The iPhone 5 has been discontinued. This article is updated with the newest iOS support information and is highly useful for anyone purchasing any of the new models from the auction site. There are a number of online auction sites that have iPhones for sale, and they may offer these models at a significant discount if they are not sold by the retail outlets. The best way to find out what you can get for your money is to get the latest information from the official Apple store.

Apple’s iPhone is considered to be one of the most popular cell phones in the world. The new phones have many features that make them stand out from the competition, including the ability to use a camera that is nearly as good as the one on the original model. The new phone also features touch screens, which makes navigating the menus much easier than before. These features have all put Apple into a position where they are the number one choice of consumers everywhere. If you are looking for a good bargain, you should try and find one at an auction site.

Although some people may think the new iPhone makes a good gift, it is actually much better to purchase a refurbished iPhone. These units are purchased and refurbished by Apple and do not contain the newest version of the software. They are also not protected by warranty and are made to the highest standards. While this may seem like an undesirable choice, it is usually cheaper than buying a new unit. This is because refurbished units often cost a fraction of the price of a brand new one. Also, because you are buying a refurbished unit, there is no warranty included.

To find the latest models of iPhones at an auction site, look through a few auctions to find the models that are available in stock. Be sure to pay attention to the auction description and read it thoroughly. If a seller mentions that a specific model is out of stock, it is likely that they are not selling it right now and are waiting to receive orders from people that buy a newer model. If you are lucky enough to find a model available, you should place an order immediately. because it will take time for the auction site to sell the item and make a profit. In addition to the regular auctions, there are also auctions that are hosted by websites like eBay.

If you find that the auction that you are interested in has iPhone models that are not being sold by the retailer, check with the site owner to see what options they have available to help you purchase the item. Many of the auction sites allow you to add a payment method, and you may be able to set up a secure transaction on a credit or debit card. This process allows you to place the full amount that you paid for the item on a secure payment processor that would allow you to pay for the item with your credit card and then use this payment method when placing an order. Be sure that you keep records of this information and that you send the payment information to the auction site if you change your mind about the purchase.

As soon as possible after placing your bid, you should be able to receive your iPhone in the mail. Once you have received your iPhone, check to see that you do not accidentally pay for the item before the auction is over. It is very easy to do this when you try to place the bid at an auction site, and if you do not receive the item at that point, wait another week or two until it is time to ship the item. Make sure you remember to read the terms of service that are located on the auction site when you place the order so that you don’t miss out on any payment issues.

With beautiful colors which add sophistication to the Apple iPhone 8, no one would delay buying this stunning luxurious mobile.

The Apple iPhone 6S & 6S Plus are both the latest releases from Apple to try and set a new benchmark in the market. Apple products are world renowned for build quality and consistency. These new handsets make other manufactures look on with envy.

With a new rose gold aluminium finish to ensure everyone around you knows your rocking the «S» series, they still make me want to hold them for a millisecond longer. Waking up in the morning to that harsh but reassuring feel of stone cold aluminium still makes me smile inside. I love quality feeling products. From Apple, to Android and back to Apple – I can’t say that about any other devices I have owned.

Some sources are recommending the larger 6S Plus as the «preferred choice» for anyone looking to get hold of one of these beasts, due to the larger screen and larger battery. I would rather say: go with what fits your needs. I have children, so the 6S Plus is ideal for keeping the kids quiet on long journeys, or boring trips to the supermarket. Multimedia consumption on the iPhone 6S (as was with the standard 6) is a really pleasurable experience.

The biggest and most noticeable change to come to the iPhone 6S & 6S Plus is the new screen technology called 3D touch. It lets you access quick options and common tasks by holding down on an App icon with a little pressure. To be honest, it’s a great addition. During my Android days, it was great to have an options button for apps to complete quick and common app functions. By holding down on an app, you are presented with a quick actions menu, which differs from app to app. Apple should have added this function years ago in my opinion. But better late than never and it works beautifully.

