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.

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

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
