It's been six whole months since Tim Cook revealed the Apple Watch to the world. Here we are again. With good reason, though. Apple may have already officially introduced us to its first smartwatch, but there were still some big questions left unanswered. Today Apple gathered the press to give the Watch the launch event it always deserved (and, you know, tell us how much it'll cost and when we can buy it, what apps we can expect etc.). Now we have some answers.
Developing...
First up, before all that, was the latest word on that much talked about battery life. Expect 18 hours of "general use" according to Cook. Basically, as assumed, you'll be charging this once a day. On a plus note, there's a magnetic charger that'll make connecting it a little bit more satisfying than fiddling with a USB cable. Cook reminded us that the Sport edition starts at $350 or $400 depending on size. Want the regular Watch (not the Sport or gold one), that'll start at a tidy $550, going up to an eye-watering $1050 if you add all the bells and whistles (there are many, many design configurations). This, incidentally, is for the smaller version. If you want the 42mm version, that's an extra $50. The watch will be available starting April 24th, though a few select people with deep, deep pockets can get their wrists inside the Watch Edition on April 10th for $10,000.
