So far, there is no definitive answer about what the iWatch's screen will look like.
Reuters reported, "Apple will introduce a smartwatch with a display that likely measures 2.5 inches diagonally and is slightly rectangular."
But Brian Blair of Rosenblatt Securities was in Asia and said it will have a round face.
Who to believe? In general we would side with Reuters, which has a track record of being right. But a 2.5-inch screen would be big and bulky. A round face makes sense since Apple has started making more round icons in iOS, its mobile operating system.
For now, this is a toss up! We lean rectangle since it makes more sense.
