Apple Watch to start shipping in April

Start prepping your wrists: The long-awaited Apple Watch will start shipping this April. During Apple’s quarterly earnings call this Tuesday, CEO Tim Cook said to expect a release month of April but declined to give specific dates as to when we’ll be able to place an order for the device or what day, specifically, it will start shipping. As you’ll recall, the Apple Watch was announced in September 2014 and will include features such as heartbeat messaging, holistic fitness tracking, and the company’s latest Apple Pay technology. It is Apple’s first new category of devices since entering the tablet market with the iPad in 2010.

The creativity and the software innovation going on around Apple Watch is incredibly exciting…I can’t live without it.
