The iPhone series just got a shot of adrenaline as the new iPhone six and six plus launched to a a massive, record breaking success.The new iPhones have been working out with great sales and have received large scale positive reviews.With the six plus they have aimed at smartphone markets as well as phablet markets.

| Both phones are also expected to have all-metal bodies, in a move away from Samsung's current plastic range, and 5.1-inch screens. |
There was a high demand for an apple phone with a larger screen and the company has finally listened to the needs of the public.
However, this escalation to top that the iPhone is experiencing will soon come to a quick halt as internal sources say that Samsung will soon be releasing their latest flagship phone – the Samsung Galaxy S6. So here is a comparative look we are taking between the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Apple iPhone 6.
The thinner body and round edges of the iPhone six makes it look different from its competition, however the Samsung galaxy Alpha has been launched with a metallic body, which is rare for Samsung phones.
The handsets are also set to include wireless charging capabilities.
There is a high possibility that the new s6 would come with a similar metallic look and feel about it.The new S6 will be coming out with a larger screen than normal and would be having a super AMOLED display and would come with a 4K pixel resolution. It will certainly be better than the s5’s screen. Apple, on the other hand has a full HD 4.7 inch screen.
The S6, much like the iPhone 6 has been expected to come out with an A8 processor based on sixty four bit architecture and would come with a snapdragon 810 processor.
The part where Samsung is expected to score another big win is the battery aspect of it as the battery has been the Achilles heel for the iPhone since a long time now, and while the iphone battery offers only 14 hours or less of talktime, the new s6 is expected to have a double battery life, or at least, 30% greater than that of the s5.
What are your views on this? Let us know.
And now the Korean firm has heavily implied the device - or multiple new devices - will come with wireless charging built-in.
Many current phones need specially-designed cases and accessories to charge wirelessly, but Samsung's next-generation models could add the feature within the handset on a single chip.
In a blog post by Seho Park, principal engineer in Samsung Electronics' IT and mobile division wrote: '2015 will be a landmark year for the growth of wireless charging.
The S6 is expected to look similar to Apple's iPhone 6 handset
It will also include a rumoured 20 megapixel camera
'With our upcoming Galaxy smartphones, users will be able to enter a new wireless world like never before.'
The use of the plural 'smartphones' adds further weight to the fact Samsung will unveil at least two handsets at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in March.
These are expected to be the Samsung Galaxy S6, and the S6 Edge that is rumoured to have a curved screen that covers both sides.
Until now, many phones and other products have predominantly used the 'magnetic-inductive' method of charging.
This involves pairing a device with a dock and is used from phones to electric toothbrushes and shavers.
There are three wireless charging organisations including the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), and its Qi standard, the Power Matters Alliance (PMA) and the Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP).
Samsung is a member of all three groups.
This means that manufacturers have to choose which standard they use, and not every standard is supported across different charging points, for example.
However, last year, components that support multiple standards on a single chip were released and in January, the PMA and A4WP announced they would join forces to offer better wireless charging features.
The S6 won't be the first phone to have wireless charging built in - the Nokia Lumia 920 already offers this feature - but the Lumia 920 runs on the Qi standard.
The concept video shows both handset designs
Samsung's next Galaxy phones are, however, expected to be the first to support multiple standards on a built-in chip.
This means they will be more versatile to take advantage of public charging ports being introduced across retailers such as McDonalds and Starbucks.
It will also beat main rival Apple to introducing the technology.
Samsung surprised audiences at the Berlin-based trade show IFA in September when it unveiled its original curved device.
The screen was described by Samsung's David Park at the event as working like a 'ticker', with notifications and news scrolling along it.
The Galaxy Note Edge's unique curved touchscreen provides quick access to frequently used apps and alerts.
The curved screen displays notifications at the top and bottom, while viewing a video without disruption, for example.
Earlier this month, in the face of stiff competition, and following a consecutive drop in profits, Samsung announced plans to curb the number of phones it makes each year.
Instead of releasing handset after handset and saturating the market with Samsung devices, the firm has decided it needs to concentrate on making fewer handsets, better.
The South Korean manufacturer is also expected to ramp up production of its remaining models so they can be sold more cheaply.
