From InfoWorld: The Apple Watch will ship in April, CEO Tim Cook said on Tuesday, ending speculation about when Apple will release its first new category of product in more than four years.
Rumors about the release date have swirled ever since the device was shown in September. At that time, Apple said the smartwatch would ship in early 2015. It has yet to reveal a few key details about the product, such as its battery life.
Cook revealed the ship date during a conference call to discuss Apple's earnings, which sailed past expectations. Sales of iPhones and Macs helped its revenue soar to $74.6 billion for the quarter ended Dec. 27, up from $57.6 billion a year earlier.
iPhone sales came in at a record 74.5 million units and provided more than two-thirds of Apple's revenue, at $51.1 billion. That was up from 51 million iPhones and $32.5 billion revenue a year earlier.
Last quarter was the first full quarter that the iPhone 6 was available. Apple doesn't break down its sales by model, but Cook said the iPhone 6 was the top seller.
