The most expensive Apple smartwatches have disappeared from sale. This is reported by the PhoneArena edition with reference to the insider Mark Gurman.
Journalists refer to the Gourmet Power On paid mailing list for Bloomberg. In it, he noticed that in the Apple online store, sales of Apple Watch with a titanium case had stopped. The company's website states that this model of the device is not currently available, it is impossible to pre-order the device. Titanium watches have also disappeared from most Apple partner stores.
The titanium Apple Watch was a premium line. The cost of the most affordable devices started in the United States at $ 799, or about 60 thousand rubles.
The gourmet believes that the stock of this model has run out, but Apple does not intend to resume production of watches. The corporation believes that the smartwatch will not be successful in the coming months, as the release of the new Apple Watch series is planned in September. At the same time, the company did not officially announce the withdrawal of the series from sales.
According to the analyst, Apple may completely abandon the production of a premium line of its watches. For example, Apple Watch in a ceramic and gold case was previously available in the company's online store, but then they were removed from sale.
Predicting the future behavior of Apple, Mark Gurman believes that the company intends to reduce the number of chargers from five to three. In particular, top managers of the American company are considering the possibility of abandoning the Lightning connector in the iPhone and iPad in favor of a more universal USB-C. In addition, MagSafe wireless charger, released in 2020 for smartphones, may be compatible with other devices in the future.
At the end of July, Mark Gurman announced that the iPhone 13 will feature an always-on screen. It will allow you to display help information without the need to activate the screen or unlock the smartphone. The release of new Apple smartphones is due in September.
