iPhone 6 and Apple Watch - Little disappointment

Yesterday, Tim Cook announced the so expected iPhone 6 together with its big brother. Just as expected there were two iPhone presented, one of 4.7 inches big and the 5.5 inch phablet. Take a Look...



It looks great...but the black background prevents to perceive a design imperfection...It is the wide bezel. Now...take a look at the following image were actually you can see it clear.


iPhone 6 wide bezels
Not only the wide bezel is perfectly viewed, but also the black contour of the lcd display. Well...as much as I like white...I wouldn't be buying the white iPhone 6 device.

I'm not telling I won't buy the iPhone 6...actually I wanted it so much...but something changed.
If I buy the new iPhone, maybe I will go with the iPhone 6 Plus, not because the size, but because the battery life...Take a look.


As you can see, the iPhone 6 Plus has a larger battery life compared with the iPhone 5S and even with the iPhone 6 itself. Another interesting thing, is that the iPhone 6 plus, also has optical stabilization which allows take better photos.

What else...
Better focus (still 8 Mega pixel), new NFC (Near Field Communication) which drives the new Apple Pay payment system.

...And, No Sapphire?!, right. ion-strengthened glass only.
