Here's what the new iPhones look like (and what they can do)

“The biggest advancement in the history of the iPhone.”

APPLE HAS UNVEILED not one but two new iPhones – calling it the biggest advancement in the history of the iPhone.

Introducing the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus:

c8d1efe69dfd23ffcbf56bf94e05e15f33ff831a_large

Here’s what we know so far:

  • iPhone 6 has a 4.7 inch screen, iPhone 6 Plus, as you may have guessed, has 5.5 inch screen
  • iPhone 6 has 1334 x 750 pixels, iPhone 6 Plus has 1920 x 1080.
  • Both have Retina HD display
  • iPhone 6 is just 6.8mm thick, and iPhone 6 Plus is 7.1 mm
  • iOS 8 will allow landscape mode on the home screen – which makes use of the bigger screen

lands

  • Both new iPhones use 64-bit chip – which means 20% faster CPU and 50% faster graphics
  • Both iPhones have a barometer, which senses air pressure to measure elevation – which means they know if you’re climbing. Handy for the Health App

Cameras

  •  iPhone 6 has 8MP camera with new sensor, uses “phase detection” autofocus
  • Burst mode detects smiles and blinks, and recommends the best photo available

camera

  •  Slow-motion videos can be captured at 120 frames per second or 240 frames per second. That’s VERY slow.

Prices

prices

  • iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will go on sale on 17 September, but you can pre-order on 12 September
  • iPhone 6 starts at $199 in the US, based on a two-year contract
  • iPhone 6 Plus starts at $299 in the US, based on a two-year contract

Apple Pay

  • A MAJOR new development using NFC (near field communication) and your iPhone to store credit card information and allow payment at thousands of major retailers
  • Apple Pay will launch in the US in October, but we’ll have to wait to see when it makes it over here

    interesting story. although it’s missing the link of how they discovered his past when he died. fingerprinting during autopsy?

    then they would have had him years ago when he died. anyway I don’t think they take prints from dead body when they have and I.D anyway. several ways. scouting areas he was last seen maybe someone pointed in right direction. maybe he went back to childhood home. or maybe tv appeal with pictures. it nabbed whitey bulger

    So I guess they were wrong when they said at his trial ” no matter how much punishment he would receive, he could never change his character so as to be safe to be turned loose in public.”

    He died at the age of 67,and had been found guilty of a crime committed over 57 years previous. That would make him around 9 at the time of the crime…. Hmmmm
