It’s no secret that the iPhone 6 will be coming out later this year. In fact, it’s a given. The only question requiring answers is when exactly will it be revealed, and when will it be launched? WWDC is starting today, and the conference will last all week, up until the 6th of June. Apple is likely to make several major announcements, mostly linked to the iPhone 6, but is also likely to shed some light on the iWatch. Remember that smartwatch Samsung launched in parallel with the Samsung Galaxy S5? Well, the iWatch promises to be a similar pairing, and will most likely come bundled up with the iPhone 6.
So far, rumors have revealed that the iPhone 6’s basic, standard model will be launched on the 19th of September. It’s not a confirmed date, but it’s a very reasonable estimation and will most likely remain unchanged officially. We’re talking of course about the 4.7 inch version of the phone. The larger version, rumored to be 5.5 inches in size, will most likely be released a bit later, in November 2014. The iPhone 6’s basic version will cost around $650, and with an iWatch paired (yes, it’s reasonable to assume that the two upcoming Apple products will market each other), we’re likely to see a bundle price of over $1,000. If you’re curious about what the iWatch will look like, you can take a look at the video below:
Of course, we’ll know a lot more in the coming days, as WWDC 2014 takes off. One of the most interesting aspects about the event is that we’ll likely be learning more about something the iWatch and the iPhone 6 will have in common – iOS 8. We know Apple has been cooking up a new OS version, and while it’s not ready yet, it will be soon enough. With new products from the company coming out this year, we’ll be hearing and seeing a lot more about the iOS 8. Another thing that Apple will also provide this year (somewhat imitating Samsung) is the Healthbook platform. This, in other words, is the Health monitoring app and system Apple has developed, a system that proved to be extremely popular among tech enthusiasts, and something Samsung is currently advertising the living hell out of. It’s the main defining feature of the Samsung Galaxy S5, and Apple knows the potential behind the technology.
Last but not least, we can expect to see the iCar and iHome technologies surface at WWDC. The former focuses on digital systems incorporated into car dashboards, while the later might just be the ultimate device to turn your home into a connected, technologically advanced environment, where anything can be controlled easily with the touch of your finger.
