Taiwan's Quanta to start mass production of Apple's smartwatch in July: source

TAIPEI: Taiwan's Quanta Computer Inc will start mass production of Apple Inc's first smartwatch in July, a source familiar with the matter said, as the US tech giant tries to prove it can still innovate against rival Samsung Electronics Co Ltd. 

The still-unnamed watch, which Apple followers have dubbed the iWatch, will be the company's first foray into a niche product category that many remain sceptical about, especially as to whether it can drive profits as growth slows in tech gadgets.
