The Wait is Over: The iPhone 6 is Here

On September 9th, Apple released information about the brand new iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus which was made available to the public on September 19th. With the release of the new iPhones, there is also the new Apple Watch and iOS 8.

“I like how thin and light the new phone is,” sophomore Ben Becker said. “I’m also very excited to use the new camera because it has improved greatly since last year’s camera.”

With a screen of 4.7 inches and a total size of 5.44 inches, the iPhone 6 starts at a price of $199. The available colors for the phone will be silver, gold, and space gray.

“I like the new iPhone because it is more improved and more advanced than the previous models. I also like how sleek and thin it looks,” sophomore Mark Gianguzi said.

The biggest iPhone yet, the iPhone 6 Plus, measures 6.22 inches with a screen size 5.5 inches. With a big size comes a big price. The Plus can be purchased for $299 for 16GB, $399 for 64GB, and $499 for 128GB.

In addition to the iPhones, Apple’s newest product the “Watch” was a shock to all apple fans.

“I think the new watch looks pretty cool,” junior Anthony Lauer said. “I think its a good addition to Apple’s line of products.”

There are three watch models: The Sport, The Casual and The Edition. The price of the watch will be listed at $349 when it is released in early 2015.

In September, Apple released its “most advanced software yet.” iOS 8 was released shortly before the new iPhones.

iOS 8 features two new apps within the software: Fitness Center and iPay. Fitness Center tracks every step and workout you complete, whereas, iPay enables users to pay by the tap of your phone.

“When I updated to IOS 8, I really didnt notice much difference,” sophomore Isaac Santiago said. “But I think it’s good for the phones to have new software every now and then.”
