Both versions will have a <strong>Retina HD Display<\/strong> for better graphics, whereas the new <strong>A8 processor and M8 coprocessor<\/strong> take care\u00a0of \u00a0a <strong>consistently high level of performance<\/strong>. There are also some benefits of<strong> iOS 8<\/strong>: iMassage, Keyboard, a Health-App which is supported by several fitness apps and a new Notification Center.<\/p>\n<h2>iPhone 6 appearance and new innovations<\/h2>\n<p>It seems that the iPhone 6 has a 4.7-inch display screen, 0.7-inches superior to its iPhone 5S predecessor. This increase in screen size matches many of Apple\u2019s main competitor, rectifying a key concern of many Apple users. It has soft, curved edges, and is significantly thinner than past iPhones.<\/p>\n<p>One major flaw in previous iPhone designs has been the ease at which their screens scratch and can smash, at great cost. Now however, Apple has made a move to combat this through the introduction of Sapphire glass screens, which is repellent to scratches and shattering. Other new features are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Voice over LTE<\/li>\n<li>Wi-Fi connection three times faster than before<\/li>\n<li>8MP iSight camera with True Tone flash, 1.5\u00a0\u00b5 pixels, f\/2.2 aperture<\/li>\n<li>cinematic video stabilization<\/li>\n<li>Apple Pay with NFC, Touch ID and Secure Element as a new hardware components<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>iPhone 6 released in conjunction with new \u2018Phablet\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Similarly to the joint release of the iPhone 5S and 5C, the iPhone 6 will have a \u2018partner\u2019 device which will be known as the iPhone 6 \u2018Phablet\u2019. The device is essentially identical to the iPhone 6, except its size. Its 5.5 inch screen cements Apple\u2019s place amongst its Android rivals. This is a clever marketing ploy by Apple, enabling them to market the iPhone 6 at a lower price than the current iPhone 5S on release, making the iPhone 6 \u2018Phablet\u2019 more expensive, aimed at a wealthier target market. This is a step up from creating the iPhone 5C as a \u2018cheap\u2019 alternative to the iPhone 5S.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\" style=\"margin-top:20px;\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jKkxKAdebho\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Negatives<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Battery life, though slightly improved, has not been significantly increased- 1,800-1,900 mAh for the 4.7-inch version and 2,500 mAh for the 5.5-inch Phablet.<\/li>\n<li>Whilst iPhone 6 will be cheaper than the iPhone 5S, there will be no \u2018affordable\u2019 alternative.<\/li>\n<li>Some critics claim that the iPhone 6 looks similar to certain HTC phones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was much speculation in numerous media outlets concerning the new features of Apple&#8217;s latest iPhones, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
