TheVerge also said, Apple has a big job to do in terms of building the right groove for the transfer of information and notifkasi between the iPhone and the iWatch.

Apple certainly has thought of everything in designing this new category of gadget. This is evident from the news about the existence of the 100-worker to the success of this iWatch.

Of the approximately 100 members of the team, not all employees are focused on developing hardware and software for these products. There are also employees who are appointed to design and consider strategies to market this one device.
