It looks like the iPhone 6 Plus has been a huge hit in the U.S., where the device has single-handedly captured an impressive 41% of the phablet sales, according to three months of data ending on October 2014.
Sales data for three months ending on October 2014 has been released, something analysts have awaited for a while after the release of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices in September. It looks like Apple’s sales have risen dramatically across major offshore markets, with the iPhone 6 being the chief reason.
As we approach the festive shopping season, potentially one of Apple’s most lucrative sales periods in recent times, the Cupertino giant has released another TV ad focusing on the recently released iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The video has been given the title “Voice Text” and follows hot on the heels of the fifth and sixth commercials featuring the voice and endorsements of celebrity A-listers Justin Timberlake and The Tonight Show host, Jimmy Fallon.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are packed with an array of different sensors; some of which we take for granted cause hey, you paid over $600 for this beauty. But given the range of sensors they carry, both the devices offer possibilities to developers that maybe, just maybe Apple didn't realize either. Ivo Leko has just posted a video on YouTube which capitalizes on the iPhone's magnetometer, accelerometer and microphone to demonstrate how programs can be written to track a magnet’s position straight from your iPhone.
Apple's TV ads for its devices, particularly the iPhone, have always been of keen interest to not only the fans of the Cupertino tech firm, but even its rivals, since they showcase the marketing approach that the company is taking towards ensuring that its products remain a success.

Both these ads highlight specific features of iOS 8, and are targeted for iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.
We already knew that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus packed quite the computational punch, but new testing by the developers of Mac app WALTR has found that both devices are actually capable of playing 4K video.
When Touch ID, Apple's fingerprint sensor, first emerged on the scene with last year's launch of the iPhone 5s, it was dispelled by many as a gimmick. It quickly emerged that it was anything but - rather a very refined measure that enhanced security and promoted seamlessness. With iOS 8, Apple has further expanded Touch ID's reach, adding third-party support allowing banking, password management and other such apps to reap the fruits of the implementation. It's still not without its fair share of limitations, though, and among them, the fact that it doesn't immediately allow a user to log in right after a reboot. It has now emerged that this isn't an arbitrary decision imparted by Apple, but actually, is due to the secure infrastructure upon which Touch ID is based.
Let's face it, we've all come across those awkward conversation-crunching typos on our smartphones in the attempt of typing really fast. Then there is the Guinness World Record of 17.00 seconds of typing a finger twisting message on a touch-screen smartphone. Brazilian teenager Marcel Fernandes Filho has just used the Fleksy keyboard on an iPhone 6 Plus to set the record.
Popular slow motion app TruSloMo has been updated to support super slow motion at 240fps as well as the new iPhone 6 / 6 Plus while also having its in-app purchase put on sale.
