Well they could patent the band charging system.

Of course my guess is only a guess. It might even be later on for a iphone-free capability to make phone calls without the iphone. Dunno.

They'd first have to license the watch band connection system from Apple. An Australian watch expert was commenting that he was absolutely floored that in the over 100 years of wristwatch history no one had come up with such an elegant interchangeable strap/watch and connection system as Apple's design for the watch industry to standardize on instead of the breakable spring pin system, which accounted for more lost watches than any other cause!

Reminiscent of the stupid hype we heard regarding Apple's "innovative" magnetic connector which could be found on millions of rice cookers made in Asia.

APPLE could patent the band charging system. Not sure why you thought I meant someone else.
