Iphone 6 release date and design

As became obvious with the iPhone 5c, you can trust that somebody, somewhere in Apple's supply chain, will take it upon himself to provide an early glimpse into the new iPhone. That certainly is the case with the upcoming iPhone 6, a device that has been suggested (to put it mildly) to come sporting a much larger, 4.7-inch screen. What's more, we've had quite a few leaks that seem to do dovetail on one particular aspect of the iPhone 6: design. 

At this point in time, it appears that different splinters of information agree on the exterior of the iPhone 6, which reminds a whole lot of the iPod Touch, the iPhone 5c, and even the new design language of the iPad Air and new iPad mini. In other words, the many dummies and schematics we've seen pop online so far, paint a more rounded design, and a noticeably slimmer body, which is rumored to measure in at anything from 5.58mm (0.22'') up to 6.1mm (0.24''). Regardless of which of these two extremes we take for granted, we're still talking about a significant slimming down when compared with the iPhone 5s (7.6mm, or 0.3''). As for the overall dimensions, one of several schematics that have been leaked suggests a 138 x 67 mm (5.4 x 2.6 in) config, and the rest don't really deviate significantly from those numbers. That's quite the (expected) growth compared with the iPhone 5s' dimensions of 123.8 x 58.6 (4.87 x 2.31 in).

And yet, despite these changes, what we've seen of the supposed iPhone 6 still is an iPhone at heart, and it actually completes Apple's design circle across all its iDevices. We still have the two distinct horizontal lines at the top and bottom when looking at the rear. and up front -- we've seen no significant changes. The latest leaks suggest that the Touch ID fingerprint scanner will go through a small design upgrade, and come with a more pronounced chrome encasing this time around. In fact, one particular dummy that came to our attention had a surprisingly well-matching yellow edge surrounding the sensor. Another rather major difference is the new placement of the power button, which seems to have found itself a new home at the right side of the iPhone 6 -- a change that makes a whole lot of sense, seeing as reaching for the top of a larger device can be quite the nuisance. Lastly, and this is one of the least-likely rumors we've come across so far, it has been suggested that the new iPhone could be water-resistant. That would be quite a big deal for a number of people, especially now that resistance to the elements has seemingly become such a strong selling point.

Honda TypE r 2015 picz

we know it’s targeting an output in excess of 276bhp and 400Nm of torque from the Type R’s 2.0-litre turbocharged engine.
Previous Honda Civic Type R models have used the unique VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) engine, which uses different camshaft profiles to produce extra power when it's needed. This new model should be quicker and more efficient than before, thanks to the new turbo engine, but the character of the car will be different this time around.
We expect the car to go from 0-62mph in around six seconds, but still be able to manage about 40mpg. That's in contrast to the previous model's 31mpg economy. The old model had a firm ride, too, which we hope will be improved in this new model.
As is traditional, the Type R will be sold in a limited palette, including the Championship White launch colour. However, the concept is painted bright red with gold flakes. Says Hasegawa-san: “This shows that despite the car’s outrageous looks, it’s very professional. It highlights the flared wings, and how the standard car’s creases are retained and integrated into the new look.”
The Type R will be sold in a number of versions, catering both for drivers who want a more hardcore model and those who’d like to use it every day.
Hasegawa-san adds that a Civic Type R Tourer isn’t out of the question, with the same engine but a toned-down look. Yet that would depend on demand – especially from the UK, where the car will be built and where most of the latest hot Hondas are likely to be sold.
