Now that Apple has finally lifted the lid on what was possibly the worst kept secret in smartphone history, we can start looking into the things that actually matter to potential purchasers of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Apple's iPhone launch days are always busy, and if you've ever previously queued for the latest device on the very first morning, you'll know that it can be a long, tedious wait. Sure, the system whereby staff hand out paper cards, detailing the exact configuration of the iPhone you require is efficient, since it means you're not wasting time if the specific handset you want has sold out, but given the technology at Apple's disposal, the process does seem rather antiquated. This is why, on iPhone 6 launch day, Apple will be rolling out an entirely new, digital queuing system, a revamp of the old model that is more precise and flexible for customers.
Whew! It's been a bit of a roller-coaster ride today by all accounts, and as we finally catch our breath as the world reacts to the major announcements made by Apple earlier on this morning, we take a quick check back at everything that was discussed. If you missed out on the coverage due to work or other commitments, come join us after the break for a recap!
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.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are finally here. After months of rather tedious speculation and rumor-hunting, we now have official specs, features, renders, and now, a release date. In spite of the fact that numerous reliant sources touted the delay of the larger iPhone 6 Plus in the run-up to today's shenanigans, both will be available from September 19th, and as we've just heard, both models will be available to pre-order from this Friday, September 12.
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.
Apple's iPhone 6 is now not far from announcement, and a new set of benchmarks have apparently detailed the interior hardware of the 4.7-inch model. The Geekbench benchmark may well have been faked, but given that the readings do tie in with multiple reports, we're inclined to believe that they are, in fact, the real deal. Check out the key details after the fold!
The Cupertino company’s media event is undoubtedly the most anticipated Apple event for quite some time and is all set to kick off at 10am Pacific Time today, Tuesday, September 9th. Carrying on with Apple’s recent tradition of boasting about the fact that its products are “Designed by Apple in California”, the media event will be held in Cupertino, California at the Flint Center. Incase you didn’t know, the Flint Center has a historical significance for the fruit company as the location for the launch of the original Mac by Steve Jobs 30 years ago.
The iPhone 6 event at the Flint Center in Cupertino is now just hours away, and here, we take a look at what might appear, what will appear, and what we almost certainly should not expect from the keynote. Billed as one of the biggest announcements in Apple's history, there's much to look forward to, and here, we gather up the evidence in an attempt to paint a picture of what's in store.
For the past couple of weeks it has been well documented that both the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch 'iPhone 6 Plus' will be announced at the same event on September 9th. But while it has long since been expected that the smaller device would hit the retail market later on in September, the larger iPhone, we were told, was subject to delay and wouldn't arrive until October. Now, though, a new report has waded in on the eve of the big keynote to suggest that both next-gen iPhones will be released at the same time, with early adopters able to get their hands on either from September 19th.
