iPhone 6 and 6 Plus hands-on

2014-09-09
here we are at Apple's big event with two really big iPhones this is the iPhone 6 and as you probably already know by now it comes in two sizes this is the 4.7 inch device and this is a 5.5 inch device it feels pretty massive but it doesn't feel so massive that it's completely unwieldy it's pretty narrow so compared to really giant Android phones it's not too bad to hold in one hand now if we compare these models to the iPhone 5s you can see here that it is quite a bit bigger the 4.7 is however it is thinner and the buttons are a little bit nicer they've got this iPad style button here nicer ringer switch on the back the camera sticks out a little bit but you still have the true tone flash so there's one more feature that's really worth noting on the new iPhone 6 if you double tap you don't press you just tap on the touch ID home button it pulls down the screen so that you can reach the stuff at the top there are a lot of apps that don't support the back gesture and so it's convenient to just be able to double tap on that thing to bring down stuff from the top of the screen so you can have those buttons so we've got a faster processor in here it's the a8 and it's running iOS 8 of course with the new healthcare app which works with the Apple watch but the really exciting thing at least with the 5.5 is you can turn it into landscape and you get some extra features so if we jump into messages here you can see you've got a two-tone tropane thing look at and then when you go into portrait you actually get little avatars whereas on the 4.7 inch model when you go into messaging you don't get those avatars so not only do they just give you a bigger screen they also give you more information on inch screen and then when you turn it sideways you can see you get different interfaces there both of these models are available for pre-order on Friday and they should be available for sale on September 19 the 4.7 inch starts at $1.99 on contract and a larger 5.5 starts at $2.99 on contract and then it goes up as you get more storage
