Apple regularly bolsters the point-and-shoot credentials of its newest handsets, but with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, there appears to have been a special emphasis on improving the rear-facing camera in both a photo-taking and video-capturing capacity. From Focus Pixels to optical image stabilization, both devices appear to squeeze every drop of performance out of their 8-megapixel sensor, and if you're a bit of a videographer, you'll surely be enthused by the new option to shoot 1080p footage at 60fps. If you've heard about the feature but not sure how to get started with it, we've got a little guide right after the break.

The iPhone 6 Plus, the larger of Apple's two new handsets, is the ideal choice for folks who've long since been attracted to devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note but prefer iOS, and among the 10 million iPhones sold over the launch weekend, a sizeable portion would have been made specifically by those picking up the Cupertino's first phablet. But while most of those who went out and made the purchase are reporting positively of their latest acquisition, some have inadvertently managed to bend their device out of shape merely by leaving it in a pocket when performing an activity.

The iPhone 6 launch weekend went down with a real bang, but even though the number of early adopters is already well into the millions, there are still plenty of consumers waiting patiently for the second round of stock. As expected, the spike in demand for the latest models as proved too much for Apple to handle, and while many are currently acquainting themselves with the larger display and radical redesign, many others are closely monitoring certain sites for news on renewed stock. If you are one of those people, there's a pretty awesome site that lets you do exactly that, but given that it also sends you an alert when a specific model on a specific carrier has become available, it's probably the best assistant in your continued quest to track down the iPhone 6 model you require.

Whatever your opinion may be of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, there's little argument that Apple has made some significant changes (read: improvements) over the preceding models, and alongside the 2010 roll-out of the iPhone 4, the two new handsets must be considered the biggest upgrades to iPhone since the original. But as the tech community lauds the enlarged display, NFC, new design, bumped camera technology and iOS 8, among a myriad of other enhancements, one element that long-time users really wanted to see improved was the battery life. The iPhone has long since been bashed for its relatively poor battery retention, but thanks to increased capacity and software enhancements, those days may well be behind us, and now, it has emerged that charging may also be quicker as well.

Investing an an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus will be an expensive gig, whether you decide to pay for the handset fully up front, or split the cost over a contract with one of the many carriers that offer them. With the price of a 128GB iPhone 6 Plus running up a bill of almost $1,000 unlocked, it's reasonable to suggest that a sizeable portion of iPhone 6 buyers will want to keep their device beyond the one-year shelf life, which also coincides with the duration of the manufacturer warranty. After that year is up, there's a good chance that you might have to pay for repairs, and now, Apple has divulged the price list for out-of-warranty iPhone 6 and 6 Plus repairs.
