iPhone 6 Plus with 5.5-inch Retina HD display announced, starting at $299 | The Verge. Apple officially announced two new larger phones on Tuesday, the iPhone 6 with 4.7-inch display and iPhone 6 Plus with 5.5-inch display, both of which come in gold, silver, and space gray. Both phones also have a new body design with rounded edges, instead of the straight edges on the iPhone 5S. The 5.5-inch screen iPhone 6 Plus is by far the largest phone Apple has created, dwarfing the iPhone 5S's 4-inch diagonal screen. It comes after recent leaks showing purported components for a 5.5-inch screen device, and years of rumors indicating Apple was making larger-screened phones. The iPhone 6 Plus starts at US $299 for a 16 GB model, $399 for a 64 GB model, and $499 for an all-new 128 GB model, the largest storage yet on an iPhone. Pre-orders for both phones begin on Friday, September 12th and in-store sales and shipments start one week later on Friday, September 19th, in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, and Singapore.

We covered Apple’s event live from the Flint Center for the Performing Arts at DeAnza College in Cupertino, just a few miles from Apple’s headquarters, on Tuesday. This was a big one: sure, there were new iPhones, but the real interest was in Apple’s approach to wearable computing, which we’ll finally get a sense of with the demonstration of the Apple Watch. Apple used the site of two very important events in company history — the original Macintosh launch in 1984 and the iMac launch in 1998 — for the event.

There’s been no shortage of speculation about Apple’s iPhone 5S, the company’s supposed future flagship, but a new rumor provides some indication as to what Apple’s budget iPhone could be called. According to purportedly leaked images of Apple retail packaging, the rumored budget iPhone could be dubbed the iPhone 5C.
The photo, which initially appeared on the Chinese WeiPhone forum that has provided credible leaks in the past, depicts a manufacturer’s bin full of retail boxes labeled iPhone 5C. The plastic boxes suggest that this could be the packaging for Apple’s rumored plastic-coated iPhone, and the title hints that Apple may have adopted a new naming convention for its alleged budget iPhones.

The minimalist Protector iPhone 5 case is made out of durable silicone. My favorite from Griffiin though, may be the Chevron Hard case for iPhone 5 in 3 cool styles. 0Share.
