The stock of Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) closed at $159.65 losing 0.75% in yesterday’s trading session. Some two years ago, the company released Apple Watch. At the moment, it is focusing on replicating the 1940s comic strip technology and a number of analysts are in total alignment with the fact that the advance will spur sales.
Technological advancements are fast sweeping across the globe and soon customers will be able to send text messages or make phone calls from Apple Watch without necessarily having an iPhone nearby.
A lot of tech enthusiasts have been taken by the idea of making calls using a wristwatch. The product was featured in a comic production called “Dick Tracy,” which had one private detective who made calls from his wrist to help bust bad guys.
Jeff Williams, the company’s Chief Operating Officer opined, “This has been our vision from the beginning. Now you can go for a run with just your watch and still be connected. It’s really nice to know you can be reached if needed.”
Sometime back, there were some providers that sold smart watches with mobile data connectivity. However, the devices they produced at first happened to be pretty bulky. Asides from that, they also suffered from poor battery life considering the point that data connection usually consumes extra power. Above all, it requires that the user be versed with a separate phone number.
Apple has outlined that its new Series 3 will be coming along with about 18 hours of battery life. The company asserted that all the four major U.S. carriers were soon going to be offering service for the watch.
T-Mobile US Inc (NASDAQ:TMUS) and AT&T Inc (NYSE:T) have expressed their opinions highlighting that the service vwould most probably cost an extra $10 a month. Analysts affirm that the new connectivity will end up igniting sales, though there is little consensus as to how much.
Customers will need to keep on paying for the extra data plan. However, analysts purport that it makes sense considering that carriers will be making it somehow easy to do.
