The new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus premiered Sept. 19 and the buzz was louder than the old iPhone’s vibrate function.
iPhones are slick, easy-to-use phones that carry a stigma of having “the newest Apple product.” It comes with everything that falls off the Apple tree: iPods, iPads, iPhones and iWhatever.
They carry a look that is streamlined, modern and gorgeous technology attached to the hips of most adults and high schoolers alike.
These stigma carrying touchscreens come in dazzling colors and are compatible with many cases, which appeals to the fashionistas (or fashionisters) of the world, and Apple hypes the updates and new releases, making sure everyone wants to be a part of the talk.
Emoticons available to users can perfectly express emotions in brilliant high-definition, which definitely trumps :) , :( ,>:) and >:(.
Apps are the easiest to access on Apple products, from Candy Crush to QR Code readers. Games can be linked through Apple’s Game Center, where the avid player will never lose a level or high score, and Reminders and Notes keep the disorganized teenager from forgetting that Comma quiz in English.
Siri is the personal assistant everybody wishes they had, who can joke with you about how two iPhones walked into a bar or tell the phone number of that friend who slipped the mind.
The cloud is a hub of your information, connecting iPhones, iPads and MacBooks information. All contacts, messages and photos are able to be accessed from each device connected their individual Apple I.D.
The new iPhone 6 gives the look and feel of larger models powered by Android, but keeps the aura that iPhones always have.
Like all products, Apple isn’t perfect. Windows assistant Cortana, which is similar to Siri, has different features and abilities that Siri lacks. It’s a personal choice, whether you’re Team Android or Team Apple.
However, my recommendation is when looking for a new and necessary accessory, try to find the product that doesn’t fall too far from the Apple tree.
