All you need to know about this past week in Tech

So this week was very interesting in Tech. Here is a roundup of events this week.

So we start with the big News from Apple. The company held a  product launch event  on 9th of September, 2014 at Cupertino, California where the company announced the launch of three major products and services. The Apple watch, iPhone (6 and 6 plus) and the Apple pay service. This was obviously a welcome News as Apple share jumped the net day with investors expressing satisfaction with the announcements. This did not come without a glitch as the live stream facility of the company went off and on frequently.  Please refer to https://www.techbooky.com/post-title/here-are-the-key-differences-between-the-iphone-6-and-the-iphone-6-plus to read more about the iPhone launch.
