Apple Clock Suggestion

I don't personally own an Apple Watch, but from what I've heard, they're fantastic devices. So, I came with an idea for a larger version of it, like the iMac in the Mac lineup. It's a smart alarm clock, that runs a modified version of iPadOS. On the display, there is an alarms tab, a tab for upcoming events, a tab to unlock the device, and obviously a main tab that displays the time. Using the Settings app, users can modify the appearance of the clock face and background. Face ID could be a viable feature, as well as an App Store, and a radio app too (but not one that uses the internet to get signal). iClock would only be compatible with only certain apps, because of its "smartclock" design, but music apps like Spotify, browsers like Chrome and Edge, and social media platforms are still available to download. "ClockOS" can come with the same apps as the normal iOS, with some additions, like Radio and the additional "Clock Face" tab in Settings.


Now onto finishes.


The iClock should come in painted aluminium/titanium/steel and wooden veneer, or without the veneer. The veneer could come in multiple types, to suit more of the iClock colours (which would be the same as the options for the Apple Watch).


Well, I suppose I've given a basic idea of something that could be a profitable new product. I hope you like my basic outline of the design, I took a long time to think about it. Oh, and one more thing: No matter what, DO NOT ADD A "BUCKET" NOTCH LIKE THE ONES ON THE NEW IPHONES! That wouldn't work at all. Keep in mind the iClock, if it is actually put into production, will be the world's first proper smartclock. Sure, there's those Amazon and Google things, but they are effectively the Nokia 3310s compared to the original iPhone (which I am a huge fan of). Anyway, my point here is this- Don't mess up something like this. This could be a really big deal, so you have to do it right. My basic design may have flaws, and I acknowledge that, but this is your project from here on out, not mine. I just enjoy making concepts, it's what I do. So, if you made it to the end, and you want something to add, just let me know in the comments.
