Appleā€™s iWatch Rumored To Be Priced At $400

We know the iPhone 6 will be making itā€™s face known September 9th but the rumor of an iWatch is still in the air. Now re/code is reporting that Apple is considering pricing their wearable at a hefty $400. Considering that Android based wearables are clocking in at $300 for the high end Samsung, $249 (rumored) for the Moto 360 and $199 for the Samsung Gear Live, $400 for an Apple wearable is a bit of a stretch. This is Apple though and they tend to mark up price when they feel their product is superior to the competition (of course everyoneā€™s opinion will vary).

But re/code is reporting that there may be a variety of models to choose from so price points may be lower for the other models, the rumored $400 is for the high end wearable. This is Appleā€™s first dip into wearables and from the rumors it sounds like theyā€™re wanting to make the space their own, as is often their goal. The interesting thing is theyā€™ve been pretty locked down IF they are working on a wearable as we havenā€™t seen any leaks as we have with the iPhone 6.

ā€œThere are lots of gadgets in this space right now, but thereā€™s nothing great out there,ā€ Cook said last year. ā€œBut none of them are going to convince a kid that hasnā€™t worn glasses or a band to wear one ā€¦ There are a lot of problems to solve in this space. ā€¦ Itā€™s ripe for exploration. I think there will be tons of companies playing in this space.ā€

Weā€™ll so find out as September 9th is nearing, could we be seeing that tight integration between iOS8 and Yosemite stretch over to a wearable? We canā€™t say if this is going to be a hit or miss until we have something to test so weā€™re waiting on September 9th. Let us know what you think of a possible iWatch in the comments below or on Google+, Facebook and Twitter.
