Apple's smart iWatch will launch in mid 2014



KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has been fairly accurate regarding Apple hardware releases, claims that Apple's smart watch will not be released until the end of 2014.

For these reasons, we think mass production of the iWatch is more likely to begin in 2H14, not 2H13 as the market speculates.
