Apple iPhone and Watch

It is one of the biggest weeks of the year in the technical industry. Apple is holding its annual iPhone unveiling on Tuesday at IFA in Berlin. September 9 marks a high holiday for Apple fanatics, and this year the company is expected to announce even more iThings than ever. While Apple never reveals anything before the day of event but rumors begins before the month of the event.

Apple is going to unveil two new iPhone this year. One with 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch both marked bigger than the current 4-inch screen. Some of the features of the new iPhone is it will be working on ultra-durable sapphire crystal screens, which would protect the iPhone 6 from scratches and cracks. Apple iPhone will include an NFC Chip for mobile payments and a new A8 processor.

News is, Apple is going to unveil its fifth new product in the market - Watch. This will be the first product in the absence of Steve Jobs. The Watch like the iPhone 6 is rumored to come in two sizes. The watch will do all sorts of cool stuff like tracking your sleep patterns and allowing to pay for things at terminals using NFC technology. It will also be linked to the HealthKit app that Apple previewed during its iOS 8. HealthKit can track heart rate, sleep patterns, and blood pressures and other stats. Users can also give doctors at certain health facilities access to the data.


Apple wants the Watch to be fashionable. However, Watch is also expected to sport a sapphire screen and NFC Chip. Price point is expected to be $400. This new product will face the problem of battery life. Competitors like Samsung, LG, and Google have been churning out new big and bulky smart watches over the past two years. Apple will announce the next iPad Air as well in future. Tuesday is already slated to be one of the most packed fall events in Apple’s history.
