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.
Having finally unleashed the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus at its special event in Cupertino, Apple also took the wraps off its mobile payment system dubbed Apple Pay. Nope, not iPay or even iMoney, but simply Apple Pay. With the new smartwatch also skipping the "i" prefix, it's clear that Apple is moving away from tradition, and having equipped its latest fleet of smartphones with NFC, the new era is looking to make a concerted push into the world of mobile payments. Below, we take a closer look at this all-new infrastructure, and attempt to asses what it means for mobile users and retailers alike.
The cat’s out of the bag, and Apple has made its new wearable device official, which is being dubbed as: Apple Watch. We have all the details and everything you need to know right after the break.
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!
The Cupertino company’s media event is undoubtedly the most anticipated Apple event for quite some time and is all set to kick off at 10am Pacific Time today, Tuesday, September 9th. Carrying on with Apple’s recent tradition of boasting about the fact that its products are “Designed by Apple in California”, the media event will be held in Cupertino, California at the Flint Center. Incase you didn’t know, the Flint Center has a historical significance for the fruit company as the location for the launch of the original Mac by Steve Jobs 30 years ago.
The iPhone 6 event at the Flint Center in Cupertino is now just hours away, and here, we take a look at what might appear, what will appear, and what we almost certainly should not expect from the keynote. Billed as one of the biggest announcements in Apple's history, there's much to look forward to, and here, we gather up the evidence in an attempt to paint a picture of what's in store.
For the past couple of weeks it has been well documented that both the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch 'iPhone 6 Plus' will be announced at the same event on September 9th. But while it has long since been expected that the smaller device would hit the retail market later on in September, the larger iPhone, we were told, was subject to delay and wouldn't arrive until October. Now, though, a new report has waded in on the eve of the big keynote to suggest that both next-gen iPhones will be released at the same time, with early adopters able to get their hands on either from September 19th.
Last week, numerous celebrities found themselves victims of a widespread hack, and although Apple stepped out with a statement to swiftly deny any wrongdoing, CEO Tim Cook did outline the company's intention to strengthen up security. As a number of users have already discovered, though, some of these improvements are already in place, with email notifications going out to users when a password change is or device restore is attempted, as well as when a login from a new device occurs.
Mobile and contactless payments are already fairly prevalent in certain areas of retail, but there remains a lingering feeling that Apple's NFC endeavors with the iPhone 6 will give the industry the push that it quite clearly needs. With said handset due for announcement tomorrow, Both Apple and Disney appear making preparations for its arrival, and while Apple is adding more fire-power to its in-store iBeacons system, Disney has been seen upgrading its NFC-ready payment systems.
