APPLE TO UNVEIL NEW WEARABLE ALONGSIDE IPHONES IN SEPTEMBER, REPORTS SUGGEST

Keeping with its tradition of revealing new hardware developments in the fall, Apple may unveil a new wearable device when it debuts the iPhone 6 on Sept. 9, Recode reports.

The new device may be the rumored iWatch, which reportedly will focus on health and fitness, monitoring everything from miles walked to hydration and glucose levels. It will also utilize iOS 8, which includes Healthbook.

This feature monitors a user's vitals and sets medication reminders.

Earlier this year, sources said that Apple has developed technology allowing it to group all of the needed sensors into a single chip, drastically reducing the bulk a device like this would otherwise require. However, Apple seems to be moving in the opposite direction when it comes to the size of the new iPhones, as earlier reports point to the company releasing a 4.7 and 5.5 in. size for the mobile device's next generation.

It was unclear if Apple would hold off on announcing the rumored iWatch until after the iPhone 6 debut, but the new report suggests the two may take the stage simultaneously, or at least, very close together.
