We've collected some of those big tips in the video below. There are more tips here, and in the videos that follow.

The iPhone 6 display isn't bigger than the iPhone 5, at 4.7 or 5.5 inches. It's also better. Apple took pains to explain which its new 'Retina HD' screen has better contrast, wider viewing angles and - in the case of the Plus - a better resolution than the previous models. Read more here to find out exactly what's changed.

Display Zoom is a new feature for the larger iPhone 6 which lets you decide whether to show more apps on the screen, or zoom in and show them bigger in the same configuration as on the iPhone 5 and 5S.

The new iPhone 6 Plus has a landscape more for its homescreen, letting you use it more like an iPad if you're so inclined. Some key apps like Mail have also been redesigned to let you be "more productive", Apple says.

"Metal" is a new games performance engine designed to build console-quality games on an iPhone. Apple says "Metal is optimized to allow the CPU and GPU to work together to deliver detailed graphics and complex visual effects. So every imaginary world you visit will feel much more realistic.". The upshot is that if you have an A8 processor, games will look amazing.
