The iPhone 6 has managed to drum up quite a bit more excitement than your typical iPhone release, and there's fairly good reason for that. Whereas last year's launch wasn't much of an upgrade - we got an iPhone 5 with a bumped processor and Touch ID as well as another iPhone 5 with a plastic case - Apple has seemingly overhauled its famed handset line-up this time around, and as well as a 4.7-inch version, we're also expecting a 5.5-inch variant. In the case of the latter, bigger hardware will no doubt require a bigger battery, and more evidence has emerged that a 2,915mAh power pack will be used to keep the so-called 'iPhone 6L' ticking over.
The world is waiting in anticipation as Apple gears itself up to introduce its first wearable device on Tuesday. The much speculated device, likely to be called iWatch, and which will apparently be based on a modified version of iOS, has been in development for quite some time, with Apple only now being in a position to introduce it to the world. Information pertaining to the device has been relatively sparse, with Apple managing to keep the lid tightly on things during the run up. However, now, according to a new report, the Apple wearable will be capable of running third-party applications, with a number of large developers already using and interacting with the bespoke SDK.
Apple’s media event is slated to happen this coming Tuesday, the 9th of September, and amongst other announcement, the company is definitely going to reveal the larger, 4.7-inch iPhone 6. Another rumor that’s been really strong with respect to the expected product unveilings is the iWatch - Apple’s first wearable that’s probably going to function as a smartwatch, among other things. However, the elusive “iWatch” announcement isn’t as certain as the iPhone 6. but one pointer today indicates that Apple might be inching in that direction. According to Reuters, Apple is also extending invites to “top fashion editors and bloggers” for its 9/9 media event.

The iPhone 6 mightn't even be official yet, but already, its major components can be purchased in China. Given that Foxconn, Apple's main manufacturing partner, is based in mainland China, this isn't particularly surprising, and having already seen a leak of a working iPhone 6 earlier today, it's clear that the leakers have beaten Apple to the draw this time around.
Although Apple dazzled us with the Retina MacBook Pro back in 2012, it has dragged its heels in bringing the rest of its product line up to scratch. The idea of a Retina iMac is one that Apple fans can only still dream about, and with the very expensive Thunderbolt display still not up to par in the resolution stakes, those looking for a super-sharp experience have been forced to look elsewhere. Dell has long since been churning out 4K monitors for ultra high-def performance, and in announcing a new 27-inch 5K display yesterday, left us wondering if Apple would ever follow suit.
We're now just three days away from the iPhone 6 announcement that we've all been counting down to, and with leaks upon leaks already having spoiled some aspects of the big unveiling, one feature that we're still largely in the dark about it mobile payments.
Apple's design team may be second to none when it comes to constantly dreaming up gorgeous computers and portables, but that doesn't mean that even Jony Ive's team can't be improved upon. That's presumably why Apple has snapped up design genius and Ive's friend Marc Newson.
Google's Project Glass has been in the works for years now, and since the initial dev roll-out back in 2013, generated quite a significant amount of interest in tech circles. First it was a closed beta available to selected creatives and developers, before eventually becoming an invitation-only enterprise. This year, the Explorer Edition relaxed the invitation system, making the gadget available in the UK and US to the masses, and now, finally, the head-mounted gadget is available at the Play Store with all of those lovely accessories to boot.
