September 10th, 2014 (InsideCostaRica.com) Apple’s electronic ecosystem just got larger with the official launch of two new phones.
The iPhone 6 has a 4.7 inch-display, while the larger iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch display. The phones also have faster processors and longer battery life than previous models. Tech blogger Dan Ackerman said the updated phones may finally reverse the exodus of consumers who have switched from Apple.
“I think there’s a lot of people that got big-screen envy and switched away from Apple towards Android phones with those 5-inch screens, which are really amazing for reading books and looking at your calendar and web-reading. If Apple can get into that category I think there’s a lot of people waiting to switch back,” said Ackerman.
Costa Rica’s major cellular carriers, ICE and Claro, said they expect to be selling the new phones by late November.
Apple also unveiled its new smartwatch, dubbed the “Apple Watch,” during yesterday’s event. It is unknown if, or when, the Apple Watch may hit stores shelves in Costa Rica.
