The iPhone 6 is out of the bag, and it looks fantastic and packs a punch in terms of specs. The sixth-generation iPhone has a wonderfully sleek and thoughtful design, with a glass front and curves around the side that blend in seamlessly with the aluminum back.
The phone's screen is significantly larger than that of previous iPhones. While previous iPhones feature a 3.5-inch screen, the iPhone 6 eschews that in favor of a much bigger 4.7-inch screen that puts it on par with many Android phones. The larger display boasts over a billion pixels. The Retina Display HD is crisp and unerringly accurate.
The phone features an 8-megapixel iSight camera with a new sensor and special 'focus pixels'. The cameras are capable of auto-focusing twice as fast as the iPhone 5, so your selfies needn't be as blurry.
As far as battery life is concerned, the iPhone 6 will offer 50 hours of audio, 11 hours of video, 11 hours of WiFi browsing and 10 hours of LTE data browsing on a full charge. This next-generation smartphone also boasts the ability to switch voice calls to WiFi when cellular coverage is poor.
All in all, it looks like Apple's newest baby is a win from both the design and tech spec points-of-view.
