Apple’s new iPhone 6 is a mystery no more.

CEO Tim Cook revealed the much-anticipated devices – yes, there are two - on September 9th.

The most obvious difference between the new and previous models is size.

While the iPhone 5 had a diagonal screen measurement of 4 inches, the display on the standard 6 model is 4.7.
Still not big enough?

Fear not, it also comes in a larger version, the iPhone 6 Plus, which boasts a 5-and-a-half-inch viewable area.

They’ve compensated for the extra pocket space the phone will take up by making them thinner than their predecessors.

Apple has also introduced a new screen management capability for those who may have problems wrangling the information on the larger display.

A simple double touch movement will slide the contents of the screen down towards the bottom half.

Other improvements include a faster chip, longer battery life, and a video stabilizer.

Noticeably gone are the 32-gigabyte versions. The phones now come in configurations of 16, 64, and 128.

Pricing has remained steady, with standard-sized models ranging from 199 to 399 dollars with a two-year contract.

The iPhone 6 Plus has a starting contract price of 299 dollars.
