It is September again and this time it’s San Francisco which witnessed the history once again. With a packed crowd the hall literally floated in air when iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were shown for the very first time to the attendees. Tuesday worked well for Apple as the number of attendees nearly doubled in the Flint Center for the Performing Arts, Cupertino where Steve Jobs rocked 30 years back when he gave the world Macintosh. News was roaring high as to when Apple will launch the phones in San Francisco. A new range of iPads, iPhone 6, iWatch, iPods or MP3 players were speculated among the options. As usual Apple worked a great deal in innovating something new and completely out of the box which has been the biggest strength of Apple in changing trends.
Best iPhone ever:
“Today, we are pleased to announce the biggest advancement in iPhone.” this is what Tim Cook, CEO of Apple stated in the beginning. Tim cook, hosted the event in style and was hugely applauded by the attendees. iPhone 6 has a sleek, continuous seamless design with a beautiful body. As speculated, two versions of iPhone have been launched namely “iPhone 6” and “iPhone 6 Plus” which have been marked as the best iPhone ever made by Apple. The glass covers the sides to meet the anodized aluminum enclosure. It seemed that iPhone 6 slimmed down for this event specifically as it seemed very thin, probably the thinnest till now.
The displays have full sRGB wide color gamut and the glass seems to be an ion-strengthened thing of beauty. To provide a wide view of things, Apple has equipped it with photo aligned IPS display. It is finally confirmed that iPhone 6 has a 4.7 inch display while iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5 inch display. A resolution of 1334 by 750 is what new iPhone 6 Plus offers with a 1080p HD resolution. It supports a whooping 401 pixels per inch display. Meanwhile, iPhone 6 offers the same resolution with a 326ppi and 720p HD display.
iPhone 6 is 6.9mm thick while iPhone 6 Plus is 7.1mm thick. The new landscape view for both the phones look out of the world where built in apps like messenger will look adorable and a better functionality will be availed. For the app lovers, Apple has put up nearly 1.3 million apps online.
Processing and Gaming:
To power these beauties, A8 chipsets has been embedded into them which have up to 25% better processing power and 50% faster graphics. The graph shows that performance factor will be nearly 50 times better than the old iPhones! Wow, Apple has certainly killed the bugs well.
Saving energy is what Apple has focused upon which can be relied from the fact that the new versions will be more than 50% energy efficient. Top game developers have confirmed that they will be delivering iPhone 6 games by the year end (Metal Titles).
Once again just put your foot behind and think that “The iPhone 6 will perform and play better games than the next generation consoles”, Think about that for a second!
iPhone 6 and Metal will certainly add a new chapter in the history of gaming.
Apple has well equipped the new versions with M8 coprocessor which will measure data from compass, gyroscope, and accelerometer continuously. For fitness enthusiasts, barometer will be the thing as it can now tell if a person is going up the hills, mountains and everything in between.

As always, Apple has hit hard on camera. With an 8MP iSight camera, 1.5u pixels, f/2.2 aperture; Apple has proved that there can be nothing better than this. Apple has gone the DSLR way by introducing the all new Focus Pixels which helps in focusing better in iPhone 6. Nobody should be lost in the crowd, so Apple has made it clear to detect faces that are far as well as near. Even if your hands are shaking, ISP will be your companion. Low light won’t be a problem now as optical image stabilization works wonders in low light. The burst mode detects smiles and blinks which ultimately detects the best picture.
The new camera can capture videos a 120fps or 240fps and it has a high level of stabilization equipped within itself. Focus will change automatically even without getting caught on the screen. iPhone 6 has laid hard emphasis on “selfies” as new sensor focuses more light than ever before. It can click up to 10 pictures per second and an HDR photo when the moment is perfect.
Message tagging services:
Now, one can add voice video and location in a single message. So, go ahead and tag everything in there.

An intelligent keyboard, Health app, notification extension from favorite apps, Touch ID which helps to securely access data in other apps are some of the very few things which the all awaited iOS 8 has come up with.
