The cult of Apple is bigger than it has ever been. These diehard fans (including us) cannot wait to see what new Apple Products will be released in 2013. Rumors and official documents suggest that an iWatch is coming soon.
Apple has officially filed a patent for the name “iWatch” in the country of Japan. According to a June 3 report (which was made public last week), Apple filed official documents with the Japan Patent Office.
A spokesman for Apple declined to comment.
This announcement couldn’t come at a better time for Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive officer. He has recently drawn criticism from various industry analysts, who claim that Tim Cook has failed to deliver a new breakout product.
Past corporate filings indicate that, "the company has a team of about 100 product designers working on a wristwatch-like device that may perform some of the tasks now handled by the iPhone and iPad.”
It would appear that the iWatch is something more than a rumor at this point. American publication USA Today did an excellent job creating a timeline of Apple’s iWatch progress:
“September 2012: Apple was granted a patent for an electromagnetic induction system that could allow a device to be charged by shaking, a technology that would certainly be useful for the iWatch.
December 2012: The company was awarded a patent for a new process for creating high-quality curved glass.
February 2013: Apple was granted a patent for an 'integrated touch sensor and solar assembly,' which would allow a solar panel to capture energy from the sun while also being an optical sensor of a touchscreen. This technology could allow for Apple to make compact yet highly capable and energy efficient gadgets, like an iWatch.”
