Today, the tech headlines have been dominated by Apple's major new launches, and as expected, the whole world is talking not only about the new iPhones, but also the Apple Watch. To supplement the announcement, the Cupertino giant has added a grand total of nine new videos to its YouTube page outlining the new products, and here, we take a closer look.
Apple has never been one to dive head-first into a new mobile craze, preferring to hold back, refine the process or feature, and join the party fashionably late. Samsung may be on its fourth top-end phablet already thanks to the dual-release of the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge at last week's IFA, but three years after Berlin played host to the original Galaxy Note, Apple today gave those who craved iOS over a larger canvas something to savor. In the run-up to today's events, it was suggested that Apple's device would include a 'one-handed mode' for comfortable use of a potentially unwieldy device, and with the announcement, we got a taster of "Reachability." Now, we have a video demo to gawk at.
Apple has just announced two new iPhones in the form of the iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6, but while many had reported that the iPhone 5c would be instantly removed from the line-up, the Cupertino company has opted to keep last year's releases retailing 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.
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.
