Apple Expected To Reveal iPhone 6 And 'iWatch'
CUPERTINO (KCBS) — Apple is expected to take the wraps off several new consumer products on Tuesday morning—everything from new iPhones to a possible " iWatch."
Apple CEO Tim Cook may be preparing to unveil what the media has called the iWatch—the company's first new product in four years.
Cook told AllThingsD last year that wearable technology, like smartwatches, has great potential.
"I think wearables are incredibly interesting and I think it could be a profound area for technology," he said.

The iWatch is rumored to come in two sizes and have an NFC chip that allows users to swipe at checkout making instant purchases or, as CNET Senior Editor Bridget Carey says, to be used at home.
"What if you could unlock the front door to your home with a watch tap instead of fumbling with your keys when you carrying your groceries, or pay for train tickets instantly when you hop aboard," she said.
