Apple Watch is just the start of what he called 'a very important category' of products. Ive made those statements on Friday night where he was honored as a "San Francisco Treasure" by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.</p> <!--break--> <p>Ive stated:</p>
<p>Obviously, you're not going to read 'War and Peace' on your wrist. But for lightweight interactions, for casual glancing, it's absolutely fabulous. And I think this is the beginning of a very important category. With every bone in my body I know this is an important category, and this is the right place to wear it.</p>
<p>He also stated that while designing the first
iPhone gave him and his team the freedom to make something completely new, the Apple Watch is different because the wrist-based watch already has a long history. Ive said, "There are cultural and historical implications and expectations. That's why it's been such a difficult and humbling program."</p> <p>Do you think the Apple Watch is indeed the start of a new category or just a new product that already has a number of smartbands and smartwatches available?</p> <p>Source:
