What if Apple’s iWatch is’t an iWatch at all? What if it’s a spec, like CarPlay, that lets folks like Casio and Rolex put an Apple chip inside their watches to make them talk to your iPhone?
Problems solved:
- Apple doesn’t have to get into the fashion watch game, or make “ladies” and “gents” watches.
- The watch industry gets a shot in the arm (pun intended) as watches get useful again.
- You don’t need a power-sucking display. The iPhone is the display.
