“According to the latest reports coming from the Chinese media (citing ‘Apple insiders’), iWatch’s development has already been completed (meaning design, technical specs, features, etc),” G 4 Games reports. “However, the gadget is being held back (aka is not being manufactured yet) because it needs to be certified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).”
