iWatch to debut alongside iPhone 6 on September 9

Apple will unveil its long rumoured iWatch next to the iPhone 6 on September 9, according to those closely following the product’s development.

According to John Paczkowski, Apple is indeed planning to announce its first wearable on September 9. That’s the date the firm has supposedly set aside for a media event for its next-gen iPhones, too.

Paczkowski refers to the device as “a new wearable,” so perhaps Apple is really planning on showing off the iSock … we kid. So here’s what to look forward to for September 9: Two new iPhones (a 4.7 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6) and the iWatch.

Like the new iPhones, the iWatch will likely make use of Apple’s HealthKit and HomeKit platforms to deliver fitness, health and control-your-toaster functions unseen from the company before.

Apple is relatively late to the wearable game; Samsung and Google are just a few names already pumping out smartwatches and Glasses of every shape and size. That being said, Apple has a history of being a latecomer in the name of getting a product right.
