Apple iPhone 6 Announcement: Everything you need to knowOn September 9, Apple shared announcements about their new iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. The Apple Watch now has the option of gold or rose gold finishes and it also includes new software features, like a GoPro app and a medical app called Airstrip, used to track your vital signs in real time. The new iPad Pro has the biggest tablet screen yet, clocking in at 12.9 inches. Its width is the same height as the iPad Air and it is 6.9 millimeters thick. The A9X chip inside helps the iPad hold double twice the memory and twice the storage. Other features on the new iPad include a stylus, four-speaker audio sequence, and 10 hours of battery life. Prices start at $799 and go all the way to $1,079. The latest model of the Apple TV will include an app store because the CEO of Apple says, "the future of television is in apps."The remote controller for the new TV will double as a game controller and the TV has new and impressive capabilities with Siri.The new remote control is controlled via bluetooth, meaning you don't he to point it at the TV. Lastly, the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus have stronger-glass displays and come in new colors and finishes, like rose gold, sliver, and space gray. The biggest change to the 6S series is the use of 3D touch, which allows to recognize pressure sensitivity and thing like swipe back and forth between apps. The camera also got impressive updates! The new iPhones are going to cost the same price as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus when they were released, however the rest of the phones will receive a price bump.
I chose this article because it shows just how far we've come in technology. We're now able to purchase phones that have 3D capabilities when some 100 years ago phones didn't really exist. This article also shows how much we rely on technology, which I personally don't think is a good thing. Before iPhones, Apple TVs, iPads, people had to find entertainment in more creative ways, likening outside. I know this is cliche, but I don't think we realize how easily available things are to us. I commend those who spend their lives creating new technology to entertain average people like myself.

I am so excited for the iPhone 6s to be released mostly because of the camera. It's crazy to me how the quality has come so far. It's now like HD camera quality and the difference from let's say the iPhone 5s to the iPhone 6 was already huge. Also, I need more storage so I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited to hear about the iPhone release! it is always a big public deal in America. Cant wait to grab mine:)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I think we take our resources for granted knowing that in the past it was much harder. Technology has caused us to communicate through devices instead of face to face with each other. But I do think that technology has majorly progressed and has changed our life for the better.
ReplyDelete3D touch? That's exciting! My very first phone was the iPhone 3GS. I still have that thing and it dies after about 2 minutes of use. It's crazy how far Apple has advanced over the past 5 years. (and technology in general.)
ReplyDeleteI just purchased an iPhone 6!!!!!! Completely unaware of a new release of the iPhone 6! I am so bummed :/
ReplyDeleteCrazy how technology comes as no shock to our generation as it has always been so widely available
