Apple Reported to Begin Shipping Apple Watch in March, 12-Inch MacBook Air in Early 2015Apple will begin shipping the
Apple Watch in March and will also look to launch its new
12-inch MacBook Air during this quarter, according to a new report by KGI Securities analyst Ming Chi Kuo. The analyst also predicted that iPhone shipments would beat expectations for Q1 2015 with over 61 million units shipped, while iPad shipments are expected to total to 10 million units.
Kuo notes that Apple may reveal more details about the Apple Watch before its official launch, revealing specifics on battery life and the start of pre-orders. Most components of the Apple Watch will see high shipments during the quarter, but other key components are expected to see low production yields which may cause a constrained supply. Kuo predicts that Apple will ship 2.8 million Apple Watch units in Q1 2015, and his estimate for a March launch falls in line with
previous reports.

Kuo's estimate for a Q1 2015 launch of the new 12-inch MacBook Air falls in line with a
report earlier this month which stated that Apple supplier Quanta Computer was ramping up production of the notebook for a release this quarter. The 12-inch MacBook Air is expected to feature a new ultra-thin, fan-less design with a high resolution Retina display and a
low-power Intel Core M processor. The notebook is also said to be one of the first to take advantage of the new
reversible USB Type C connector, which may also be used for charging.
