Now that we don't have to worry about Apple fans getting angry over false rumors, we can discuss what the tech giant's new iPhone 6 means for the company.
What We Know So Far About the iPhone 6:
The new iPhone comes in two versions: the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, according to Forbes. Both versions will be powered by an A8 chip, which has 25 percent faster processing power and 50 percent faster graphics.
The device also includes an 8MP iSight camera that comes with a feature called Focus Pixels that shows if the pictures on the phone are in focus. The camera is able to detect faces and has a burst mode that detects smiles and blinks so the user can take the best photo.
Additional features include retina display screens that are thinner and stronger than those of the iPhone 5s, as well as a payment system called Apple Pay that lets users buy items by waving the iPhone 6 in front of a sensor at a store, Esquire reported. After the device confirms that the user's fingerprint matches up, the transaction will be complete.
The iPhone 6 also comes with touch ID sensors, 1.3 million applications in the App store, and a longer battery life, The Telegraph reported. Apple also plans to add voice-over-LTE and voice-over-Wi-Fi to give users the ability to make calls over 4G and Wi-Fi.
How the iPhone 6 Compares to the Galaxy Note 4:
Apple's iPhone 6 and Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 are both designed to keep track of the user's health and fitness.
The iPhone 6's motion processor can track altitude and determine what activities the user is engaged in, such as running, biking and walking up the stairs, Esquire reported. The feature can also record the distance the user has traveled.
The phone stores this information and syncs it into HealthKit, a program that doctors from Mayo Clinic designed to store nutrition, fitness and other important data, CBS Local reported. Doctors and family members will be able to access the information, and the phone can sync with Health, MyFitness Pal, Nike+ and other fitness apps.
The Galaxy Note 4 can check the user's blood oxygen levels, according to Android Headlines. When the user is outside, the device can also check the how much ultraviolet (UV) light is coming from the sun.
Users can look at this information by putting their finger on the sensor located on the back of the Note 4 and using the S-Health app to keep track of their health.
What We Know So Far About the iWatch:
Apple's first wearable, called the Apple Watch, launched right after the introduction of the iPhone 6. It will be available in two sizes and three models, which are steel, aluminum, and real gold.
The watch needs an iPhone to work, and is compatible with the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 5, 5c and 5s models, The Guardian reported.
The device will be able to determine if the user tapped or press the screen, and its sapphire Retina display will be able to detect force. Another feature is the MagSafe-styled wireless charger that sticks to the back, The Verge reported.
A "digital touch" program is included and will allow users to communicate with the device by tapping a message instead of saying or texting it. The watch also has four rings on the back that act as sensors for detecting heart rate. These sensors feature infrared and visible-light LEDs, as well as photosensors.
The Apple Watch's Activity and Workout apps are designed for keeping track of the user's heart rate, movement and GPS location. These apps are able to accomplish this by working with an iPhone. Three rings are shown on the Activity app to show the user's activity throughout the day, with the first being for "Move," the second being for "Exercise," and the third being for "Stand."
Those looking to buy the Apple Watch will have to wait until early 2015, and the watch will be available starting at $349.
iPhone 6 Price and Release Date:
Since Apple fans now know the iPhone 6 is legit, they will have to wait until Friday, Sept. 12 to pre-order both versions, with the iPhone 6 starting at $199 and the iPhone 6 Plus starting at $299, BGR reported. Shipping for the two models will begin the following week on Sept. 19.
