New Trouble in Iwatch

Taiwan DigiTimes revealed that Iwatch has been in the early pilot production already.

Some news said, Iwatch would pay attention to biological tracking functionality and it could trace the health and sports of users by sensors, such as pedometer and cardio tachometer. Apple had applied a series of patents and was registering trademark for the smart watch in some countries.

DigiTimes also reported that a new problem occurred in Iwatch, which leaded to a yield of less than 50%. And the reason was that it failed when treated on the surface of metal bases made by metal injection molding (MIM).

Meanwhile, Toq Smart Watch from Qualcomm has encountered such problems. Generally, MIM is always applied for mass production of metal parts with high precision and complex shapes, achieving special appearances and keeping satisfactory strength. However, MIM demands strict requirements in manufacturing processes, for which the production of Top has been affected.
