This is what the Apple Watch can learn from Android Wear

Posted on September 16, 2014 by Joe Levi

Apple only recently announced its first real wearable, the Apple Watch. Patterned after Google’s Android Wear and Samsung’s Gear line, Apple Watch tries to fill the void in that part of Cupertino’s product offering. Though not yet available, Apple has spelled out what its smartwatch looks like, and has even given us a fairly thorough walkthrough of what we can expect when the Apple Watch finally lands. Interestingly, Apple Watch misses out on a few key points that, at first glance, its competition already does better. Since there is time before the Apple Watch comes to ...

Apple Watch Edition to get Moto-360-like wireless charging stand

Posted on September 10, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Yesterday’s Apple Watch launch offered plenty of reasons for smartwatch fans to take note, and among the wearable’s many interesting features, we caught wind of the fact that it charges through wireless induction technology. Apple wasn’t doing much to call attention to this fact, but the details were undeniable. Still, it didn’t look much like any wireless system with which we were familiar, and instead of any kind of dock or charger pad, instead we saw

How the Apple Watch compares to Android Wear and Pebble

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Joe Levi

Today was the big day: Apple announced its smartwatch, unimaginatively named “Apple Watch”- not iWatch or iTime, simply “Apple Watch”. Perhaps that’s the best summary of Apple Watch: unimaginative. While the rest of the world is losing its mind over Apple’s new timepiece, let’s take a minute, step back from the hype, and see how Apple’s new competitor stacks up against the already saturated smartwatch playing field.Features & Functionality

Apple Watch supports wireless charging – sort of

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Today’s Apple event showed the company coming around to certain technologies it had actively avoided in years past: maybe the most notable among those was the inclusion of NFC support in the two new iPhone models, as well as its Apple Watch wearable. Following the big announcements, we have some time to start looking more closely at all this new hardware, and as we do so we’re picking up on some other pertinent details. Another tech Apple is finally giving some attention is wireless charging, and we see ...

Posted on September 8, 2014 by Jaime Rivera

We are just one day away from Apple’s event where we expect the company to launch the iPhone 6. If you’ve been following the rumors over the last couple of weeks, you’d think the iWatch wouldn’t make the cut until a future event, and it turns out that that might be wrong. New leaks claim that ...

Who’s writing apps for the iWatch?

Posted on September 7, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

At this point, it’s looking pretty likely that Apple will have iWatch news for us at its Tuesday event, regardless of whether or not the wearable is due for an immediate retail release (and things have been leaning towards “not”). Assuming that we do indeed get to this see new smartwatch, what software will be running on it? Not Apple code – that’s obvious – but what of third-party support? After all, we critique these existing wearable platforms based on their app selections, so surely ...

Apple event invite list hints at iWatch launch

Posted on September 6, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

When we’re trying to predict what announcements are due from an upcoming mobile event, we often turn to the invites. Is there some subtle hint at what sort of products might be in store? Or maybe a less-than-subtle shove in the right direction? Sometimes it’s not the invites themselves we need to pay attention to, but who’s getting them. Consider the August HTC announcement that brought us the One M8 for Windows: while the invite itself didn’t tell much, that fact that it was going out to ...

Apple sources warn of “disappointing” iWatch battery life

Posted on September 5, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

When it comes to expectations for the maturing smartwatch market, the pressure on Apple could not be higher. We’ve seen a ton of progress over the last year in the development of models associated with Android devices, but despite the major gains, there’s still this sense that big improvements are still needed before smartwatches really achieve mainstream appeal. Just as the release of the iPhone and iPad were market-changing launches, we’ve been wondering if Apple’s iWatch might similarly represent a sea ...

If you’ve kept track of all the recent changes that have emerged on five beta updates for iOS 8, it’s clear that Apple needs a wearable in order for some of these services to work.

Apple starts counting down towards next week’s event, promises livestream

Posted on September 4, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

IFA 2014 may be a great place to go if you’re into Android or Windows Phone, but iOS? The best we might hope for are some interesting third-party accessories, and even the launch of the coolest Bluetooth keyboard or wireless speaker won’t be able to make us forget that we have a real Apple event just days away, where news of next-gen hardware is essentially guaranteed to arrive. Sure, there have been (and will continue to be) plenty of last-minute stabs at just what hardware will debut (and when), but

Now or never: The future of smartwatches

Posted on September 3, 2014 by Adam Doud

I’m as much a fan of the smartwatch as anyone. Anyone who has not actually used one that is. My abstinence from using a smartwatch stems not from my lack of desire, nor a lack of funds. My failure lays solely on my adopted device platform. A Windows Phone user owning a smartwatch is more of a pipe dream these days. But that is not why I’m here to talk about smartwatches.Just because I’m a Windows Phone fan doesn’t mean I can’t look objectively at the landscape and report things as I see them. The way I’m seeing things these days, I’m wondering how much of a craze this whole ...
