iWatch

It's a rumor that crops up every year and has Apple supposedly bringing NFC support to whatever iPhone it is working on at the time. This year has been no different, but with perhaps a little more to it this time around. If you've been hopeful of an NFC equipped iPhone in the past, then you may be in luck.

With Samsung having already rolled out a handful of smartwatches and several other companies jumping on the Android Wear bandwagon, it's strongly suspected that Apple will also come through with its first smartwatch at some point later this year. For the most part, it has been suggested that the 'iWatch' would arrive after the small matter of the iPhone 6 and iPad refresh had been resolved, but now, a very reliable source has indicated that a new wearable will also be on the agenda for September 9th.

With Google having recently showcased Android Wear, a smartwatch specific flavor of its famed mobile operating system, it is widely presumed that Apple will follow suit and build its own competitor. Even though, earlier on this year, it was reckoned that Apple may drop the so-called iWatch alongside the iPhone 6, it has long since been suspected that the wearable would in fact be delayed until the holiday season, but in an interesting twist, it appears that the also-delayed 5.5-inch iPhone 6 may be joining it.
