Pricing has thus far remained a mystery but we've speculated that Apple could ultimately want to field a range of devices at a range of price points, similar to what they've done with the iPod lineup in the past. That would let a range of customers have access to HealthKit (http://www.imore.com/health), HomeKit (http://www.imore.com/homekit), the new payment system, and more. Now one of those price-points is rumored to be around $400.<!--break--> Re/Code (http://recode.net/2014/08/30/apple-has-considered-400-price-for-wearable-device/)</p>

<p>Apple executives have discussed charging around $400 for the company's new wearable device. Pricing has yet to be finalized for the forthcoming product, which is expected to begin shipping next year. Sources say consumers should expect a range of prices for different models including lower priced versions.</p>

<p>Of course, the iPad was originally rumored to start at $1000 and ended up shipping at $500, so it's important to remember that nothing is official until Apple announces it.</p> <p>While we're waiting, though, what would an iWatch or Apple wearable have to be packing for you to consider spending $400 on it?</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26658"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3e0017c2/sc/5/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
