If you have been watching the livestream you will have noticed that Apple launches new iPhone 6 and larger iPhone 6 Plus handsets, and is expected to launch an iWatch device. New in the iPhone 6 is a gaming GPU allowing console like games. Apple just announced the Apple Watch (not iWatch). It will work seemless with the iPhone.



The new generation devices use an improved Retina screen which has Ion-strengthened glass and improved polariser, liquid crystal display and ultrathin backlight. The resolution is 1334x750(326ppi) for the iPhone 6, 1920x1080 (401ppi) for the iPhone 6 Plus.

The new iPhone is based on a 64-bit IC with 2 billion transistors (double the number in the iPhone 5s) and is up to 25 per cent faster CPU, up to 50 percent faster graphics performance. The device has increased battery life as well.

Included into the device is an M8 motion chip with built-in barometer These can be used in a new Health app to measure for example how many stairs you climb each day. Obviously this would be integrated into the Nike fitness app as well. The iPhone 6 will get an 8 Megapixel iSight camera with 'focus pixels' which can tell whether or not your picture is in focus.

Prices have just been announced. iPhone 6 comes in gold, silver and space grey and starts at $199, iPhone 6 Plus starts at $299 on a 2-year contract:

We will update this post once more details come in.


It's as much about technology as it is about style and taste, says Cook. Apple thought not just about function but the way it looks. Apple Watch will be available in two sizes and three distinct collections. You will see a selection of watch interfaces and straps including very classy (read expensive) metal straps
