14 DAY TRIAL // If you’re an Apple fanboy, you’ve probably taken the day off to watch Apple’s major event scheduled for 10am PDT / 1pm EST / 5pm GMT / 8pm CET, where the company plans to launch the iPhone number 6.
Even if you’re not a fan of the company and simply don’t care about the iPhone, we’re still happy to offer your everything you need to know about Apple’s next flagship smartphone for your general knowledge.
Apple fans, there are many of you who are already waiting in line to be among the first to get the iPhone 6, but you will still be able to follow us on your iPhone 4, 5, 5s or whatever the phone you’re using now.

We will bring you analyses, editorials, comparisons with previous iPhone models and other flagship smartphones on the market, pictures, lots of pictures, rumors popping up ahead of the release, and any other piece of information that a technology lover might be interested in.
This year, Apple has decided to live stream the iPhone 6 launch on the web, unlike several years ago when this wasn’t an option.
So, if you have a good enough Internet connection, you will be able to watch Apple’s launch event live, but we recommend keeping an eye on this space in case, for whatever reason, you are not able to watch the live stream.
Do I have to watch iPhone 6's launch or play Destiny? That is the question
Oh, and we know it’s Destiny’s launch day as well, so if you’re hooked in whatever world virtually rendered by the good folks at Bungie, we will forgive you. We wish we were able to do both things at the same time: play Destiny and get you all the iPhone 6-related info.
Anyway, if you’re simply interested in how Apple’s next iPhone smartphone(s) will look like, and if you want to know if it’s worth switching from your current device, then you will definitely get all the facts right here.

I hope you will all enjoy one of the most important events in the tech world. Let’s see how Apple decides to approach the iPhone 6 launch day and what surprises it has in store for us.
Update 1
The first "real" leak on iPhone 6's specs comes from China (not surprising) and offers us a glimpse at the technical specifications of the smartphone. Take it with a grain of salt though until the official announcement goes live.
Update 2
Apple seems to have found a new way to process sapphire glass, so it won't shatter so easily. The winning formula hasn't been revealed yet, but if the rumor is true, iPhone 6 could be indestructible.
Update 3
The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 is going to be a beast, which is why Apple will be including a high-capacity battery. A video of the 2915 mAh battery has just leaked online, hopefully it's legit.
Update 4
Here is an interesting analysis on whether or not Apple should launch the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 today instead of delaying it to early 2015.
Update 5
The first leak of the day that highlights the hardware performance of the iPhone 6 is here. I sincerely hope the benchmarks are not real.
Update 6
Previous rumors claimed that iPhone 6 would come with the same 8-megapixel camera as the iPhone 5s, but the module will perform much better. The first sample photo taken with the iPhone 6 has just leaked and confirms these rumors.
Update 7
More proof about Apple announcing both 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 models today has just leaked online in the form of adverts.
Update 8
And the Apple Store is down, so all we need now is for the Cupertino-based company to make the iPhone 6 official.
Update 9
iPhone 6 is said to come with a nice feature called one-hand mode that will allow users to control their phones with just one hand. While this is useful, it's not groundbreaking at all. More details can be found here.
Update 10
Some leaked iPhone 6 photos claiming they're the real thing have leaked online. See them all here.
Update 11
It has begun!
