Is The IPhone 6 Really A Game Changer,

Apple's new iPhone 6 has hit the marketplace in a big way. According to reports from the tech giant, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have broken all previous sales records, based on comparable three-day launch periods. Some 10 million phones have already been sold. The launch of the "5's" generated sales of 9 million and included numbers in China where the 6 is not yet available, making the new sales figures even more impressive. Apple fans are grabbing these devices as never before.

But do these phones represent a major breakthrough or simply a smaller step in the iPhone evolution, Design elements are surely impressive. The 6's are larger and visually appealing. The standard 6 has been enlarged from the iPhone's 4.0 inches screen to one that is 4.7 inches. The 6 Plus is has gone full "phablet" with a 5.5 inch display. It offers optical stabilization in the camera, something missing in the standard 6. It also provides the ability to run more apps in the horizontal landscape mode and use a split screen feature.

It has more battery life than the smaller version. Both phones have a flatter design with a faster A8 processor. Speeds will be improved over WIFI and LTE. Voice quality over LTE should be better. More onboard storage is available too. Apple Pay is incorporated on both phones. This is the company's way of turning your phone into a virtual digital wallet.

Android users that have fled the Apple brand may wish to take a second look at the 6s. The larger screens and additional customization are good reasons to return to the easy to use iOS 8 operating system. The bumped up storage tier goes a long way to closing the gap with iPhone competitors.

Hard core Android fans will point to a selection of phones that cost less and have higher resolution. They will point out that their devices have better battery life, removable SD storage and even removable batteries. Many Android followers are eagerly awaiting the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in mid-October.
