Unnamed insiders have been cited as saying that a team of 100 Apple staff - headed by senior executives - has been assembled to work on the product, implying that the iWatch is “beyond the experimentation phase”.
Apple’s senior director of engineering, James Foster, and another manager are part of the iWatch team, according to Bloomberg.
The latest leak comes – some would say conveniently – at a time when the Apple chief executive Tim Cook is under pressure to demonstrate, amid slowing sales and a falling share price, that the company is still innovating.
Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference in San Francisco yesterday, Mr Cook said the innovation culture at Apple "has never been stronger".
He added: “The boldness, ambition, belief there aren’t limits, a desire to make the very best products in the world. It’s the strongest ever. It’s in the DNA of the company.”
