Apple's new iPhone lineup has been well received by consumers and critics alike. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have broken many new records, as its first weekend sales topped 10 million worldwide.
If money is not a big issue, it won't matter much. If you are due on upgrade, here are top 5 solid reasons why you should upgrade to the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. Stay tuned to GizBot for more upgrades!
Bigger than ever
The iPhone 6 has rounded edges, and is larger than the iPhone 5s with a 4.7 -inch display, and Apple is calling it "Retina HD." It's just 6.9mm thick compared with the iPhone 5S's 7.6mm.
The iPhone 6 Plus , on the other hand, is the real departure from Apple's past designs. This very handset has a huge 5.5-inch 1080p screen. With the iPhone 6 Plus, the company has introduced a new feature called "Reachability." Well simply double-touch the home button and the entire UI slides down so you can more easily reach buttons at the top of the screen.
Better Specs
The processor fitted inside the iPhone 6 is, as expected, called the A8 processor. It's 64-bit just like the A7 processor in the iPhone 5S, but delivers up to 25 % faster CPU and up to 50 % faster GPU. Doesn't that sound great ?
More Storage
As expected, now you can get the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus in a 128GB of storage space. Unfortunately, the iPhone 6 will not be available in 32GB storage option. You will be able to buy it in 16GB, 64GB and 128GB options.
Awesome Camera
Although the iPhone 6 still has an 8-megapixel iSight camera with True Tone flash, 1.5 micron pixels and an f/2.2 aperture. But the company says they have used an entirely new lens. Moreover, thanks to iOS 8, the iPhone 6 will get a new Time Lapse feature, too.
Apple Pay and NFC
Both variants of the iPhone 6 will have a new wireless technology built-in. Basically Apple has added NFC to the iPhone 6 as part of its new Apple Pay contactless payment platform. All you need to tap the top of your phone on the NFC reader and your transaction is done.
