Marrying stunning hardware with killer software has been Apple's way, and the iPhone 6, it's most important product, moves the ecosystem forward in terms of device, software (iOS 8, OS X) and services (iCloud, Continuity, Apple Pay).

Apple’s popular iPhone hit its landmark 7th year and counters the challenge posed by competitors on a number of fronts.

iPhone 6 features an all-new seamless unibody design, a second generation  64-bit A8 processor and M8 coprocessor, a new camera sensor with enhanced video features and better focus and low light performance, NFC for payments, a Barometer, as well as the most LTE bands (20) on any smartphone in the market.

Report claims Apple partners with American Express for mobile payments in iPhone 6

Days away from the upcoming Apple event and the rumour mill is abuzz with life. A new report has surfaced saying Apple has reached an agreement with American Express to bring new mobile payment systems for the upcoming iPhone. This is in line with part leaks that have shown the presence of NFC (finally) in the iPhone 6. There are credit card companies that support NFC use for wireless payments and hopefully Apple’s supposed entry into the space might push merchants to support this kind of payment system. We’ll just have to wait a bit more to see if there is any truth to the new rumour.
