Apple Announces 4.7 iPhone 6, 5.5 iPhone 6 Plus

From DailyTech: After numerous leaks (as is the case with impending iPhone launches), the iPhone 6 is finally upon us. And as has been widely reported for the past 6 months, there are two versions of the iPhone that will be available and both of which look exactly like the leaked photos (including the protruding camera lens).

The first is the 4.7” iPhone 6, which comes with a 4.7” 1334 x 750 display. The second model is the iPhone 6 Plus which has a Full HD (1080p) display. Both machines are powered by a new Apple A8 processor (and companion M8 motion coprocessor). Apple says that the A8 features 2 billion transistors, is built on a 20nm process, and is 17 percent smaller than the previous generation A7. In addition, the A8 has a 20 percent faster CPU and a 50 percent faster GPU.

On a side note, Apple didn't mention anything about RAM size on the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, but previous reports have stated that both models would feature 1GB (the same amount as found on the iPhone 5/5C/5S). However, GeekBench 3 figures which were released before the Apple Keynote suggest that the 1GB figure is indeed accurate (along with a clockspeed of 1.4GHz):

Other specs include 802.11ac, Wi-Fi calling, 150Mbps LTE connectivity, and VoLTE capabilities. Apple has also seen fit to improve battery life — 3G browsing has increased from 8 hours on the iPhone 5S to 10 hours on the iPhone 6 (12 hours on the iPhone 6 Plus) and 3G talk time has been increased from 10 hours on the iPhone 5S to 14 hours on the iPhone 6 (and 24 hours on the iPhone 6 Plus).
