Can you imagine the new iPhone 6 Plus running Windows and not the ordinary iOS firmware? I personally thought this was just a trick of a hacker who has jailbroken his Apple smartphone to install Windows on iPhone but I was mistaken. It looks like one Chinese users was able to do the trick even without jailbreaking which sounds like much fun.

If you even consider to run Windows 98 on iPhone 6 Plus or other model of the Cupertino famous smartphone you can try to contact user xyqo58775 [he is definitely using bbs.feng.com forum and this is where you might be able to reach him] and ask him to explain the trick for you. I don’t want to have Windows on the smartphone when I have it on my laptop but it can be cool to trick someone’s friends and relatives by porting Windows system on the iPhone.

Anyways, the Chinese guy says that he also tried to install Windows XP but failed. He assures that it can be done in theory but when you try to do this in real life the installation just gets stuck at one point and it is impossible to fix the issue and complete it.

By the way, xyqo58775 has even shared the detailed installation guide for anyone who wants to run Windows 98 on iPhone 6 Plus but everything is in Chinese, so do this at your own risk only. The step-by-step instruction is posted here. Maybe someone will soon translate it into good English as Google can’t do the job perfect and can make you fail instead of succeeding.

A couple of years ago hackers from Russia also installed Windows on the iPhone [it was the 3G model back then], but they jailbroke it first before being able to port Windows 95 on the smartphone.

Which smartphone to choose if you look at the new iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus? Apple has officially introduced both models and they have a lot of similar features. Still they are different and their price will be different.

Let’s look closer at the new generation iPhone 6 specs and compare them with the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus features and specifications. Is it worth paying $100 more for the Plus version or is the ordinary 6 model good enough? These are main questions customers are asking now, before the two devices appear on the Apple retail stores, carriers’ and retailers’ shelves.

iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus Release

Firstly, you will see both gadgets “in person” beginning from September 19th, 2014. This is the official release date for new Apple handsets. Secondly, a lot of stores are taking pre-orders for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus starting on Friday, September 12th. If you live in the U.S. this is the day when you can pre-order yourself the latest iOS device.

The official introduction was on September 9th at the Flint Center in Cupertino, CA. The first countries to get this smartphone are the USA, Canada, Germany, the UK, Japan, France, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. Over 100 more countries will see the iPhone 6
Plus and iPhone 6 by the end of 2014.

Now, let’s compare iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models. Which one do you like more?

iPhone 6 Specs

This version comes with 4.7-inch screen. It is smaller than the Plus model. Still even though its display is not as big as the one of the iPhone 6 Plus, the new iPhone 6 is still one of the largest smartphones created by Apple to date.

Its hardware is the same as in the big “brother” and its internals are also the same. The screen comes with 1334 x 750 pixels resolution. In other words, this model gets 326 pixel per inch figure.

Apple calls its “6” screens Retina HD displays and the company assures that the new gadgets get the improved screens.

This 4.7-inch model is promised to get 10 days or 250 hours of battery life. This is pretty nice even though the second version features even more. Users who really rely on their battery might like to get any of the upcoming gadgets as they both get enhanced specifications compared to earlier iPhones.

iPhone 6 Plus Price

This smartphone is more expensive than the ordinary 6 model. It features Retina HD screen that gets full sRGB color standard, better brightness, enhanced white balance and a lot of other nice extras. This screen should look much better under the bright sunlight and has great viewing angles.

Apple has added better polarizer to its Plus product making it clearer when you wear sunglasses and want to look at the display or check something on the screen.

The 5.5-inch display is a good size. This is the biggest iPhone ever created. It features 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution with 401 pixel per inch figure.

The bigger display requires tweaked software so keep this in mind before you make your purchase. Apple tweaks its iOS for bigger iPads so expect something similar, including more information in apps when you get into the landscape mode etc.

Is there a difference which iPhone to get? Well, the iPhone 6 Plus specs aslo include 16 days or 384 hours of battery life which is way more than the iPhone 6 battery can give you. But will you pay $100 for 6 extra days of battery life or not?

It’s up to you to decide! Both models can be pre-ordered beginning this Friday, September 12th so you still have time to choose your preference.

We’ve so many news and rumors on the iPhone 6 release date, specs and features that it’s hard to say for sure what this new smartphone will offer customers. Apple is expected to present so many new options and experts are not sure which features will appear in September and which will wait till another major smartphone line update.

The new 4.7-inch iPhone 6 launch date is believed to be in mid-September. Some sources mention September 19th while others just name this autumn month. You might have heard about two sizes of the next iPhone 6 September release. The model with 4.7-inch should be followed by 5.5-inch version however this second smartphone is still up in the air.

The next-get handsets will have iOS 8 pre-installed on them and everyone else will be offered to update to this new firmware version through OTA-update, direct links or iTunes. Nothing is set and confirmed by Apple yet.

Rumors are followed by predictions and expectations are followed by new reports. iOS developers continue testing iOS 8 betas with fourth one being revealed earlier this week.

iPhone 6 September 2014 is one of the most awaited smartphones. Some Chinese sites already offer customers to line up for online pre-orders and pay sellers for purchasing the new English iPhone 6 version as soon as it appears in stores across the U.S.

The 4.7-inch model will most likely appear this September however analysts suggest that Apple will have not time to update the 5.5-inch version this year postponing its release to 2015. These plans might change as Apple will most likely officially present its new smartphone in early September.

Are you waiting for the next iPhone 6? What would you like it to be? Will you get it as soon as it is launched or wait till Christmas to make it a Christmas gift?

There are two interesting rumors related to iPhone 6 launch date and specs. There might not be a 16GB device at all. Instead, as one Chinese site Wei Feng suggests, we will see the 32GB, 64GB and 128GB models for the 5.5-inch version. As for the 4.7-inch smartphone that is expected to appear first, it might be available in two storage options only.

When iPhone 6 Will Launch

While Apple is offering customers to switch their older models to the iPhone 5S or 5c, not everyone is eagerly coming to the retail stores to return their smartphone and have it replaced by one of these two devices. A lot of people are wondering when iPhone 6 is coming out and can now remember this date, September 19, 2014 as this is when experts believe the public release is going to occur.

The new handset is also rumored to have an new option photo stabilization. But such feature is doing to be present in the 5.5-inch 128GB model to differentiate it from the smaller display “bro.”

iPhone 6 release time is historically similar to previous years’ releases. For example, the 5c / 5S gadgets were launched on September 20, 2013. The older iPhone 5 was released on September 21, 2012. You get the idea, don’t you?

iPhone 6 Price

The updated models are expected to be more expensive than previous smartphones. Experts think that the next iPhone 6 will cost at least $100 more than the current iPhone 5S. Will Apple truly offer such high pricing or not, we’ll learn this fall.

The iOS 8 should be pre-installed on the new models while public should see it two days earlier than the official smartphone release. In other words, we should be looking for September 17 to officially install the new iOS 8 and September 19 to purchase the latest iPhone release.
