iPhone

We're now less than five days from the grand unveiling of Apple's major new releases, including the company's inaugural smartwatch. Although we've a pile of info regarding the also-impending iPhone 6, the mere fact that the iWatch hasn't apparently gone into production as yet means that details have been incredibly scarce. Still, with announcement day now imminent, tidbits of info appear to be slipping through the next, and while Ming-Chi Kuo revealed earlier today that the device may include 8GB of storage and 512MB RAM, another reliable source has dropped some information pertaining to the device's other major features.

iOS 8 will add quite a bit to the repertoires of Apple's array of devices, but with the prospect of the company's first smartwatch also on the table, things are shaping up very interestingly. We're already aware of the significant emphasis on health and home automation thanks to the respective introductions of HealthKit and HomeKit back at WWDC, but with NFC finally becoming one of the Cupertino company's 'things', there's been rife speculation that mobile payments will be an integral part of the revitalized iOS experience.

Next week, Apple will take to the stage at the Flint Center for Performing Arts in Cupertino where it is likely to announce the iPhone 6, iWatch, and according to a well-respected analyst, the second-generation iPad Air. The iPhone keynote is regularly beamed live across the world through a variety of different mediums, and with less than five days to go now until the curtains are pulled up, Apple has announced the official live streaming options for those wishing to tune in to the action.
