According to DigiTimes, Apple's suppliers are gearing up to "ramp up" Apple Watch production which according to Apple's retail boss Angela Ahrendts is to be released in spring of 2015. DigiTimes isn't the most reliable of sources but usually get the supply chain rumors right.
Entry level Apple watch will cost $349 which will come with plastic band and aluminum chassis. Then there will be stainless steel model which will cost $500 and for the finale, there will be an 18- karat gold variant which will cost $4000 to $5000.
Industry sources told trade publications that chip suppliers are gearing up to start productions of the chips powering Apple Watch.
“Orders for chips for the Apple Watch, set to debut in early 2015, are estimated at 30-40 million units,” the sources indicated.
If this report is true we might be seeing the new Apple Watch by 14th February 2015.
