Report: iWatch Expected at Sept. 9 iPhone Event

Apple is rumored to be hosting a Sept. 9 press event to show off its new iPhones, but a new report says that the iWatch will also makes it debut next month.

According to Re/code, Apple will 'unveil a new wearable' at the Sept. 9 event alongside two new iPhones, which many believe will sport 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays.

Re/code did not specify that the device is indeed the iWatch, but said that the wearable will tap into Apple HealthKit and HomeKit, the e-health and connected home offerings Apple showed off at WWDC.

Re/code was also the one to report the Sept. 9 date. The staff, which was previously at All Things D, has a good track record when it comes to rumors about Apple events, so it's likely that a wearable is indeed on the agenda.

Of course, invites have yet to go out. They typically arrive about a week ahead of event, though, so be on the lookout next week.

Rumors about the iWatch, meanwhile, have been making the rounds for about two years. Last year, Apple CEO Tim Cook said at the D11 conference that wearables were 'incredibly interesting,' but didn't divulge Apple's plans, of course.

But the company has been snapping up executives with backgrounds in fashion, fitness gadgets, and watches - from Tag Heuer senior executive Patrick Pruniaux and Nike Fuel Band design director Ben Shaffer to retail chief Angela Ahrendts, who was previously at Burberry.
