1. Apple Unveils New, Bigger iPhone 6 Plus
There's a new iPhone out, and this time it's not only better -- but also much bigger.
Apple announced a new pair of iPhones at an event in Cupertino, California, on Tuesday. As
predicted, both of the phones have larger screens than previous Apple phones. The iPhone 6 Plus
features a 5.5-inch screen, while the iPhone 6 will have a 4.7-inch screen. In comparison, the iPhone
5s has a 4-inch screen.

The release confirms the long-standing rumor that Apple would introduce a bigger phone in order to
compete with Android phones, namely Samsung, in the increasingly popular "phablet" category.
Also as predicted, the larger phone will be more expensive, starting at $299 with a contract.
The iPhone 6 Plus screen features Retina HD technology -- allowing for crisper video and images
than ever before. The 6 Plus is also thinner than previous iPhones at just 7.1 millimeters wide,
though it is slightly thicker than the iPhone 6.

hours of video.
3. Both of the new iPhones will have upgraded processors. The iPhone 6 Plus is 84 times faster than
