Apple Plans to Announce Two iPhones – Rumors
The rumor mill of iPhone 6 doesn’t seem to be ending until Apple announces it officially. This time, we’ll discuss another story that’s being popped up across the different tech blogs. It says, Apple will be launching two iPhones; one with 4.7-inch while other with 5.5-inch screen size.

However, there’s no specific word on their names but the story looks to be true as we have seen Apple announcing iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C last year. But this time, there won’t be any difference between the handsets except the screen size. Going for the mid-range device like it did with iPhone 5C isn’t going to work for the company.
If you think both of the flagship smartphones will be announced in September, then you may be wrong. According to the inside sources, Apple has a plan for separate announcements; the 4.7-inch iPhone for September and the 5.5-inch version for later months. It could be a gimmick of marketing strategies to stay in the game.

Despite the announcement of all-new iOS 8, Apple’s iOS 7 adoption rate is evolving with the moving time and hits 90% of all the active devices. The previous figure was 87% measured in April. The new data carried out by the users visiting Apple App Store under the seven-day period time ending on July 13.
The rise in iOS 7 adoption rate happened due to the drop in iOS 6 which reduced from 11% to 9%. While the earlier versions of iOS hold the same numbers as found in April. Anyhow, there’s no surprise on seeing Apple’s latest iteration gaining high numbers. Apple’s fans have always been very quick in updating to the latest versions.
Now, it would be interesting to see how Apple fans react to iOS 8; will it be able to break iOS 7 adoption rate figure or not? For many, it wouldn’t be difficult for iOS 8 to get such figure due to the improved features and new enhancements mentioned below.
For the first time, Apple is going to have a specific Health app in iOS 8. With this app, users will be able to track their fitness. They can track their heart rate, steps, sleep, sugar level, blood pressure, glucose and much more.

The new smartwatch is likely to hold a 2.5-inch screen with wireless charging ability. Design wise, we can’t say anything for sure as different stories being discussed around the corner.

What Rumor Mill Says Regarding iWatch?
According to the different reports and rumors, Apple will be releasing its next-generation iPhone 6 along with its much-awaited iWatch later this year. It was being supposed that Apple will surely hint about its upcoming lineup for 2014 at its annual WWDC event but unfortunately, there was nothing except the announcement of the new operating systems, the iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite.
One thing that puts weight to the story saying Apple is prepping for iWatch launch is Apple’s focus for health issues. We have seen it introducing HealthKit at the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 2. With this app users will be able to track their sugar level, heart rate, steps, sleep and all that’s needed for being well.
Obviously, Apple will need a device for this purpose. So, Apple iWatch is supposed to be the one which will be doing that job. Anyways, we can’t say anything for sure especially when we are talking about Apple. We’ll let you know if there comes anything official from the company. So stay tuned!
Apple iWatch Is Reportedly Coming Later This Year
We were pretty sure that Apple will talk about its upcoming plans for 2014 at its annual Worldwide Developers Conferences on June 2. Unfortunately, Apple didn’t even hint about any of its upcoming devices. It only announced its new operating systems for both desktop and mobile platforms, OS X Yosemite and iOS 8 respectively. Both of them are scheduled for the final release later this year.
Anyhow, it’s most likely that Apple will be releasing its next-generation iPhone along with its long-awaited iWatch in the month of September or October. We’ve seen Apple announcing HealthKit at its WWDC event that’ll allow users to keep an eagle on their health status.
Obviously, the HealthKit won’t work itself to track blood pressure, sugar level, heart rate and more. For this Apple will have to rely a device that does all this. Apple iWatch is the first thought comes to our minds. According to many reports and rumors, Apple will introduce iPhone 6 together with its much-awaited iWatch in the fall of this year.
We have seen its competitors like Samsung, Sony, LG, and Motorola launching their wearable devices. Now, it’s an Apple turn to step in wearable technology. Sources close to the news suggest that Apple’s new iWatch will combine 10 sensors to track health & fitness.
