Apple delays iWatch production till November

Apple's iWatch will enter mass production in November later than previously predicted, Cnet.com reports, citing a research note issued Thursday by noted KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

While earlier reports had predicted that the smartwatch would go launch as early as October, Kuo's note said the revised prediction was the result of challenges created by new hardware and software development.

"We have pushed back our estimated time of iWatch mass production from late-September to mid- late- November. We also lower our forecast of iWatch 2014 shipments by 40% to 3mn units," Kuo wrote in a note obtained by 9to5mac.
