Watch Apple Scarcity should the Taptic Engine



One of the main problems of Apple Watch being the initial shortage, is that although they already spent nearly a week in the market are very few lucky ones who can enjoy and your SmartWatch. But, what the shortage of units Watch is that? As explained in The Wall Street Journal, the root of the problem would supply the Taptic Engine, one of the most important components of the clock.

At other times, shipping times of new generations of products like the iPhone or iPad have lengthened more than usual, but Apple had never reached the point of what has happened with the Watch. And the Apple Watch is not available in stores to buy until next June, as explained Angela Ahrendts through a statement to employees .



Until now the reasons why the availability of Apple Watch was so limited after putting on sale in nine countries around the world were unknown. Well, it seems that the main reason for this problem is in the production of Engine Taptic part of the inside of the Watch.

Apple would have detected some failures Taptic units Engine Watch

From The Wall Street Journal say the problem of availability of Apple Watch is one of the companies responsible for manufacturing the vibration motor or Taptic Engine, name that Apple has named this component. The Taptic Engine is one of the Watch key parts and is responsible for alerting the user through a subtle vibration arrival notification or when using new ways of interacting with others.


According to information provided by the publication, the companies responsible for developing the Taptic Engine Watch were AAC Technologies Holdings and Nidec Corp. However, after detecting problems with the component created by the first company Apple decided to transfer all production to the second .

Thus, the delay in delivery of more units of Apple Watch would have occurred after the US company allegedly asked other suppliers to slow down production to allow time for Nidec Corp. to manufacture enough units the Taptic Engine. On the other hand, to solve these problems of supply, the Cupertino will have to elect a new manufacturer to help assemble the Apple Watch.

No Apple Watch has hit the market with the defective component

CultofMac notes that it has not sent any unit with Apple Watch Taptic Engine defective because the failure was detected in the supply chain itself. And that is why, precisely, so has led Apple to limit the availability of Watch, although we hope they get things right again.


Apple is doing everything in its power to meet the high demand for Watch as quickly as possible, is that although many users have already bought theirs through pre-booking system will still have to wait a few weeks to I enjoy it. What is certain is that Apple Watch has had an incredible reception even have outsold all Android SmartWatch Wear together since these came to market.
