Apple set to make 63 million iWatches in 2014 priced at $199
Apple is rumoured to have teamed up with two Taiwanese suppliers to begin the making of its so-called iWatch wearable smart device, with plans to launch to market in the second half of 2014.
There are also mutterings that the Cupertino company will make a rather substantial 63.4 million of the smart watches in 2014, partnering with manufacturers Inventec and Quanta who will split the iWatch orders in a 60:40 ratio, respectively. If true, that sales figure would come close to Apple's total iPod sales from 2008 to 2010.
The news comes from an analyst for CIMB Securities Limited, Wang Wanli during an interview with The Commercial Times. According to Wanli, Apple will price the iWatch at $199, translating to around £128. However, with taxes and conversion rates, we'd expect it will sell in the UK in the region of £150.