Using the new 3D Touch technology, you are now also able to use the keyboard as a virtual mouse. Well kind of. Before, if you made a typing boo-boo, you would hold your finger down on the text input field until the bubble appeared and drag the cursor to the desired place on the page where you want to make the edit. Say goodbye to that bubble.
Editing is now instigated by moving your finger on the keyboard (with a little downward pressure) and whala – your cursor appears and you can start moving it to your desired position on the screen.

The camera has also been improved. I have always rated the camera’s in the iPhones regardless of megapixel hype. The new 12MP rear camera is magnificent! It’s also capable of shooting 4K video. But be warned, 4K recording with require lots of internal memory and storage. The files get pretty big, pretty fast!

OK, so it’s not all graces and applause from me. Those horrid antenna lines that stand out on the back of the phone are still prominent, no matter which direction you look at them and the slippy back has almost cost me my handset a few times already. That pretty much demands that a case is used, but it’s a shame to cover up such a great piece of technology.
That being said, the 6S and 6S Plus are both made from stronger aluminium than the standard 6, which is noticeable when you pick up the new handsets. They are also marginally thicker than the 6. Not by much, but it’s noticeable.

I can’t help but think that the «S» series is a testing unit – for bigger and better things to come. Take 3D touch for example – 90+ sensors under the screen measuring the pressure of your every touch – but only works with Apple’s apps. The 4K video recording – I mean, it’s a great to have, but how many of us have 4K ready multimedia systems at home. I don’t for sure. It’s still not as main stream as people hoped and it won’t be until the cost of 4K products comes down. Samsung has been including 4K recording in some of its handsets since back in 2013. And I don’t know if many people actually take full advantage of it. It’s really a pro feature, great to have but better left disabled for the time being.

I could go on and on about the new Apple handsets but that’s not going to happen. Why? Because you can find that stuff all over the internet. What I want to do is cover the question of – Is it the best phone ever made and is it worth your upgrade?
Saying that something is the best ever instantly deflates other manufacturers efforts and I believe that it’s not fair to do that.

Is it the best iPhone ever? In my opinion, No. The reason I say that is because the features that the iPhone 6 offers are, well, more useful today. Everything that you need to do on a day to day basis is easily achieved by the 6, and in my opinion, the 6 is the best iPhone for the normal consumer. I am by no means saying that the 6S is not a worthy contender for your hard earned cash, but how many of those bells and whistle’s can be used everyday? Sure, you will look great putting down an iPhone 6S or 6S Plus on the table at your local watering hole, but have no room on your phone for anything else, once you have taken a few 4K «showing off» videos.

If you currently rock an iPhone 5 or 5S, the 6S will blow you away. It’s a fantastic piece of hardware and you’ll be pleased with it.
My 6 is still my everyday driver. The 6S is going back on Monday. Nice, but not worth it at the moment I’m afraid.

If you happen to be a newcomer to Apple, or still hanging onto the iPhone 4 that is giving its final breaths, you’ll be interested in what each of the latest iPhone models have to offer, and whether the price to pay matches the capabilities each phone has to offer. We summarise each key feature of the iPhone and explain what you can get with each model.
Designs

With size comes different weights and designs. The iPhone 6 Plus is quite clearly Apple’s move into the «phablet» market, offering a large HD Retina screen that’s great for videos and photos. It is the heaviest model at 172 grams, versus the lightest model (iPhone 5S) at just 112 grams. The top three models (The 6 Plus, 6 and 5S) look very similar, with an all metal chasis that oozes strength and sleekeness. This is in stark contrast to the 5C, which offers a polycarbonate shell, allowing the manufacturer to offer its largest range of colours. But it isn’t fun and games, as the 5C offers similar strength in terms of design that won’t shatter when inevitably dropped.
Storage Capacities

If you’re a keen photographer, loyal movie fan or constant listener to MP3s, you’d be more interested in Apple’s more expensive models that offer higher internal memory capacities. Both iPhone 6 models offer versions up to 128GB, allowing you to throw as much as you like onto the device without running out of storage. The cheapest model, the 5C, can only offer a maximum of 32GB of internal storage. So choose wisely depending upon your needs.
Displays

The traditional smartphone models, the 6, 5S and 5C all offer very similar displays, boasting LED-backlit IPS touchscreens at 326ppi and similar resolutions. If you’re looking for a larger, higher resolution display, then only the iPhone 6 Plus can meet your requirements with its 1920×1080 pixel resolution at a higher 401ppi.
Processors

