Apple's recently released iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus may be breaking sales records and keeping customers happy aesthetically, but what about the actual, real-world performance of the devices?

The iPhone 6 and the jumbo-sized iPhone 6 Plus have clearly captured the imagination of new and existing iOS users around the world with Apple recording more than four million pre-orders taken in the first 24-hours of availability and 10 million units sold in 3 days alone. Add that together with the fact that the majority of models are sold out in most locations and you have yet another successful product launch for the Cupertino company. You would imagine that the initial excitement would focus on the new functionality of the hardware, or the new features of iOS 8, but it appears you would imagine wrong. Thanks to the RatedRR YouTube channel, the interest seems to lie in attempting to torture and destroy the hardware through various acts, such as this latest destruction video recorded at a staggering 35,000 frames-per-second.

We're just a day and a few hours into the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus lifecycle life, but already there's one question that is on everyone's lips: just which of Apple's two new phones is proving the most popular amongst buyers?

Investing an an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus will be an expensive gig, whether you decide to pay for the handset fully up front, or split the cost over a contract with one of the many carriers that offer them. With the price of a 128GB iPhone 6 Plus running up a bill of almost $1,000 unlocked, it's reasonable to suggest that a sizeable portion of iPhone 6 buyers will want to keep their device beyond the one-year shelf life, which also coincides with the duration of the manufacturer warranty. After that year is up, there's a good chance that you might have to pay for repairs, and now, Apple has divulged the price list for out-of-warranty iPhone 6 and 6 Plus repairs.
