Wearing iWatch is Like Having an iPhone
The Apple's wearable iWatch is creating a huge market excitement. Each day, there are rumors being added to a list of its features. To add to this, a video conceived by Mindspi Vision has been recently uploaded in You tube.
The new video of the upcoming Apple's smartwatch showed a "fashionable" device running iOS with biometrics and other features providing integration with other iOS devices (MacRumors). It highlights the concept of iOS 8 Healthbook app. The iWatch will be a companion for other iOS devices ready to measure health parameters, rather than a standalone iOS gadget.
The Healthbook app will entirely be focusing on the healthcare part by tracking the fitness data, including heart rate, burnt calories, steps taken and walked miles. It also provides notifications to remind when to take medication which works well with iWatch.
The iOS 8 focusing on healthcare is built upon the M7 co-processor hardware, which is also featured in iPhone. There is no doubt that iWatch is also in-built with such hardware processor.
When launching iPhone 5S, Apple highlighted the M7 co-processor that would enable "a new generation of health and fitness apps."
The new iWatch video also shows the smartwatch as a slim and sleek wearable gadget that would feature a large, flexible and touchscreen display.
It was reporetd in the past that Apple may include the TouchID fingerprint scanning technology found in iPhone 5s with iWatch, which helps in keeping all data secure if the iWatch is lost by mistake. Such a feature is only possible on a large screen, which the video likely shows.
Although there is no support for a Phone app, an iWatch can perform many iPhone functions, including texting, considering the size of the device.
The concept video also features several other essentials of an iPhone, including home button, volume rockers and standby button. In late April, an Apple patent came with a diagram that showed iWatch which could feature camera, curved display, antenna, miniature home button and ambient light sensor.
It might be possible that the video imagines such features while demonstrating it. SIM support is also highlighted which would mean that iWatch would not require a connection to an iOS device.
