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.

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.
Having already considered the sentiments of a professional photographer on the iPhone 6's point-and-shoot performance, we already know that the camera on Apple's latest export delivers a significant improvement over the preceding iPhone 5s. But aside from taking great stills, the video camera has also been improved, and below, you'll be treated to a glimpse of the enhanced Slow-Mo feature on offer to those picking up either of the new handsets. The video shows wine being poured from a bottle, which, in itself, doesn't sound particularly compelling, the quality is quite unbelievable, and if you're a big fan of camera functionality, then you'll surely be considering the purchase of an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.
Although the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are fairly similar for the most part, there are a number of subtle differences. The display size discrepancy is the most obvious, but it's hard to base a purchasing decision on this factor alone given the number of perks iPhone 6 Plus owners will be able to laud over their iPhone 6-wielding buddies. The rear-facing cameras of each boast 8-megapixel sensors, but critically, the 6 Plus offers optical image stabilization, or OIS, and with both handsets having just gone on sale, we can now get our first proper look at the point-and-shoot experiences of each.
The build up to any new iPhone announcement is always filled with rumors and supposedly leaked parts, and this year has been no different. Now that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are starting to work their way into the hands of us ordinary mortals, those leaked parts inevitably come into question. Just how accurate were they?
With the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus now beginning to go on sale around the world, eager buyers are lining up in order to try and make sure they're amongst the first to walk away with Apple's latest wares. But what do you do when you've lined up for hours in the cold in order to spend a small fortune on a new smartphone?
All the rumors, all the excitement and all the guesswork has led to this point, for today Apple's new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have gone on sale around the globe, with huge lines very much the order of the day.
