Apple's much anticipated September 9 event is only four days away now, and one analyst believes that the show is for more than just the iPhone 6. The iWatch has a good chance of being revealed as well.

Now that the event is getting closer, tech geeks aren't the only people who have jumped into overdrive trying to find out what Apple is planning. Financial analysts have just as much stake in finding out what's going on behind the curtain, as a smart investment now could pay out big if the Apple event goes well. The event might even turn out to be bigger than expected. According to an analysis by KGI's Ming-Chi Kuo, the iWatch could very well be announced Tuesday with a 8 GB of storage and 512 MB of Ram, 9to5Mac reported.
According to Kuo, the iWatch is likely to be made in two sizes, much like the upcoming iPhone 6. A 1.3-inch screen version and a 1.5-inch screen version will give consumers a bit of variety in how they want to enter the wearables market on the Apple front. Kuo also said that the iWatch will be the same rectangular shape that many current wearables are taking except for a few specialty devices like the LG G Watch R.

In the report, Kuo mentioned that, even though the iWatch will probably not hit stores until next year, the wearable will make an appearance at Tuesday's event to start the hype train early. That way, Kuo said, software developers will also have plenty of time to develop apps for the device and have them ready to go when the iWatch is released, trying to avoid that awkward period between when a new device comes out and when third-party support for it starts to trickle in.
In any case, all will be revealed in just four short days.
