The wait is over: the iPhone 6 is here at long, long last

The great and the good of the tech world gathered today at the Flint Center in Cupertino for Apple's launch event, and Stuff is still among them. Here's everything you need to know about the iPhone 6, complete with our first hands-on impressions of the device.

The iPhone 6 is the thinnest iPhone ever made. At just 6.9mm, it makes the 7.6mm iPhone 5s sound positively fat, on paper at least.

Taking a leaf from the iPad design book, the iPhone 6’s overall shape is a lot more organic too. Its softer, rounder edges look as if they’ll feel a lot more comfortable in the hands than the straight, sharp edges of the iPhone 5s.

The power button has thankfully moved to the right hand side for easy access – a welcome change given the overall larger size of the device.

Looking at the release dates of every iphones in the past, I can see Apple love the months of June, July and September and December.

Hands-on impressions

The metal body is really, really nice, and for anyone who’s teetered between small-but-look-how-wonderful-the-apps-are iPhones and big-but-oh-the-apps-are-slightly-less-wonderful Androids, the iPhone 6 in particular will feel like a nice compromise.

It’s very thin and very light, like a small iPad Air. But while the influence of the Air is obvious, there’s a sharp difference between it and the previous iPhone, last year's 5S. Or rather, there's a blunt one: where the 5S is an edgy, chamfered block, the 6 is much softer. Think of an HTC One (M8), but lighter and thinner.
