Pokemon Go app may be delayed for own wearable


The proposed Pokemon Go app for iOS is unlikely to ship by the end of the year, it seems. 9 to 5 Mac report that the delay is related to developer Niantic working on its own dedicated wearable.

Niantic was stalling in part because early next month the company is planning to announce its own hardware product, a wrist wearable it appears to be licensing and branding for its games. That's why the Apple Watch app isn't out yet, according to our same sources familiar with the situation, and it's also why Niantic was seemingly giving out smoke screen statements and refusing to confirm delays.
