Apple's mammoth launch today of the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch may be done with, but with so much having been announced in a short space of time, only now do we get the chance to take a step back and digest the new features. Amid the fallout from today's proceedings at the Flint Center, Apple has rolled out iTunes 11.4 for those on OS X Mavericks, which, as you might imagine, includes support for the all-new iOS 8.

As mentioned by Tim Cook towards the close of today's big keynote event, U2's close relationship with Apple goes way back. From the Irish quartet being featured on the iconic Vertigo ad to the release of the limited edition black and red U2 iPods, Bono and his band have been an almost permanent fixture of Apple's romance with the music industry, and having performed as a special guest at the end of the Flint Center's iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch announcement, U2's new album is available to download for free on Apple's iTunes Music Store.
There was much speculation as to what Apple's two-pronged assault on the smartphone market would mean for last year's iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s, but while the long-term futures of these two handsets is uncertain, the Cupertino company seems happy to retail both alongside the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus for the time being. Naturally, each has been dropped in price, and as well as being able to grab the iPhone 5s on contract for just $99 now, folks can also avail the iPhone 5c free of charge on a two-year package.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are finally here. After months of rather tedious speculation and rumor-hunting, we now have official specs, features, renders, and now, a release date. In spite of the fact that numerous reliant sources touted the delay of the larger iPhone 6 Plus in the run-up to today's shenanigans, both will be available from September 19th, and as we've just heard, both models will be available to pre-order from this Friday, September 12.
The GM release links of Apple's iOS 8 is now ready to download, and although, strictly speaking, this is not the final release, it's identical to the build that end users will be receiving in about a week's time. As ever, we've got the details and download info right here.
Along with the small matter of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6, Apple has, as expected, also taken the wraps off the 5.5-inch version, which it has opted to call the ‘iPhone 6 Plus.’ We know you’re eager to learn of the device’s specs, features, price and release date, and all of the just-announced info can be seen below.
Apple's iPhone 6 is now not far from announcement, and a new set of benchmarks have apparently detailed the interior hardware of the 4.7-inch model. The Geekbench benchmark may well have been faked, but given that the readings do tie in with multiple reports, we're inclined to believe that they are, in fact, the real deal. Check out the key details after the fold!
Google is constantly updating its mobile software, and while most of the alterations and new features are clearly outlined in the change log, other neat little quirks slip through the net. One particular recent addition to the fold arrives in the form of Display Owner Info which, as the name implies, allows you to display your name and contact details on the lock screen. This is particularly useful if you happen to misplace your device, and given that it only takes ten seconds to set up, is the kind of feature that everybody should be activating.
Even though Google's Android is a fierce rival to Apple's iOS, the search giant recognizes the value of its iPhone, iPad and iPod touch-owning user base, and as such, most of its broad range of apps and services can be found over at the iTunes Store. Today, the Play Movies & TV app has been given quite a significant update, adding a handy offline mode allowing users to download videos and play them even when a connection is not present.
We may be completely swamped what with Apple's big iPhone 6 launch event close by, but nevertheless, there's always time to check out some of the latest deals gracing the company's App Store. Once again, we've got a nice selection of paid apps gone free for a limited time, and even if you feel like your device is a bit of a relic given all of the new devices on the way, these freebies should bring a smile to your face.
