So far, most of the phones in a watch arrived to Europe and the USA from the Far East. Today we may get a gadget with the logo of the manufacturer of popular smartphones and tablets: Apple is experimenting with watches.

As serious sources as the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, citing anonymous unfortunately, but apparently certain source inform about the fact that the Cupertino company is working on a smart watch with the function of instant messaging.

As confirmed by two informants, the device would be a wrist watch operate on Apple’s iOS platform, and an integral part of this would probably be a curved glass display. Maybe even the entire unit would be constructed of flexible glass, which is not so unlikely given that Corning Gorilla Glass manufacturer, confirmed working on such a solution. – It is called Willow Glass and can adapt to the wrist.

Apple does not comment on sensational press reports. Questions about the features of this handheld smartphone thus remain unanswered. It is not known whether it will support mobile payments, and will it have Siri, and - above all - is it to offer a complete navigation experience with Apple maps.
