애플의 아이워치가 남성용은 1.7인치 올레드, 여성용은 1.3인치 올레드로 확정됐다고 데이빗 시에 (David Hsieh) 디스플레이서치 부사장이 13일 열린 대만 컨퍼런스에서 밝혔다.
애플이 공식적으로 아이워치 출시를 발표한 적은 없지만 팀쿡이 10월 실적 발표회에서 새로운 제품 카테고리들을 준비 중에 있다고 밝히면서 빠르면 올해 말 애플이 첫 스마트워치를 출시할 것으로 기대된다. 업계는 애플이 삼성의 갤럭시 기어를 의식해 플렉시블 디스플레이를 탑재할 가능성이 높다고 말했다.
외신에 따르면 애플은 최근 웨어러블 기기에 집중하기 위해 내년 하반기 출시로 예상됐던 TV 제품 출시를 연기할 계획이다.
폴 개그논 (Paul Gagnon) 디스플레이서치 북미TV시장연구이사는 “오랫동안 소문이 무성했던 애플의 TV세트 개발 계획은 다시 중단될 것으로 보인다. 대신 웨어러블 기기가 먼저 출시될 것으로 예상된다.”
그는 애플이 컨텐츠 부족과 웨어러블 기기에 집중하기 위해 TV개발을 유보했다고 분석했다.
한편, 아이워치는 블루투스 LE(Low Energy)기능을 연계해 전력소모를 줄이고 배터리 두께도 함께 줄일 수 있는 특허를 미특허청(USPTO)에 출원한 것으로 알려졌다.

iWatch to come in men’s, women’s sizes: DisplaySearch
By Kim Ji-hyun and Shin Ji-hye
Apple’s wearable iWatch is expected to come with a 1.7-inch OLED display for men’s watches and a 1.3-inch OLED screen for women, David Hsieh, DisplaySearch’s Vice President of the Greater China Market, said at a conference today in Taiwan, citing Apple sources.
Apple has not officially announced the launch, but the iWatch – Apple’s first wearable device -- is expected to be rolled out as early as the end of this year, given CEO Tim Cook’s latest remarks confirming new product categories.
It is yet to be confirmed whether the displays will be flexible but sources said it was a possibility, since Apple will want to upstage Samsung’s Galaxy Gear.
At the same time, Apple has reportedly put off the development of TVs to focus on wearable devices.
Paul Gagnon, director of North American TV research at DisplaySearch, said Monday that, “It appears that Apple’s long-rumored TV plans, which were far from concrete anyway, have been put on hold again, possibly to be replaced by a rollout of wearable devices.”
He added the TVs were initially expected to be announced in the second half of 2014, but that a lack of content and Apple’s decision to focus on wearables had once again put the plans on the back burner.
Meanwhile, other likely features of the new iWatch may include being lighter and more energy-efficient than its rivals.
Apple recently reportedly obtained patents for its Bluetooth low energy technology at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which is capable of reducing energy consumption and battery size in connection with Bluetooth.
There has also been speculation that the watch will feature biometric sensors that can collect health management information.