There is a significant difference between the two pairs in terms of internal chips. The 5S and 5C hold Apple’s dated chips (The A6 and A7) with M7 motion coprocessors. With the more expensive models, you receive Apple’s latest A8 chips and M8 motion coprocessor. This means faster responsiveness and easier handling under multiple applications run.
Cameras

In all honesty, you’re not getting a bang for your buck with camera upgrades or changes. The cameras on all four devices have hardly changed: 8-megapixel rear cameras and 1.2-megapixel front cameras on all models. You could say that video recording has improved slightly, but nothing to shout about.
Battery Power

With the manufacturer under recent scrutiny for its poor battery performances with older models, you are getting your money’s worth if choosing the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. These models offer up to 20% improvement than the 5S and 5C, so if you’re not looking to sit by a wall for most of the device’s life, then opt for the latest models to take advantage of improved battery life.
The Real Differences?

When it comes down to actual results, the differences between the pair of 6’s and the previous 5S and 5C are marginal. For more money, you’re paying for improved battery life, larger screens, faster processors and improved storage capacities. If you’re not too bothered about the latest technology, you could end up saving a significant amount of cash opting for the previous pair.

The iPhone 5C is Apple’s latest form of innovation among their mobile phone product line, a new model that has been produced to tap markets looking for more affordability. While affordable is subjective in itself, many still see this model as a premium device at a premium cost. In reality, it is simply slightly cheaper than their other models on offer, such as their iPhone 5S, with less features. In comparison to its closest competitors offered by other firms, the features it holds lack in quality, with little real innovation proven over the years Apple has had.

The usual glass and aluminium we see with Apple’s iPhones is switched with polycarbonate as seen last with the iPhone 3GS. This appeals to some; disgusts others. Allowing a range of colours to be created using such materials, there is certainly a model for someone. But the device simply cannot be compared with the iPhone 5 and 5S, both on another level of sleekness. It wouldn’t be ridiculous to associate the 5C with child electronic devices. But then again, there’s another market there. Being able to throw around such a precious device like toys could be seen as a huge positive, offering more durability in comparison to those previous handheld computers made from glass.

Our advantages: the range of colours allows higher personalisation, the operating system is, as expected, totally smooth with no lagging or crashing, and the battery life that has slowly deteriorated as these devices become more powerful is back again with this model. No more having to charge at lunchtime simply because your phone decides it needs to run more than 10 applications at once when it really does not need to. Oh, and the camera has improved significantly, it is far more «snappy» and responsive.

Our disadvantages: Apple market this model as though its affordable, but at the end of the day it’s still premium priced, delicate, and doesn’t match up to competitor products at the same price. Thus, it is not premium quality. Yet we know how easy it is to stay loyal with this giant. Despite taking their usual long time over releasing this, in comparison to the iPhone 5 which came out years ago, not much has changed, it seems like all that’s occurred is a design revamp and a new marketing campaign to push that and that only.

Key Specifications include Apple’s dual-core 1.3GHz A6 processor, several storage capacities, iOS 7, a 4-inch IPS screen, and an 8 mega-pixel camera with LED flash.
It’s easy to fall in love with this device. It fits in the hand perfectly, it’s standard overall size is great for those who previously stick with Apple, and it runs perfectly. But digging deeper only reveals it lacks what others on the market don’t. If you’re more focused on processor size, power, capacity, screen resolution and other technical details, then you might be better off sticking with a previous model, or consider alternative manufacturers.

The tech juggernaut Apple is known for its revolutionary high-end iPhone devices which has boosted the smartphone market with their rich features and eccentric functionality. Since the launch of its first iPhone in 2007, the company has never looked back and now, here it it-the renowned manufacturer of premium iPhone devices for which people seem ready to sell their one kidney.
However, several products have been discontinued, some are available, and some are in the hot trends. So, you are free to buy an Apple mobile which attracts you most and can also fit within your budget. Let’s take a ride to the evolution of Apple’s mobiles and find how Apple has changed since then.
