Apple is rumoured to be developing an iWatch so beautiful you'll want to cry (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/tim-green-the-apple-iwatch-will-have-no-minute-hand-or-numbers/020593), though it won't have a minute hand or numbers. Of course, the firm hasn't confirmed a wrist-based device, leaving conjecture to build on the back of its patent acquisition.
Seemingly, tangible evidence is irrelevant when it comes to Apple, as 19 per cent of UK smartphone owners plan to buy an iWatch. It supports past research that showed 35 per cent of Brits have got into debt over Apple products. (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/35-per-cent-of-britons-have-got-into-debt-for-apple-s-products/017245)
The premature buyers would be prepared to spend £174 on the gizmo, according to VoucherCodes.co.uk (http://www.vouchercodes.co.uk/), while 11 per cent of respondents would be happy to spend over £200 do be one of the first owners.
It's unknown what features the iWatch will include, but 40 per cent want text, 27 per cent want wireless charging, 24 per cent want Siri voice control and 21 per cent want health monitoring.
Duncan Jennings, co-founder of VoucherCodes.co.uk , said: "Despite Samsung stealing a march on Apple of late, this research shows its products still have a devoted customer base, with fans already looking forward to getting their hands on the first piece of wearable tech from the brand.
"However, with price points predicted to be in the region of £200 to £300, the majority of tech fans will need to wait for the iWatch to come down in price or start saving if they want to get their hands on one."
