WASHINGTON: As Apple eyeing to launch its flagship smartwatch, now new report recons that the device will be limited in quantity when launch.
According to reports, the highly anticipated Apple’s iWatch is scheduled to launch at the end of this year.
Well-connected and trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has now issued another research note in regards to Apple’s iWatch, predicting that it may face supply constraints when it launches later this year.
Kuo believes that Apple will launch its iWatch in limited quantities this year, shipping only three million units by the end of 2014, Apple Insider reports.
The analyst further mentions in his research note that market expectations for Apple’s iWatch are for between five and ten million units.
Delayed production however, will lower that number to roughly three million units by the end of the year. Apple is apparently facing some issues with the iWatch, particularly with the sapphire display glass cover, and this expected delay in production will be the result of those hurdles.
Apple has not confirmed its iWatch plans so far, but the rumor mill is nonetheless churning in anticipation of the big launch.
While some rumors suggested that Apple may take the wraps off its smartwatch at a press event in October, other reports claimed that production issues will delay the launch until 2015.
With nothing official at this point, however, it is highly recommended to take all leaks, rumors, and reports with a grain of salt.
