Aside from the iPhone 6, Cook had introduced iPhone 6 Plus, a bigger phone model that is posed to compete on the booming phablet market.
So what's new with the iPhone 6? Let's talk about the specifications.

It is however not yet definite when would it hit the local shore, but close estimate can be known on September 19, 2014 because Hong Kong is one of the countries where these models will be initially launch. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus's prices in Hong Kong should be somewhere near on the actual price should these models become available on the local market.
