iPhone

Apple has today announced that it has clocked in a record number of pre-orders for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in its first 24-hours of availability. The number of next-generation iPhone units sold as part of the initial pre-order issue has surpassed 4 million, putting the release on track to be the biggest launch in the Cupertino company's 38-year history. The decision to move to two larger-screen models appears, on the face of things, to be a stroke of genius by Apple as consumers from ten territories ensure initial stock was depleted.

With all the chaos of Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus going on sale a couple of days ago still very much ringing in our ears, and now we're today hearing that some of those lucky enough to have managed to place a pre-order are now seeing their new smartphones ship ahead of the official September 19th release date.

It’s almost certain beyond doubt that any iPhone launch will see a massive success for the device, but could things go even better? With the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, it seems they have.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been finally unveiled, and it's pretty close to all the hype that built up around the device prior to its announcement thanks to a number of leaks that only increased as we approached the highly-anticipated date of September 9th. This was also the first time that an Apple device has leaked this extensively prior to its actual announcement. That also put a question mark on the actual unveiling itself; we weren't sure if the Cupertino company will reveal both the normal iPhone 6 and the phablet version of the device, or just one, since earlier reports suggested that there were some problems with the production line. Turned out, the Cupertino tech giant revealed both, and now users have a duo to choose from.
