The rumoured Apple iWatch set for a 2014 reveal may have a flexible display as new rumours surface that Apple are working on 3 designs for the smartwatch using flexible displays. These rumours come from Korean media who are the likely makers of said flexible displays like Samsung's Youm and LG's flexible OLED displays. According to these reports, Apple is looking at 1.3-inch, 1.4-inch and 1.5-inch display sizes while "a prototype of the 1.5-inch has already been made". Unfortunately, no other tech specs or features were mentioned and we again have no Malaysia release dates or pricing for the Apple iWatch. Previous rumours indicate that we could see the Apple iWatch in late 2014, which could be the next IFA event and along with a possible iPhone 6 announcement. As usual, stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.

While Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch is expected to be revealed in early September 2013, an analyst from the CIMB Group has said that the Apple iWatch may come in late 2014 and not early 2014 as many have thought. According to this analyst the iWatch will be priced from $149 (RM494) to $229 (RM760) and positioned to replace Apple's iPod range of media players. Since this is a financial analyst, the predictions go on to estimate that the iWatch will ship up to 63.4 million units in 2014 alone and will generate up to 19% worth of profits for Invetec, the company said to be manufacturing the Apple iWatch. As it is just a prediction and a really far ahead one at that, we caution you to take this rumour with one big pinch of salt. Unfortunately, there weren't any tech specs, features or exact Malaysia release dates but stay tuned as we'll keep you updated about the latest iWatch developments.

While the Apple iWatch definitely looks to become a reality soon, there has been little to no news as to how the iWatch may actually look. A concept render by designer Stephen Olmstead shows how Apple could do a stylish yet realistic iWatch without having to make it look like a "rectangular screen bolted onto a watch band" as Olmstead puts it. Going for a simple rounded watch look, the concept uses an e-ink display for longer battery life and postulates that it could be used as a tether or remote camera shutter trigger along with Siri voice commands. It is by no means an official render though, but all in all, the concept looks very achievable yet retains the same look and feel of a stylish leather watch so do check out all the images below for yourself.

Apple really makes all kinds of patents, but some just seem to fit with what they're doing at the time like this patent describing a design for flexible batteries. The patent itself was filed in December 2011 but it covers the design of a flexible battery pack which allows the battery to be shaped to fit a form factor of an electronic device. Apart from being perfectly suited for Apple's upcoming iWatch, the isolated cell design allows it to be more reliable in that in case one of the cells fail the other cells will not fail together. While it seems to fit with the iWatch, this flexible battery design could just as well be used in any of Apple's other devices.

Apple really comes up with some interesting patents and one of their more recent patents sounds particularly well suited for devices with small screens, which also sounds particularly well suited for Apple's upcoming iWatch. The patent in question is for a bezel technology that disappears (and becomes touch capable) and reappears (becoming insensitive bezel) when needed. Believe it or not, bezels are quite necessary for most touchscreen devices as they help offer a place to grip, however, for a small touchscreen like on the upcoming iWatch, having a situation where you need a bit more space could come in handy.

It is always interesting to see behind-the-scene shots of how the people who made something truly excellent came to those decisions. That being said, the Samsung Galaxy S4 / S IV creators and designers supposedly got their inspiration for it from the stars in the night sky. The HTC One design team on the other hand were aiming for zero-gap construction which resulted in the beautifully elegant aluminum unibody design available from the HTC One. The Apple iPhone 5 was also designed with the idea of making a much better phone than before.
