Like I've said before, who is responsible for false rumors effect on stock prices? When will some government agency step in and protect investors from this ever escalating pile of rumors, lies, and half truths.
Apple isn't working on an iWatch with Swatch or anyone else. They are working on the 2014 iPod which just happens to have an wrist-band form factor and biosensors.
I agree completely. Apple rarely "collaborates" its way into new territory, preferring to go its own way. They may buy a related company for people or parts, but not to buy its way in. Even the Beats buy has yet to prove otherwise. The iPod name is known and respected. A wrist version would not be seen as a risky new thing, but the next iteration of a popular product.
A spokeswoman reportedly said that Swatch has supplied integrated circuits and other components to some mobile phone makers, but claims of any collaboration on a full-blown watch made with Apple are false.
The spokeswoman could have simply said they are not working with Apple, But she went on to put some clarification around her statement.
So they may not be working with Apple on an Apple Design, but they could still be working on their own designs if apple is doing the car play concept.
Indeed. Why VentureBeat didn't call Swatch to verify the rumour is beyond me. Come to think of it, actually not; they rather publish this than publishing a denied rumour.
That's why it's a rumor. However, companies lie all the time.

This is the best theory I've heard yet. If they just call it iPod nano, they won't show their hand with any new trademarks.
Apple won't risk their empire by allowing another company to design, build, and market their hardware. Pure silliness. You think they would allow Sony to design the iTV? Or Nokia to design the iPhone?
as well as the rokr by Motorola, the first PowerBooks were designed by Sony.

This new iteration of the iPod would need to be iPod "XYZ" unless all bandless forms of the iPod were discontinued, no? I don't see the nano, shuffle, touch, and classic going away any time soon.
Could it be - Apple supplies the "smart parts" with iOS and Apps while the other watch manufacturers or craftsmen put them as options into or onto their watches! The "smart parts" includes sapphire glass with touch interface and LCD, base electronics encased in liquid metal. Whoa lah! The possibilities can be endless....

Not true, Apple did a join design with Sony one a model long after the first Powerbooks, It came out about the same time as the performa products and it was suppose to be less feature lower cost product.

But wasn't it Sony that moved the keyboard towards the screen thereby creating a palmrest?

I'm pretty sure Sony had some major input into the Powerbook 100, which was one of the initial three Powerbooks.

They just need to work through every manufacturer and have them all deny it. Any that doesn't is suspect.
Personally, I think they're working with Tesla on their watch.

… I wish…all the f***ing rumors would stop.
You're no fun.
I can't imagine a goal for myself to spend four years of my life getting a degree in journalism to get a job writing about idiotic rumors endlessly.
Think of it as entry level training to be a financial analyst.

I get that, and fully agree. You know what the mantra within Apple is?
"If it's not on Apple.com, we don't know about it"
Ahh yes.
I still unfortunately have to repeat this daily to customers who obviously don't know what a search engine is.

They always deny deny deny and then you find out they are working with Apple...

Or car accessories.
