Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have, as is typically the case with new iPhones, arrived to a great deal of fanfare. As well as the critical acclaim and record sales, social media was consumed by 'Bendgate', the idea that the new devices - particularly the iPhone 6 Plus - are prone to bending. Apple stepped out to dispel such a notion, adding that it only uses the highest standard of materials as well as running through extreme quality control measures to ensure the robustness of its handsets. Be that as it may, a new teardown has revealed that the material cost of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus remains decidedly low, despite the considerable increase in price at the consumer end, and with 10 million units sold and counting, the profit margin on these newer smartphones is considerably higher.

Given that iOS 8 is arguably one of the most significant leaps since the very first iPhone appeared back in 2007, though, there always seems to be something to learn, and if you wish to fast-track your acclimatization with the update, then a new video covering 50 awesome features will definitely stand you in good stead.

Apple's initial iPhone 6 retail push got off to a flying start last week, with sales in excess of 10 million in the opening weekend breaking the record for a new smartphone. Having only launched in a handful of markets, though, the device is still yet to reach a number of key countries, and this week on Friday, 26th September, a further 20 nations will be added.
