So after all of the rumors reported here and everywhere in the tech world, the rumors became reality. Today they announced an iPhone 6 with a 4.7-inch screen, an iPhone 6 Plus with a 5.5-inch screen and the Apple Watch.
Both iPhones will have a new, Retina HD screen with “Ultra HD” resolution. There is a new horizontal view that looks like my iPad Air and iPad Mini. It allows one- handed operation on both models. Both phones are also slim like the newer iPad touch, just 6.9 millimeters. There is also a new A8 processor that Apple says is 50% faster for graphics and makes the phone better on battery usage. There are many more tweaks and improvements too numerous to mention here except one that comes with the New iOS 8 Upgrade available September 17th:
Apple Pay: Allows you to purchase anything a retail location just by touching the sensor at the register with your iPhone. Similar to other mobile payment devices, the seller never touches or looks at your credit card details. Tim Cook said he wants to eliminate the conventional wallet! American Express, Visa and MasterCard are on board along with six major banking institutions. Some 220,000 merchants including Macy’s McDonald’s and Whole Foods will accept it. Even Uber, Panera Bread and Groupon will include it in their Apps. Can my favorite, Pinkberry, be far behind?
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will launch be available in 10-days on September 19, 2014. The Price? $199 for the 16gb version, $299, for the 64gb and there is even a 128gb version for $399. All based on 2-year contract pricing.
Now on to the Apple Watch. It won’t be available to purchase until early next year. However, it may be worth the wait. The Apple Watch sports a sapphire display and Apple Pay just to name two of its, many features. It looks like a tiny square iPhone with a "Digital Crown," on the side to navigate. The price $349.
Some Android phone users are already saying that many of the features that Apple announced today they already have but in my opinion, no other operating system or company can boast the superior eco system, fit, finish and intuitive simplicity that is the hallmark of Apple. And no, I am not an investor and wasn’t paid to say this. I just admire their design, dependability, reliability and their technical support.
