Apple's iWatch: A 1.3-Inch Screen For Women And A 1.7-Inch Screen For Men
Nov 14, 2013 20:16
According to speculation from David Hsieh, Apple will sell two versions of the iWatch next year. He is the VP of the Greater China Market for DisplaySearch.
According to Hsieh, Apple will make two types. A 1.7 inch OLED screen for men and a 1.3 inch OLED screen for women. He made the comments at a conference in Taiwan, and the Korea Herald reported them.
But how is he sure of it? Turns out, Hsieh has a decent track record predicting Apple's products. In 2012, he forecasted the iPhone 5 screen size, and iPad Mini screen size.
Consumer enthusiasm for an iWatch is very low according to Apple analyst Gene Munster. Instead, most customers want an Apple TV.
For now, we're not sure how an iWatch would look like. And if true, the wearable tech segment could become a very hot market with Samsung, Google and Microsoft competing in that space too.
