The iPhone 6 and Apple Watch launch as it happened

10.46 - We're now taking a look at how Apple is going to replace the credit card. It's hammering the credit card for being old and antiquated. This could be the big, exciting thing Apple has been hinting at for a while.

Apple is here to solve the problem, apparently. It's created an entirely new payment process: Apple Pay.

10.26 - Next up is the M8 coprocessor - it's been upgraded to be able to track your runs and even how many flights of stairs you've climbed in a day.

Nike+ app is going to be updated to make use - here's hoping that loads of people start to develop apps for that.

Also, Wi-Fi calling and voice over LTE are integrated, with T-Mobile in the US and EE in the UK working to make it happen.

10.24 - Now we're hearing about battery life - the iPhone 6 is 25% better than the iPhone 5S, and the iPhone Plus 100%. That's going to excite a lot of people.

We also just saw the new demo from Super Evil Megacorp, highlighting how the new iOS 8 Metal architecture makes gaming look so great. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus could be the best gaming phones out there... I just wish the 1080p screen was on both.

10.19 - If you're worried about apps, don't: they're auto scale up, but obviously app developers can code for the new landscape mode, such as CNN.

Apple's putting the new A8 chip in both phones as well, which it reckons can maintain performance of 100% without needing to throttle performance.

It's a 64-bit second gen chip - with loads of transistors. LOADS of them.
