           Just like the release of any other new iPhone, the world was excited and ready to buy. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus broke records selling over 10 million iPhones in the first weekend. Coming out just after iOS 8 boosted sales greatly as Apple claimed that the new iPhone brings their new software to life.

            There are many new features to the iPhone 6, but one of the most notable is the weight. Weighing 129 grams, the new iPhone is incredibly light in comparison to other new smartphones on the market. In addition, it is thinner than the iPhone 5s at 6.9 millimeters thin. However, with the thinness comes sacrifices like a small battery and a protruding camera lens. Although it may not seem like a big deal, a camera lens not level with the back of the phone means the phone cannot lay flat and the lens is the first thing to get scratched when being sat down.

            The new phone is now all metal and curved around the edges. This means it is a lot more slippery than its predecessor and makes it easier to drop or slip, which was shown with the unboxing of the first iPhone 6.

            On the front of the iPhone is the new 4.7 inch screen, and Apple’s new 1334 x 750 display also knows as Retina HD; this is the same as the previous iPhone, the 5s. With all the new features, the new product can be talked up. As one of Apple’s biggest releases in a while, it is an almost guaranteed great buy, but things like battery life or camera quality one can only try out and decide for themselves.
