Is the market starting to reject the Apple Watch?

The week didn't start well for some Apple products. Launched in 2015, the Apple Watch is Apple's smart watch. With expectations of being the company's next big product, after the iPad, in 2011, the watch is still a mix of success and failure.

Both in Brazil, but mainly in Europe and the United States, it is common to see people using the Apple Watch, as well as buying them in Apple Stores, but the product is not as successful as iPhones or even iPads. If on the one hand the market is new, some technology companies are giving a step back on Apple's platform.

O Google without giving an explanation, failed to update the Apple Watch Google Maps app and consequently to support it. In addition to maps, the eBay and Amazon they also pulled their apps from the watchOS store.

On the one hand, it may not even make sense to use the Watch with the Amazon or eBay app, but when it loses support for Google Maps, the Apple Watch takes a big hit, since its own app is still not that good so.

Google is taking a break from the Apple Watch

In the case of Google Maps, while Google may want to push the Android, the company may have felt that it was not worth continuing to invest in the Apple Watch at the time. The company told the US website engadget that intends to support the Apple watch again “in the future".

Anyway, rumors point out that Apple should present the Watch Apple 3 coming soon with improvements in processing, battery and, with luck, with a blood glucose sensor.
