Tim Cook: Apple Watch Starts Shipping this April
Early 2015. That was the answer I would give to anyone who asked me “when is the Apple Watch going to be released?”
But now that Apple presented the financial results for its fiscal 2015 first quarter ended December 27, 2014, I can present a new answer: this April.
People keep asking me: “George, when’s Apple going to roll out that smartwatch of theirs?” And every time they ask, I give them the same answer: “early 2015.”
Until now that is. As of this week, I can give a more precise answer: this April. You see, during Apple’s quarterly earnings call this Tuesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook mentioned that the Apple Watch will start shipping in April.
“Development for Apple Watch is right on schedule, and we expect to be shipping in April,” Cook said. “Developers are hard at work on apps, notifications, and information summaries that we call Glances, all designed specifically for the watch’s user interface. The creativity and software innovation going on around Apple Watch is incredibly exciting, and we can’t wait for our customers to experience them when Apple Watch becomes available.”
Apple introduced the Apple Watch back in September 2014. If you want to check out my detailed Apple Watch report from September 2014, then click this link. If not, here are the highlights:
