Apple introduced the Apple Watch in September 2014. Steve Jobs, former Apple CEO, passed away three years earlier, in 2011. What would you say Steve Jobs if i had seen the apple watch? We can't really be sure what his impressions would have been, but we can know that Apple's co-founder knew the company was working on a project to create a clock. According to this new information, the smartwatch would not be the first Apple device that would have been manufactured without Jobs having anything to do with it.
The information comes to us from Fortune magazine and in it they tell us that the popular belief says that Jony «I've started dreaming about the Apple Watch right after Steve Jobs 'death in October 2011. This had to be the next step in a dynasty, the first without Steve Jobs' leadership. ". But it also collects other statements that could contradict this belief.
According to Fortune, Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies, who had been in an on-off relationship with Jobs for 35 years, disagrees with what we all thought. Bajarín says that «Steve knew about the Apple Watch. Did not reject it as a product«. He does not say much more, but from his words we can understand that Steve Jobs had already seen the first designs or reports on a smartwatch and had left it parked waiting for a better time to launch it or to have something interesting to offer.
What Tim Bajarin says does not contradict what we all believe and Apple wants us to think, but it does make us think that in Cupertino they have not yet started anything from 0 since the ex-CEO passed away. Another question that remains is what Steve Jobs would think of the Apple Watch as we know it. As perfectionist as he was, the project would probably stay in the drawer hoping to present something really new. Are you agree?
