I Was Wrong about Apple’s iWatch. In September of 2010, I wrote a column in this space deflating the idea that Apple would ever make and sell a wristwatch. I still think my reasoning was sound. But I didn’t know then what I know now. Specifically, two Apple technologies have become central to Apple’s long-term strategy. These two products — Siri and iCloud — change everything. And because of this new information, plus a few new things we’ve learned about Apple in the past year, I’m completely reversing my opinion. I now believe the current rumors that Apple is getting into the wristwatch business.
I even think we can accurately imagine what Apple is likely to do in the wristwatch department. In my old post, I wrote that Apple is unique in the industry in that it has three criteria for entering an entirely new market: 1. 2. 3. All this makes sense — if you think of an iWatch as a wristwatch and a stand-alone device. What the Rumors Say Yes, this is just a rumor.
