The renowned technology company unveiled its latest smartphone design at a scheduled Tuesday (September 9) showcase in Cupertino, California.

As rumored, the new iPhone will come in two sizes. The first will have a screen nearly an inch larger than the current model, at 4.7 inches. The second, the iPhone 6 Plus, will be 5.5 inches. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will be the thinnest phones Apple has ever made. iPhone 6 will come with iOS 8, with a new keyboard, a one handed controller, HealthKit suite and more. (EW’s PopWatch)

These iPhone 6 Plus screen features will make it an instant standout…

Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus will come with a retina screen amongst other key features.

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.

Pricing for the new phones will start at $199 with an accompanying two-year contract.

The iPhone 6 comes in 3 different flavors: 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB costing $199, $299 and $399 respectively on a two-year contract. The iPhone 6 Plus costs $299 for 16GB, $399 for 64GB, and $499 for 128GB on a two-year contract. The devices land in gold, silver, and space grey. Pre-orders start on September 12 and Apple will begin shipping the devices September 19. (ZDNet)

Apple CEO Tim Cook also used the event to reveal other new technology.

Cook then presented Apple’s new wearable computer, the Apple Watch, describing it as the “next chapter” in the company’s history and a “breakthrough.” The watch, which is available with six interchangeable bands, comes in stainless steel or 18K gold. Users navigate by touching and tapping, as well as with a crown on the right side of the watch. (CBS News)
