iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

By
On September 19, 2014 Apple introduced the next generation iPhone - iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and lot more. Since the introduction of Original iPhone (1st generation) at 2007, iPhones are the most popular smart phones in the world. 

But last 18months seems not that good for Apple with a drop in sales globally as Android domination is growing tremendously. As Android based high end smart phones started flowing into market customer loss interest in the classy iPhones. Companies like Samsung, HTC, Sony and Motorola bought out sleek looking Android based phones into market with high end specification and bigger screen, Apple still stick with relatively smaller phone and very few UI updates in iOS. Android based smart phone dominated smart phone markets very rapidly with the introduction of Android 4.0 Jelly Bean with better looking UI and smoother performance. 

After Tim Cook got incharge as the CEO o Apple lnc. replacing the former CEO and founder Steve Jobs, Apple moved to the next level with bumping up the display size and total UI change in iOS.
