IPhone 6

The iPhone 6 is a smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It was announced along with the larger iPhone 6 Plus as the latest addition to the iPhone series. It was released on September 19, 2014. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus jointly serve as successors to the iPhone 5C and 5S, and were succeeded by the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
==Description==
The iPhone 6 includes a number of physical changes over its predecessor, including a larger 4.7-inch (120mm) retina IPS display with a resolution of 750 x 1334 pixels and 326 ppi. Overall, this iPhone is significantly larger than the previous models. Since it's larger than the iPhone 5s, it has a larger battery capacity with 1810 mAh. Apple announced that this was the thinnest iPhone to date with a thickness of 6.9 mm.
This iPhone has a 64-bit Apple A8 processor with 1GB of RAM. It is also the first iPhone to have a 128GB storage option and also the last to have 1GB RAM. The iPhone was shipped with iOS 8 installed, and the phone can be updated to the latest version of iOS 12.5.7. The storage options it came with are 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB.
The Touch ID sensor on this iPhone is the 1st generation of Touch. This was replaced by the faster 2nd generation Touch ID sensor that was used on the iPhone 6s.
It has an 8 MP rear camera that can record up to 1080p full HD video with 30 fps or 60 fps. The camera is not flush with the back of the device, and it's protruding out a slight bit.
== Issues ==
The section right below the volume down button was very fragile, and could bend easily. Users who put their iPhone 6/6 Plus in their back pocket reported having a bent device when taken out. The issue was dubbed as "Bendgate". This was a prominent issue on the 6 Plus because of the greater size of the phone. Bendgate went viral across the internet, and Apple was scolded for their poor build quality. This however was fixed with the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus with the stronger Aluminum 7000 series.
Although it looks like that you could very easily bend the device, you'd actually have to apply a lot of pressure to the frame in order to bend it. Overall, bendgate is overexaggerated by the media since it sounded like it was very easy to bend this phone. The bending issue does not affect the device's performance.
==Release==
Pre-orders of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus exceeded four million within its first 24 hours of availability—an Apple record. More than 10 million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices were sold in the first three days, making it another fastest selling iPhone model at that time. The iPhone 6 is the top selling iPhone model with more than 222 million units sold since release. 
On September 9, 2015, the gold version 128GB model of the iPhone 6 was discontinued along with the iPhone 6 Plus. The 16 GB and 64 GB models in silver and space gray were available for sale at a reduced price at the release of the iPhone 6S. This phone was regarded as a mid-tier phone at the time. The last remaining model is the 32 GB iPhone 6 model that was discontinued in 2018. Since the iPhone 6 was so popular, it was re-sold in various phone carrier stores, and online.
