STORY: Apple unveiled two new iPhones on Tuesday with sharper and larger displays, confirming longstanding speculation it will move into a market segment dominated by arch-rival Samsung Electronics.

The pressure is on for the world's largest tech company to wow at its "special event" in Cupertino.
