We are now just days away from the unveiling of Apple's major new releases. These will include the smartwatch and the iPhone 6. We have been receiving a great deal of information on the iPhone 6 but when it comes to the iWatch the details have been pretty scarce. The main reason for this is that the iWatch has apparently gone into production yet. Still, the official announcement is only days away and small bits of information do seem to be trickling through. Ming Chi Kuo revealed earlier that the iWatch may include 8GB of storage and 512MB RAM.
The latest report we have seen comes from The New York Times and it implies that the iWatch/iBand will feature a flexible display, and although this isn't the first time that we have heard this, the fact that it is coming from The New York Times just days before the Keynote speech does make us think it is the real deal. Allowing the device to have a curved display would mean that it would fit more comfortably on your wrist, and with numerous reports touting two separate configurations to suit both men and women, it is clear that Apple won't be straying too far from its ethos of delivering fashionable products.
Despite keeping the iWatch fashionable, Apple also plans to grab a piece of the fitness and health market and HealthKit will be at the heart of the iWatch's functionality. It is expected that the flexible panel will be protected by sapphire glass, a material that has popped up as nauseam over the last few months and that is strongly suspected to be covering at least some of the iPhone 6 as well.
The New York Times has also suggested that the upcoming iPhone 6 will feature a �one-handed mode�, which will allow users to complete tasks and actions while holding the device with one hand. It won't be compulsory, but given that some users will no doubt struggle with basic tasks over a 4.7 or 5.5 inch screen, it is good to see that Apple has taken the time to refine some of the functionality.
So with both the iWatch and the iPhone 6 only days away from their official announcement we really are beginning to get excited. Apple has also confirmed the live stream, which will be available via Safari on OS X and iOS as well as Apple TV, so no matter where you are on the 9th of September, you will be able to see what is happening and of course we will have all the updates as well.
