Next week Apple CEO Tim Cook will take the stage at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts next week to, we believe, tell us more about Apple's newest line of products - the Apple Watch.
We found out a lot about the Apple Watch during the September 2014 event when it was announced. We know what it looks like, we know that there are two sizes (38mm and 42mm case sizes)' we know that there are three 'collections' (Apple Watch Sport, Apple Watch, and the Apple Watch Edition, a total of 34 models), we know that it will start at $350. We also know it will come in a range of finishes and straps.
On the tech front there's also a lot that we know. The display is a flexible retina unit ranging from 290 to 302 pixels-per-inch based on screen size. The case will be offered in composite and ceramic (depending on model) and the lens will be either strengthened glass or sapphire (again depending on model).
The Apple Watch will be powered by a custom S1 processor, will run Watch OS, feature a Digital Crown, feature custom MagSafe inductive charger, and come equipped with a raft of sensors.
Now this is the stuff we already know, and while I'm sure that someone will refresh our memory about this stuff during the event, what I'm more interested in is the things we don't know.
Another thing to keep an eye out for is the gaps this opens up. For example, when Apple unveiled the first iPhone, all that space on the Home screen for more icons made it clear that apps were coming. When Apple unveiled the iPad, it got us thinking about smaller iPads or bigger iPhones (both of which we now have). What gaps will the Apple Watch open up for future products and services?
