Apple on Tuesday introduced its newest iPhones and its first wearable, the Apple Watch. The new devices have gotten all of the buzz, but many analysts say Apple Pay, the company’s new mobile-payments service, could be the real game changer.
They also largely applauded the new devices and said they could drive Apple’s biggest year ever.
The Cupertino, Calif., company on Tuesday introduced the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, its new, bigger screen smartphones. The iPhone 6 sports a 4.7-inch display, up from the 4-inch screen in the iPhone 5S. The 6 Plus includes a 5.5-inch display, putting it firmly in the category of phablet, or phone-tablet hybrid.
The company also made its first jump into the hot smartwatch market by showing off three designs for its first wearable — the stainless-steel-cased Apple Watch, the aluminum-cased Apple Watch Sport, and the 18-karat-gold-cased Apple Watch Edition. The smartwatches go on sale early next year at a starting price of $349. The devices must be paired with an iPhone, and are compatible with the iPhone 5, 5C, 5S, 6, and 6 Plus.
After years of speculation, the company also said it was finally including the short-range wireless technology known as near-field communications or NFC into its Apple Watch and iPhone 6 and 6 Plus smartphones. It also announced a new digital wallet called Apple Pay, which can be accessed securely using its fingerprint Touch ID technology. The service allows users to store their credit card accounts on their Apple devices and pay for items by tapping the phone or watch to a sales terminal.
