If you had plans to order AT&T Apple Watch just like you did with AT&T iPhone 6 or other Apple smartphones you are out of luck. The U.S. mobile networks are still either silent about their smartwatch sales plans or confirm that they have no intentions to carry this product in April.
Will AT&T carry the Apple Watch? A lot of customers are now asking this question. The truth can upset you or make you happy. AT&T will not offer the Watch on April 10 when this device becomes available for pre-orders or April 24 when the iOS giant releases it officially. The mobile company continues to sell the ‘fruit’ smartphones but it has no plans to carry the watch at launch.
Other wireless networks in the United States are currently silent about their watch sales plans. According to AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel, the carrier will not sell the watch at its release. This network was the first one to sell iPhone years ago but this doesn’t seem to happen with the new device. Other carriers haven’t confirmed their decisions yet but they don’t speak about carrying the watch either.
Is it the price or Apple rules that influence this situation? The cheapest smartwatch will cost $349 and the price on the luxurious models will start at $10,000. Such high cost can scary potential customers away and this could be the reason why U.S. carriers are not going to sell the gadget on its launch date. Apple might also restrict sales to its stores and boutiques. We don’t know for sure though.
While Apple Watch AT&T won’t be available in April you can still pre-order it directly from Apple beginning on Friday, April 10. Are you planning on getting this personal device or not? How much are you willing to pay for it?
