Apple has unveiled two new iPhones, the 4.7-inch iPhone
6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus . Along with larger
screens and a completely new iPad-style design with an
ultra thin body and rounded corners, the two new phones
offer faster processors, better cameras, and Apple's
new Apple Pay payment system.
Apple's new iPhones are available in Gold, Silver, and
Space Gray, and are available in 16, 64, and 128 GB
capacities. The iPhone 6 pricing starts at $199, while
the iPhone 6 Plus pricing starts at $299.
While both models include the same 64-bit A8 chip and
the same general design, there are several differences
between the two phones. The iPhone 6 measures in at
6.9mm , while the iPhone 6 Plus is slightly thicker at
7.1mm . Apple's iPhone 6 Plus also has three major
differentiating factors: optical image stabilization for
the camera, and a longer battery life , and an iPad-
style landscape mode that displays more content on the
screen.

Though the iPhone 6 Plus has optical image stabilization,
both phones got some major camera improvements in
form of sensor upgrades, improved tone mapping,
better noise reduction, and new "Focus Pixel"
technology, which improves the phone's ability to select
autofocus points. For videos, there's a new 240fps slo-
mo option , along with support for shooting in 1080p at
60fps. The front-facing camera was also upgraded, with
an f/2.2 aperture that lets in more light and new burst
mode capabilities.
Both phones have an impressive new " Retina HD
Display ," with the iPhone 6 featuring a resolution of
1334 x 750 (326 ppi) and the iPhone 6 Plus featuring a
resolution of 1920 x 1080 (401 ppi) .
Design wise, the phones more closely resemble the iPad
and the iPod touch than the iPhone 5s. Both models
have soft, rounded corners and a curved glass screen
that melds smoothly into the thin metal body of the
device. The volume buttons on the left side of the
device are now pill-shaped, and the power button is
located on the right side of the device for easier one-
handed use.
To further make its devices easier to use one-handed,
Apple has added in a new double tap home button
gesture called "Reachability ," which moves items from
the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen for
quick access.
Other new features in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
include WiFi calling support, faster 802.11ac WiFi , and
support for Voice over LTE (VoLTE).

<strong>How to buy :</strong>
The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus will launch on
September 19 in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada,
France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, and
Singapore. Apple is taking in-store pre-orders for the
devices as of 8am local time on Friday, September 12 .
<a href="https://custroid.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/wpid-iphone_6_prices1.png"><img title="iphone_6_prices.png" class="alignnone size-full" alt="image" src="https://custroid.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/wpid-iphone_6_prices1.png" /></a>
Online pre-orders kicked off at 12:01am Pacific Time on
the 12th at Apple's online store as well as individual
carrier stores, such as Verizon and AT&T . Pre-orders
suffered heavily from technical difficulties due to
demand, and Apple's own online store didn't come up
until nearly 3 AM PT .
While several iPhone 6 models remain in stock late in the
day on September 12, all models of the iPhone 6 Plus
sold out not long after pre-orders began, with shipping
dates slipping from 7 to 10 days and then to 3 to 4
weeks .
According to an Apple representative, response to the
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus was "incredible," setting a new
record for pre-orders.
Apple's iPhone 6 is available in 16, 64, and 128 GB
capacities, priced at $199, $299, and $399,
respectively, with a two-year contract. The iPhone 6
Plus is available in 16, 64, and 128 GB capacities and
will be priced $100 higher at $299, $399, and $499,
respectively. Both the iPhone 6 and the 6 Plus are
available in Space Gray, Gold, and Silver.
<strong>Hands-on First Impressions</strong> :
Following Apple's introduction of the iPhone 6 and its
wearable device, members of the press were invited to
go hands-on with the new devices , letting us get an
early look at the larger-screened iPhones.
Reviews were largely positive, with several people
pointing towards the display of the device. According to
Jared Nelson from TouchArcade , the Retina Display HD
screens look "absolutely incredible" in person. Engadget
noted that despite the resolution difference between
the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the two displays looked
almost identical.
The Verge said the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 "looks great" and
feels like a "hybrid of the iPhone and iPod touch."
Multiple reviews said that even though the larger iPhone
is big, it's easier to hold than expected because of its
rounded edges.

Testers were also largely impressed with Apple's one-
handed "Reachability" mode, which shrinks anything on
the phone's screen into thumb's reach with a double tap
on the Touch ID home button.
Apple will also be sending out review devices to many
sites, which means we'll be getting some in-depth
opinions of the iPhone 6 in the coming weeks, likely just
ahead of its September 19 release.

Design :
Measuring in at 4.7 and 5.5-inches, the iPhone 6 and
the iPhone 6 Plus dwarf previous iPhone models, but at
the same time, the two phones are Apple's thinnest yet,
measuring in at 6.9 and 7.1mm , respectively. For
comparison's sake, the iPhone 5s was 7.6mm thick.
According to Apple, the thinner profile was made
possible by the company's "thinnest display yet," which
is made of slightly curved glass designed to flow
seamlessly into the body of the device to highlight the
" Retina HD " screen of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

iPhone 6 rumors largely suggested Apple would use a
sapphire display cover in the device, but that turned out
to be false. Instead, the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus
use "ion-strengthened" glass with an improved polarizer
(for better outdoor viewing), a photo aligned IPS liquid
crystal display, and a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic
coating.
The iPhone 6 has a 4.7-inch display with a "2x"
resolution of 1334 x 740 (326 ppi) while the iPhone 6
Plus has a 5.5-inch "3x" resolution of 1920 x 1080 (401
ppi) . Both phones are said to offer higher contrast,
better brightness, and improved white balance.
Apple has implemented several "Reachability " features
to improve the viewing experience on its larger devices,
including Display Zoom and landscape view (iPhone 6 Plus
only). Display Zoom lets users zoom in to get a closer
view at their apps, while standard zoom displays more
content on the screen.
Landscape view on the iPhone 6 Plus is designed to make
the most of the 5.5-inch screen and to help users be
more productive. When in landscape mode, the device will
display apps like Mail, Calendar, and Stocks in a wider
view similar to the way they're displayed on the iPad.

<strong>Operating system :</strong>
The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus will ship with iOS 8 ,
Apple's newest mobile operating system. iOS 8 's main
goal is to improve integration between Apple devices,
both mobile and desktop, through the use of
" Continuity ."
With Continuity, users can seamlessly transition tasks
between iPhones, iPads, Macs, and the Apple Watch. iOS
8 also includes features like interactive notifications,
widgets in the Notification Center, third-party
keyboards, and a new QuickType predictive keyboard.
