So in just over 24 hours Apple will be holding an event which is likely to unveil the iPhone 6 and the iPhone Air. There is also a chance Apple will take the lid of the much rumored iWatch. So what do we know about the new iPhone's, well almost everything has been leaked revealing a brand new design and finally a larger display. Below are what is to be believed to be the specs of each of the 2 new products.

iPhone 6

4.7" display with 1334 x 750 resolution (326 PPI)
137.5 x 67 x 7 mm
113 g
Dual-core 2 GHz A8 64bit CPU
1GB of RAM
32, 64 and 128GB memory NO 16GB version on launch ?
camera module to remain the same but higher MP count
2 tone LED flash for rear camera.
iOS8 on launch with new fitness apps to tie in with the iWatch
Space gray, white/silver and gold colour options.
1810mAh battery.
NFC chip for wireless payments and short range data transfer (via bluetooth 4.0)
LTE ready
Touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the home key
Power/lock key moved to the side for better ergonomics

iPhone Air

5.5" Sapphire glass display 2208 x 1242 resolution (460 PPI)
158 x 78 x 7.1 mm
156 g
Dual-core 2 GHz A8 64bit CPU
1GB of RAM
32, 64 and 128GB memory NO 16GB version on launch ?
Larger camera sensor and have OIS (how Apple will differentiate the 2 products)
2 tone LED flash for rear camera.
iOS8 on launch with new fitness apps to tie in with the iWatch
Space gray, white/silver and gold colour options.
2915mAh battery.
NFC chip for wireless payments and short range data transfer (via bluetooth 4.0)
LTE ready
Touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the home key
Power/lock key moved to the side for better ergonomics.

The 2 products are very similar in performance with only the camera on the iPhone Air being the main difference. Weather we'll see a difference in Gorilla glass and Sapphire glass remains to be seen.

If this turns out to be an 8Mpix cam with the sensor from the Z2/Z3 ... I really can't wait to see what it can do

^ they may have optimised iOS8 to work with 1GB just like Google did with KitKat as you only need 512MB of RAM to operate 4.4 smoothly.

Currently, iOS doesn't need more than 1GB to be honest. But it will make the device future-proof, when future iOS versions will need additional RAM. So I do hope these rumors are false and the i6 comes with at least 2GB RAM.

Only 3 hours left now
