Apple has just taken its online store down, ahead of the pre-order launch for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Beginning at 12:01 am Pacific Time, or 3:01 am Eastern Time tomorrow, customers will be able to place pre-orders for both of the handsets.
Apple unveiled the 6 and 6 Plus at a major media event on Tuesday, announcing that both models have bigger screens than any other iPhone before them. The iPhone 6 has a 4.7-inch display, and the iPhone 6 Plus has a larger 5.5-inch display.
Other than that, and the fact that the 6 Plus has OIS (optical image stabilization) and a larger battery, both models are near- identical. They both come in Silver, Gold and Spacey Gray colorways, as well as 16GB, 64GB and 128GB storage capacities.
The iPhone 6 starts at $199 for the 16GB model, while the 6 Plus begins at $299 (these prices are with a carrier contract of course). After this, you just add on $100 for each storage level—a 64GB model would cost you $299 and $399, respectively.
