Say hello to the new iPhone 6 and its colossal cohort the iPhone 6 Plus. The new iPhones are slimmer than any of their predecessors. The iPhone 6 is 6.9mm thin and the iPhone 6 Plus is 7.1mm. They have thinned out and grown to new heights with the iPhone 6 reaching 4.7 inches and the 6 Plus towering at a gargantuan 5.5 inches yet still fitting comfortably in your hand. There are no cracks or crevices to be found across the new phones. The glass curves around all the way to meet its aluminum sides. Despite the recent complaints about the iPhone 6 Plus bending, you can’t beat its awesome new features.
The new Retina HD display presents a better picture and on the iPhone 6 Plus, there is a gyrus included on the camera that compensates for movement when you take a picture and your hand isn’t steady. The Health app is included on iOS 8. It has tutorials for workouts at home and on the go while tracking your progress. It shows your heart rate, calorie intake, steps taken and other various features. And no more hassle with your pesky credit cards. iPhone 6 and 6 Plus allows you to pay with just a scan of your finger. No need to put in address information when ordering online, the new iPhone already has it programmed in. All you have to do is let it scan your fingerprint. Apple CEO Tom Cook says the “iPhone 6 isn’t simply bigger — it’s better in every way”.
Along with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus release, Apple is releasing their new product called the Watch. Just when you thought Apple products couldn’t get any sweeter, it’s an Apple product you can wear and allows for easy access to contacts, info, and can make calls and answer texts with just a flick of the wrist.
