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.
With iOS 8 now well on the way - it's set for release in just five days' time - now's a golden chance to stock up on apps and games ready for the new software. Alongside iOS 8, Apple will also be rolling out two new iPhones, and given the high pricing, here's a welcome opportunity to penny pinch on apps worth a total of $17.
Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 5 well and truly blew every previous video game release out of the water with its record-smashing release in late 2013. Having been pushed back from spring until September, the publisher teased some slick visuals at every opportunity throughout last year, and when it dropped, hordes of gamers went out to pick it up. Shortly after, though, both the PS4 and Xbox One hit the scene, with Rockstar promising that an updated and enhanced version would arrive for the two major consoles as well as PC, and now, we have firm dates for each. Details, as ever, can be seen below.
It was suggested that the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus would be delayed in the run-up to Apple's announcement earlier this week, with sources suggesting that manufacturing issues would push the handset back until October. As we learned at the keynote address, though, this isn't the case, but while we suspected that the larger handset would be in short supply, shipping patterns following yesterday's pre-orders have confirmed this to the the case. Anybody trying to pre-order an iPhone 6 Plus in the US is met with an availability estimate of 3-4 weeks, and so if you haven't yet taken action, you're going to have to queue if you wish to buy the iPhone 6 Plus before October.
We know this now with absolute certainty that Microsoft will indeed bring back the highly-coveted Start Menu in Windows 9 - codenamed Project Threshold - and will answer the hue and cry of a lot of long-time Windows users. There have been some recent leaks as well that pointed in the same direction and even showcased the new feature, but how exactly will it be implemented, for that we have a much better idea now.
The iPhone 6 has been officially announced. The veil has been eventually lifted on the Apple Watch. Pre-orders for the jumbo-sized iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are now live in ten countries across the world - and selling out fast. It's been a busy week for Apple on all things relating to the iPhone and iOS, and it looks like the MacBook and OS X segments are about to get busy too. Remember those rumors pertaining to an ultra-slim 12-inch MacBook that surfaced earlier on this year? Well, they're back, but this time suggesting that the revolutionary MacBook could make an official appearance in mid-2015.
Having been announced earlier on this week at the special keynote address in Cupertino, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are now available to pre-order. Given that demand is surely likely to outweigh supply, you'll need to act quickly if you want to secure yourself a handset, and below, we've got all of the details.
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.
Tuesday's announcement of the "Bigger than bigger" iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones not only lived up to much of the pre-event speculation, but also managed to live up to our expectations, at least for most of us. And though Apple's latest smartphone may not start shipping or landing in brick and mortar retail outlets until next Friday, but lest we forget that pre-orders for the super-sized hardware begin this Friday in 10 territories. Deciding which iPhone 6 to go for is proving to be extremely difficult for a lot, so we're here to lend a helping hand.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are nearing pre-order stage now, but given that neither will go on general sale until Friday, September 19th, the wait for the release is tantalizing. As well as tuning in to the swathes of media coverage and soaking up the information that trickles out on an hourly basis, you can now get up close and personal with both handsets in a virtual sense thanks to a new site dedicated to showcasing the two new models in three dimensions.
