The new Apple phone was unveiled this year as early as the eighth minute of the conference, which is much earlier than previous phones were shown the Cupertino company. Confirmed speculation that the smartphone will be present in two different versions that differ in the length of the diagonal of the screen. The basic model is simply named iPhone 6, a larger variant was called iPhone 6 Plus – not iPhone 6 Air, we thought so far.
