Apple Orders 5 Million Watches, Ahead of Wearable Launch

Apple is Reportedly Looking to Sell around 5 Million Watches in the 1st 3 Months after it Launches the Wearable. The News Doesn’t Come from Apple itself but rather, from Quanta Computer, the Company that Builds and Assembles the Long-Awaited 'Apple Watch'. Around Half of those 5-6 Million Units will be the Lower-End Sport Model while the High-End Model is Expected to Account for 20% of the Order. The Watch will be Launched in April according to Apple CEO, Tim Cook, Who's the One that 1st Unveiled the Device back in September of 2014. Despite Having been Announced so Long Ago, the 'Apple Watch' might be Underwhelming in its 1st Iteration. According to Reports, the Device will Only Feature Modest Battery Life (+/- 16h), One of the Primary Problems with Wearables Today. Many had Hoped that Apple would be the Company to Solve this Issue but, it Seems they Have Yet to Find an Adequate Solution. Not Only that but, Certain Features which were Originally Touted at the Unveiling, Have now been Reportedly Dropped from the Device. Still Apple is Nothing if Not Successful and there’s Little Doubt that, the 'Apple Watch' will be Appealing to Many. Whether it Proves as Big of a Hit as the Company Hopes for Remains to be Seen after its Launch.
