Apple kicked off its event today by removing the wraps off the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The two have joined the phablet category now.

The new iPhones see curved edges, and the design is beautiful. It is also thinner than before, with the iPhone 6 measuring 6.9mm while the Plus at 7.1mm.

The new phones are powered by Apple's A8 chip, offering up to 25% faster processing power and 50% faster graphics. It is basically 50 times faster than the original iPhone.
