: unique additions to ‘digiwear’
: since Google Glass. Apple

: Watch is anticipated to be in
: stores by early 2015.
