Apple Hiring Engineers to Fix iWatch Design Issues
According to the Financial Times, Apple is aggressively hiring fresh talent to help fix various design issues with its iWatch. Sources told the FT that development of the iWatch has gone from an exploratory phase to a full-fledged product development initiative but the timing of this new hiring spree indicates that Apple’s first new product since the death of Steve Jobs may not be ready until the latter part of 2014. There is still the possibility that CEO Tim Cook could scrap the idea completely.
Critics fear that Apple’s iWatch could end up being too late to make the type of impact that the iPod and iPhone made on the market. With numerous major tech companies reportedly working on wearable computing initiatives, the iWatch may be too late unless it turns out to be a blowout product—something increasingly difficult to achieve in the tech space today.
