I don’t know if there is anyone who doesn’t know what Apple is, but if you don’t, it is the massively popular electronics company behind products such as the iPhone, and Mac computer. Recently they have released some new products, causing buzz all over the world.

One of Apple’s new products is the iPhone 6. This new phone comes in two variations, the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. the 6 has a 4.7 inch display, while the 6 Plus has a 5.5 inch display. Similarly, the 6 is 6.9mm thick and the 6 Plus is 7.1mm thick. The last big difference between the two is the screen resolution, or how clear the screen graphics are; the 6 Plus has a slightly higher resolution, but both are great!

Now that we’ve cleared up the difference between the two phones, let’s get into some more specs. The new phones use an A8 chip which make the sensors able to pick up more, and gives you longer battery life. Also the new phones have a much better camera which can shoot 1080p HD video at 60 frames per second, and slow motion at 240 frames per second. Also, a new time lapse feature was introduced, which allows you to record footage and then speed it up. And the last big feature introduced was Apple Pay, which is a new payment system that Apple introduced that lets you pay for things directly from your phone. Apple is hoping that this new payment system will eventually eliminate credit cards.

The next, and probably most exciting announcement was the introduction of the Apple Watch, a wearable smart watch with tons of features! There are three variations of the new watch. There is the simple Apple Watch, which is comes in a stainless steel or black stainless steel body with a screen made of sapphire glass, the second hardest transparent material after diamond. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus also use this hard screen. The second type of watch is the Apple Watch Sport which comes in two varieties of aluminum bodies and has a screen protected with X-Glass to make it extremely resilient to scratches and impact. The last variety of watch is the Apple Watch Edition which comes in 18-carat yellow gold bodies and also has the sapphire glass screen. Also, all of the watches come in two sizes, a 38mm body, or a 42mm body, and each style of watch comes with a variety of stylish bands to attach the watch to your wrist.

The Apple Watches also have some cool features; since there is not a keyboard, whenever you want to type you need to do it by voice. Also, you can ask Siri (the in phone assistant) more than ever, such as to talk to a friend or schedule a lunch date. The watches can also monitor your fitness to keep you on top of your health. And to everyone out there who loves social media websites as much as me,  you can still have all of those apps on your watch. Now, some of you probably wonder if the watch will replace your phone. Odds are not; the watch is designed to link up with your phone.
