From MacWorld: The Apple Watch’s release date is still under wraps, but now we know that January and February are out of the running for the “early 2015” time frame Apple has teased.
Angela Ahrendts, the company’s senior VP of retail and online stores, told employees in video remarks that the watch launch will happen after Chinese New Year on Feb. 19. 9to5Mac obtained a transcript of the message, in which Arendts says the next few months will be a “marathon” for Apple store workers: first, the holiday rush, then Chinese New Year, then the Apple Watch release in spring.
We were hearing rumors of a Valentine’s Day release, but Apple is still working to get developers on board. If the Apple Watch is going to be a hit, it needs amazing apps on launch day. The company is looking for an Apple Watch Evangelist, according to a job listing posted last Thursday.
Apple is looking for an iOS app development expert, the listing says, to help third-party developers build Apple Watch apps. Duties also include crafting presentations for the Worldwide Developers Conference, so it looks we’ll see plenty of Apple Watch next June. A look at the qualifications shows that programming newbies need not apply.
