The Apple Watch comes with a way to charge the wearable, but according to a newly-leaked image, another option is on the horizon.
As initially revealed by iGeneration [translated], Apple has an in-house charging dock for the Watch on the way. The new dock was first showcased in a couple of images, thanks to Mr. Blurrycam, and show a circular dock that looks like a larger version of the standard charging option for the Watch.
According to the initial report, the new dock will be called the “Magnetic Charging Dock,” which lines up with the images tied to the report. The dock will allegedly support the Watch in both landscape and portrait modes, so you won’t have to put it on in a certain way to make sure it’s charging when you need it to.
The new dock will also come with a Lightning cable, which will be used to charge the Watch while it’s on the dock. However, the packaging doesn’t appear to indicate that it will feature a USB power adapter. As far as pricing goes, the packaging suggests it will retail for €89, which means it will probably retail for $79.
As far as a launch date, that still remains to be seen.
Update: Another site (Grobgebloggt.de) has gotten their hands on more images of the upcoming Magnetic Charging Dock, and you can see them just below. The new report also indicates the Lightning cable measures in at 2m.
What do you think of the idea and price?
