Sources within Apple have "set low expectations" for the battery life of the iWatch, according to
The Information. The unnamed people haven't mentioned any specific details, but it's
cautioned that Apple could be "sandbagging" claims in order to make the shipping device seem more impressive.
The Information backs
recent reports suggesting the watch will be revealed next Tuesday, but only ship in 2015.
Longevity is one of the major obstacles with current smartwatches. With the exception of the Pebble, most current flagship models last no more than a single day on a charge. That's a barrier for a device meant to be worn constantly, particularly for travelers.
