One report claims there’s a reason why Apple chose to omit any details about the Apple Watch’s battery life at its reveal on Tuesday. Re/code reports that according to sources “Apple isn’t yet happy with the watch’s battery life”, which for the time being lasts for “about a day” meaning that owners would be required to charge the device every night.
It goes without saying that this could prove potentially awkward if away from home.
The site adds that Apple is currently “working on various modifications ahead of the device’s 2015 launch to improve it”.
The company wouldn’t comment officially on the Apple Watch’s battery life but did reaffirm the daily charge requirement.
“There’s a lot of new technology packed into Apple Watch and we think people will love using it throughout the day,” Apple spokesperson told Nat Kerri.
“We anticipate that people will charge nightly which is why we designed an innovative charging solution that combines our MagSafe technology and inductive charging.”
