Why is the AppleWatch called “an iPhone” killer?
The Apple Watch is worn by the user nearly the entire day. The watch screed gives the users enough space for the daily use of the screen to do the jobs that they used to do on iPhones.
· This has made the phones redundant as it’s the ergonomics which lets the hand watch to be used more over the screens as in the mobile.
· This has realigned the users towards different user settings via the Apple Watch. This is thought to be a game-changer and a signal to bigger changes.
Why would Apple want to “kill” the iPhone by creating a new device?
Apple has not changed its mobile for the last 12 years since it has come to the screed display pressure pads as used gear. This sets the change of usage where Apple can come in with a major change in the future.
· This suggests that Apple would come for something new technologically which is making the shift of patters from phone to Hand Watches as evident from Apple Watch.
· Since the scope of Apple Watch can only reduce Apple’s i-phones so the nonreversible device like phones can be readjusted into regular devices like a watch which is looking for a breakthrough from Apples’ Side.
· This seems to be an innovation that gives Apple a breakaway form Google’s monopoly over phones is what Apple is seeking. So it wishes to do its first advent with the watch that would later extend to its IPods’ and other gears.
