The real purpose of the iWatch

If you ask most people who are a little knowledgeable about the upcoming iWatch, they would probably say that it’s a way to enhance the iPhone. That’s not so according to one analyst.

That’s not where Apple is going with iWatch.

Rather, Apple is looking to create a device that will allow you to control your music, your temperature, your security, your lighting, your energy use, your entertainment, and potentially much more, says Cantor Fitzgerald’s Brian White, who talked to Taiwanese and mainland China suppliers.
