Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - iPhone 6 Predicted to Get 128GB of Storage, Programmable Power Button, No Sapphire Cover Lens

A new report from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo offers some details on the iPhone 6 that Apple is expected to unveil next week. Kuo says Apple is planning to unveil both a 4.7-inch model and a 5.5-inch model and both will have a 128GB storage option. This corroborates a recently leaked document which listed storage sizes of 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB.
A new power button on the side of the device will reportedly be programmable, perhaps allowing users to launch a specific app in response to a preassigned action. The smartphone is also expected to have a barometer to measure altitude or forecast weather. The protruding camera will allegedly lose its sapphire coating to make it more resistant to drops.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Analyst: iWatch to Come in Two Different Screen Sizes, Offer 8GB of Storage and 512 MB RAM

KGI’s Ming-Chi Kuo released a report today with his updated expectations on Apple’s rumored wearable product. Kuo see’s Apple releasing an iWatch with two different screen sizes — 1.3-inches and 1.5-inches. Kuo also believes the iWatch will pack 8GB of internal storage with 512 MB of RAM.
While 8GB of internal storage and 512 MB of RAM seem low compared to iOS devices (which have 1GB of ram and 16GB storage), the specs are on the high-end for a smart watch. Some believe the iWatch could act independently from an iOS device, and Kuo’s analysis falls in-line with that speculation.
Kuo is somewhat unsure about the casing for the device, but believes we will see 2-4 different types, with aluminum being the primary element used. He also sees the device will be rectangular in shape and feature ‘holes’ to measure vital signs such as heart rate.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Jonathan Ive on Apple's Upcoming iWatch: 'Switzerland is in Trouble'

Jonathan Ive has reportedly been heard saying that Switzerland is in trouble when excitedly talking about the iWatch. The tidbit was relayed by Nick Bilton for the New York Times.
According to a designer who works at Apple, Jonathan Ive, Apple’s design chief, in bragging about how cool he thought the iWatch was shaping up to be, gleefully said Switzerland is in trouble — though he chose a much bolder term for “trouble” to express how he thought the watchmaking nation might be in a tough predicament when Apple’s watch comes out.
Apple is expected to unveil the wearable device on September 9th; however, analysts are predicting that it won’t ship until 2015.
