- comments
As Silicon Valley and the rest of the world is set abuzz after months of anticipation for the newest Apple reveal, the biggest thought on everyone's minds is when and where can we get out hands on the newest iPhone gadgets? And with the expected release date just around the corner, you can start lining up now; trust me, you'll need to.
As news breaks out of Cupertino, California, it is being revealed that the smartphone giant Apple will be releasing not one, but two new additions to the iPhone family of products. Named the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, the phones will be having 4.7" and 5.5" retina HD screens, and will be 50 times faster than the original and 25% faster processing than its 5S predecessor. WiFi will also be getting a boost, with streaming power that is three times faster than the iPhone 5S released just last year.
Peaked your interest in a new iPhone? Well here's how you can get your hands on the goods.
While Apple has kept a tight lid on the exact details of the iPhone 6 release, preorders and carriers in anticipation of the Sept. 9 unveiling happening right now, history serves us well to find the usual culprits and plans are already under way. Expected to release just ten days from now on Sept. 19, preorders should be up a week before, putting you on your wag to a new iPhone 6 Friday Sept. 12 at the witching hour,12am EST. Preorders will be available through carriers and Apple's online portal, however, some companies are already taking pre-preorders for the iPhone that's being released bit by bit over the next few hours. In fact, China Mobile has already taken over 30,000 preorders on just an unendorsed product shot dreamed up by some unaffiliated iPhone theorists.
If you're looking to pay out of pocket, the new iPhone 6 will cost you a pretty penny. Retailing at $650 for the lowest 16GB version, fans of the iPhone will be paying mint prices through Apple itself. However, as carriers will also be offering the newest iPhone 6 with two year contracts, you can expect the market price to be $199 with a two year contract through your service provider.
Who's going to carry them? Good question! While it is still the best plan of attack to get your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus through Apple itself, we expect that the primary release will also take place with large Apple sellers Verizon Wireless and AT&T, before releasing through carriers like T-Mobile at a later date.
Keep your eyes peeled for more news, and it'd be best to cancel work for the next two weeks, because people are already lining up for theFriday Sept. 19 release and you won't want to miss out on all the fun!
