Upgrading your Contract and Thinking of the New iPhone 6?

A New Year, A New you and A New cell phone! According to some online sources more than 250,000 consumers are due for contract upgrades in the first quarter of 2015. If you're due an upgrade, it comes down to taking the latest version of what you already have or jumping ship. If you are a loyal iPhone user, your next upgrade is a no brainer but for those using a different brand and considering jumping ship, this article will be very helpful.

Firstly let’s look at the new IOS (IOS8) - If you have other apple devices, you will enjoy the IMPROVED continuity between all your devices. You will never lose any pictures, notes or any other details depending on how you setup your iPhone. The biggest con for the new IOS is the fact that it might slow down earlier devices. Just like any new operating system, there are still some bugs that need to be looked into and be fixed.

If you don’t have other apple devices, your IOS journey will start with this one. However, you can only fully enjoy your IOS device and it features if you have other apple devices.

Let’s review the standard iPhone 6; the iPhone 6 comes with a 4.7 inch display operating at a whopping 1,334 X 750 Pixels. Apple went out of their way and engineered the new A8 processor, the A8 chipset is the equivalent to the latest i7 processors in computers. The BIGGEST problem with iPhone 6 is the battery life. What’s new right? This problem consists in the new iPhone 6 as in the previous generation of iPhones (iPhone 5, 5S and 5C). With that said, the 6th generation of iPhones have improved in every other single area including, graphics; speed; resolution; camera and features.

Now let’s look at the iPhone 6 Plus. Do we have to point out the larger screen? The screen almost comes alive because of its 401 PPI (Pixels per Inch) and superb bright display. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus come with an 8MP camera which might be a turn off for some. The camera has subtle differences which you might notice if you are a camera enthusiast. It is also important to note that, the iPhone 6 is one of a few cell phone cameras that come with optical image stabilisation (OIS). This will assist with taking better still photos (No blurred photos).
