Two new iPhones, an Apple Watch smartwatch, and Apple Pay have all been announced today. But what are all these things and are they something for you?
The two new iPhones are the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, both of which will be available to buy on September 19th. The iPhone 6 has an increased screen size of 4.7 inches and an increased battery life of 11 hours of video watching. The iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5 inch screen and 14 hours of increased battery life of video watching. Both include a new processor that is 25% faster than the 5S. They will have a 8 megapixel camera with a new camera that focuses faster than earlier models. New software includes Apple's new HealthKit that monitors health information like heart rate, sleep, weight, and blood pressure. The 16 GB iPhone 6 will be $199, the 64 GB will be $299, the 128 GB will be $399, and the iPhone6 Plus will start at $299.
Another new Apple gadget is the Apple Watch smartwatch. It comes in three versions and two sizes. To use the smartwatch you need an iPhone. It will display notifications and comes with several new apps. These include opening your hotel room door with your watch or sending finger strokes to a friend. It will not be available to buy until early 2015 and will start at $349.
Both the new iPhones and the Apple Watch will have Apple Pay capabilities. Apple has made deals with several major credit card companies and several major retailers to allow users of this mobile payment platform to use payment terminals with a single tap. The security in place does not store your credit card information on the phone. This technology is looking to replace the need for a wallet.
