Apple Unveils 'Supersize' iPhone 6 And Watch

Apple has lifted the lid on bigger iPhone 6 models, with screen sizes of 
up to 5.5 inches, and also unveiled its first watch.
Powered by the A8 processor, the new phones are a significant upgrade 
from the outgoing flagship, the iPhone 5S, which has a 4-inch screen.
The watch - called simply Apple Watch - is customisable in "millions" of 
ways and comes in different colours.
The company says it is a comprehensive health and fitness device, which 
also has many of the same features as a smartphone.

Among the features of the new iPhones are a better sensor and autofocus 
for the camera, a barometer, and a landscape mode.
A HD FaceTime camera also promises improved face detection for "killer 
selfies".
A new payment process called Apple Pay was also announced.
It uses fingerprint Touch ID for security and stores payment information 
"securely" on a NFC chip.
Apple claims the feature is more secure than keeping cards in a wallet.
Chatter about the handsets' vital statistics had been circulating for 
months on technology websites and blogs, and many were proved right as 
Apple boss Tim Cook stepped on stage for the big reveal.
The handsets go on sale in the US and eight other countries on September
19.
Apple had been under pressure to make a bigger iPhone after rivals 
outgunned it in the size stakes with handsets like Samsung's Galaxy S5 
and the HTC One M8.
