Apple Live Event: iPhone 6, Apple Watch

[John Kotches]

<div class="bbWrapper">Interesting announcements on the phone s, but they are showing they don&#039;t lead anymore.<br /> <br /> Iphone 6 resolution I have had for 2 years, iPhone 6+ is a year behind.<br /> <br /> Battery life increases are good, but what are the comparative battery capacities? If those are larger the runtime increase is somewhat misleading.<br /> <br /> 802.11ac, again not leading. <br /> <br /> Iterative, not innovative.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">The M8 coprocessor continuously measures motion data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass.<br /> iPhone 6 has a barometer that senses air pressure to measure relative elevation.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">WiFi calling is cool. I&#039;ve been asking for this for a long time. Looks like I won&#039;t need my Verizon Network Extender anymore.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">The Wifi calling is a nice feature, hopefully carriers get behind it.<br /> <br /> Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">iPhone 6 has an 8MP iSight camera, 1.5µ pixels, ƒ/2.2 aperture. And an all-new sensor.<br /> Focus Pixels are a technology previously found only in professional DSLR cameras.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">iPhone 6 has digital image stabilization. iPhone 6 Plus adds optical image stabilization.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">It looks like the 6 Plus has quite a bit more battery life. Depending on pricing that might be enough for me to change my mind on the bigger phone. The 6 is a better size for me but making it through the day with my iPhone 5 battery is always iffy.</div>

 

[king3pj]

<div class="bbWrapper">I don&#039;t care about any of this camera stuff they hype every year. My iPhone 5 already takes great pictures. I just want to hear about new features and the iWatch at this point. That and pricing.</div>

 

[Ilya]

<div class="bbWrapper">iPhone 6 has incredible advances in video. Starting with a new Apple-designed video encoder.<br /> Capture slo-mo video at 120 fps or 240 fps. And. That. Is. Really. Slow.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">The FaceTime HD camera has an all-new sensor and larger ƒ/2.2 aperture that lets in over 80% more light.</div>

Third party apps have had notifications for a long time.</div>
