Apple to Unveil Wearable Device on September 9 Alongside iPhone 6Apple has plans to unveil its upcoming wearable device in September, alongside the iPhone 6, reports
Re/code. The site previously suggested Apple had planned to debut the device during an October event, but now says that plans have changed.
Remember back in June when I said Apple hoped to schedule a special event in October to show off a new wearable device? Remember how I also said this: "Could things change between now and fall? That's certainly possible." Turns out that was a prescient hedge, because things have changed. Apple now plans to unveil a new wearable alongside the two next-generation iPhones we told you the company will debut on September 9th.
According to
Re/code, the device will "make good use" of both HealthKit and HomeKit, two sets of APIs that were introduced during WWDC. While HealthKit focuses on health and fitness, HomeKit is a home automation platform designed to allow users to control connected devices.
Though Apple has plans to introduce a wearable device in September, there is no word on when the device might ship. Given a lack of part leaks and rumors pointing towards a late 2014 or early 2015 launch, it is likely the iWatch will be shown several months before it will be available to consumers.
