Introduction Of The Apple Iphone Watch
To begin with, the main idea behind the Apple Watch was to assist the Iphone and add new functions. Furthermore, it was aimed to free people of their phones and perform tasks from their wrists. To bring this dream to a reality, Apple then hired Kevin Lynch in 2013, who was working as CTO for Adobe, to take charge of the Apple Watch.
“People are carrying their phones with them and looking at the screen so much. People want that level of engagement. But how do we provide it in a way that’s a little more human, a little more in the moment when you’re with somebody?”
Kevin Lynch – Vice President Of Technology At Apple Inc.
In 2011, rumors made the rounds speculating that Apple was in the process of making a wearable variation of the Ipod that would wrap around your wrist and also feature Apple’s voice assistant Siri. Then during a press event in 2014, Time cook introduced the Apple Iphone watch and appeared on stage wearing one. After that in April 2015, Apple officially released the Apple watch and started taking pre-orders.
