hi I'm Stephen Cina editor-at-large have just walked out of the apple event where we saw a lot of new products Apple definitely delivered on a lot of promises that they've been making for the past year or so biggest of the new unveilings would be the new apple iphone 6 and the six plus two different sizes for the first time of a new device 4.7 inch a 5.5 inch they're definitely targeting the more professional user and the phablet user we've seen a lot of the Android devices getting bigger and bigger an apples following suit finally which is great also thinner devices with more battery life will make them very popular I think people have been waiting to upgrade their phones I think we'll see a lot of people making upgrades the question will be whether they go for the six or the six plus six plus is going to be hundred dollars more but a bigger display and much more battery life too so I definitely think we'll see people going for that choice over the six we'll see about inventory and how much Apple can provide in stores when they release on sep tember 19th of course it was also the Apple watch we were expecting it to be called I watched it's called Apple watch instead but it still looks like a great device that was the product that we didn't really see a lot leaked about before the event and what we did see today looked very good in terms of functionality it's not all that much different than what we've seen before from other smart watch manufacturers but the interface is very clean very polished we've also got some nice tactile controls in the side as well there's a crown that you can use to scroll through menus and use as a home button as well which makes it a lot easier to use then try and use a tiny little touch screen where your fingers blocking everything that you're trying to do unfortunately the apple watch will not be releasing until sometime early next year and it is going to be on the more expensive side starting at three hundred and forty nine dollars and then going way up from there Apple actually showed an 18 carat gold version that we presume is going to be quite a bit more expensive the interim model but they've got partnerships with Nike with Fitbit and with other companies as well that'll make it a very popular choice we think when it releases early next year the other big announcement was Apple pay which is basically their solution for getting rid of your credit cards sometime in the future the new iPhones and the apple watch will also have and if see in it wireless communications are will allow you to make secure payments through your devices and basically you load your credit card into your phone at that point you can use your credit card just by tapping it at a point of sale terminal at a retailer now obviously not all retailers support this right now Apple did go through a long list like Whole Foods and Bloomingdale's and things like that but we've got a long I'm before every retailer everywhere support
