iPhone 6: Release date and pre-orders
You'll be able to get your hands on the iPhone 6 on September 19th in the UK and pre-order from the 12th. That's the same date as the US, so there's no waiting around for a delayed UK release. You'll be able to get iOS 8 for any existing devices, on 17th September. See also: How iOS 8 compares with iOS 7 in screenshots
The iPhone 6 is now up for pre-order but unless you got in there quickly, you'll be looking at a lengthy wait for your new smartphone. Apple has announced that it received four million orders for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in the first 24 hours - twice that of the iPhone 5s. All of the models, apart from the silver 16GB iPhone 6 state a delivery of 3-4 weeks on Apple's UK store.
iPhone 6: Price
The iPhone 6 will be available in 16GB, 64GB and 128GB versions - it's great to see the bigger storage capacities at last. The 16GB version will cost £539, 64GB will be £619, and up to £699 for the 128GB version. See: Where to buy iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in the UK.
iPhone 6: Design
The iPhone 6 will come in the same three hues as the iPhone 5s, but this is quite a different-looking smartphone. The edges are rounded - as shown in leaked images - and this makes the phone look thinner than it actually is.The new 4.7in screen is one of the iPhone 6's main features. It's what Apple is calling a Retina HD display. And it isn't just about resolution, which is 1334x750 (that's 326ppi, and 38 percent more pixels than the iPhone 5s). No, the glass front "curves around the side to meet seamlessly with the anondized aluminum back".
