Apple is preparing for a huge in-store iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus launch day this week, and the company’s secret playbook for September 19 has been made available to 9to5Mac. Apple has already sold more than 4 million iPhone 6 units in the first 24 hours of preorders, and it’s likely it’ll sell even more devices during the phones’ actual in-store launch.

In my two-plus years at BGR, I’ve written about a lot of so-called “first-world problems” — that is, issues that seem like huge burdens to people who live relatively comfortable lifestyles but that are in reality not that big of a deal, particularly when you think about all of the wars, famines and deadly disease outbreaks that kill people every single day.

We’re just a few days out from the official launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, but for many anxious Apple fans, the hours are probably stretching far longer than they would on any other week.

“The best.” I know, I know… who’s to say which Android phone is the best? No two people are alike and different users have different priorities. There are so many factors to consider, it’s obviously impossible to determine the “best” phone for everyone.
But it’s BGR’s job to try.
While we obviously can’t say which phone will be the personal favorite of each and every person out there, we can consider users’ most common needs and wants in an effort to determine which smartphone might be most suited to the widest range of people.
Since we handle so many phones here at BGR, we’re also able to tell you which handsets offer unique and innovative features that other devices do not. More than that, we’re well equipped to say which smartphones’ unique features might be more widely appreciated than others.
It might seem like each and every new flagship Android phone that comes out is automatically the “best” until the next flagship phone comes along, but we can assure you that’s simply not the case. Impressive specs stuffed into a slim housing do not make a smartphone great — the user experience is what makes a smartphone great.
And when it comes to the user experience, no phone we’ve come across can match Motorola’s brand new Moto X.

If there’s one thing Apple’s rivals love to do, it’s bash Apple in marketing and advertisements. Of course, as we’ve seen time and time again, this often doesn’t work out very well for Apple’s rivals. In recent history, Samsung is the only company that has managed to build an Apple-bashing campaign into real commercial success, and it literally took tens of billions of dollars worth of marketing and advertising campaigns to make it happen.
Unfortunately for most of Apple’s rivals, they don’t have tens of billions of dollars to back up their anti-Apple ads.

While Apple never mentions RAM for its iPhones, various reports have already revealed the iPhone 6 will only pack 1GB of RAM – a feature causing warrantless disappointment among some potential buyers – and future teardowns will likely soon confirm Apple new iPhones pack “just” 1GB of RAM. In the meantime, an iPhone 6 Plus screenshot has leaked from Korea and it unsurprisingly reveals the first Apple phablet will also pack the same amount of RAM as the iPhone 6.
