A new report from Nikkei says Apple will launch its iWatch in October and it will feature a curved OLED touchscreen and be equipped with a centralized function to manage users' biometric information via the iPhone.

Though the details of services have yet to be released, specs for the new product are being finalized, according to industry sources. It will likely use a curved organic light-emitting diode (OLED) touchscreen and collect health-related data, such as calorie consumption, sleep activity, blood glucose and blood oxygen levels. It will also allow users to read messages sent by smartphones.

A parts manufacturer tells the site that Apple plans monthly output of about 3-5 million units. That is higher than total global sales of smartwatch devices last year.

As it mentioned in its WWDC keynote, Apple has teamed up with Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic to develop ways of analyzing collected health data and applying it to health management.

The company is also said to have a partnership with Nike. Sources tell the site that the two companies have likely agreed to integrate their services in the future and that Nike may eventually pull out of the device business to concentrate on services.

Who cares about who had what features first. The bottom line comes down to quality of the product. For the most part, Apple comes out with more quality features than Samsung or a few other companies that makes smartphones and/or tablets. Also, copying is part of technology and as long as u don't infringe on other patents, u are fine. There are some features that Samsung came out first and there are also some features that Apple came out first also. Doesn't matter, cause as I said quality is what matters.

Tony is a closet Apple lover. That's why he loves coming here to an Apple site. He just can't accept his inner feelings and masks it by posting opposite things about Apple and it's products. Let him be, he'll come out of the closet one day.

Yepper- The only reason why apple is where it is today is because Bill Gates gave Apple 150 million dollars to save apple. WIth Microsoft your company wouldnt be there today, and the main reason why they are making so much sales is because of the free warranty replacement they give you for the iphone, ipads, etc... thats why they buy more.. Apple has the best warranty coverage take that way, and you will see a big decrease in market drop. As far as I can tell Apple stocks are going down lol.... https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#q=apple+stocks

The reality's way of apple being here was they made so much off of selling macs dill bates was a runner up and its current os clearly explains it, now it will end up in an endless cycle especially the surface because it doesn't even look like a computer, what would microjunk do without apple, we all know everyone needs fruit and dairy to survive and that's where these guys came in following apple, as far as microsocks warrently goes what do they have to cover people's mistakes compared to AppleCare, nothing and that's why people have lived their lives away from them due to blue screen of death like your mind is right know finding all these myths, as far as you wish apple stocks go down what's your excuse, did you watch the keynote or are you still hunting for supporters or better yet paying them to believe you?
