Macworld Covered the New IPhone 6 & the New apple watch

On Sept. 9, Apple unveiled the two new iPhones: iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, as well as the Apple Watch which will be launched in 2015. The tech news web­site Mac­world cov­ered this news very well. Mac­world brought read­ers the infor­ma­tion they wanted.

Mac­world released three arti­cles about the iPhone 6 and the Apple Watch, John Phillip’s arti­cle cov­ered the infor­ma­tion about the Apple Watch, Antho­ny Doman­i­co wrote the details about the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus. How­ev­er, I pre­ferred the arti­cle writ­ten by Dan Miller  as it sum­ma­rized all the products.

The arti­cle by Miller did not include any videos of the prod­uct, just three pic­tures of the IPhone 6, Apple Watch and Apple Pay.  “As was wide­ly expect­ed ahead of the event, Apple unveiled two new iPhone mod­els. Both sport big­ger screens than the last gen­er­a­tion iPhone 5s: 4.7 inch­es and 5.5 inch­es respec­tive­ly (com­pared with the 5s’s 4‑inch display).”

Dan Miller focused on the changes to the size of the screen and the price of the prod­uct. This arti­cle gave the exact datas to help cus­tomers com­pare the dif­fer­ent mod­els. Also, Miller pro­duced a pho­to gallery to show the price of the iPhone 6.

When scrolling down for more infor­ma­tion, we can see that Miller spent a lot of time pro­vid­ing details of the Apple Watch. In my mind, the Apple Watch is more attrac­tive than iPhone 6. How­ev­er, Miller thought it was not a big sur­prise, ” While the appear­ance of smart­watch was­n’t a huge sur­prise, the new wear­able will sport some intrigu­ing fea­tures when it final­ly ships in ear­ly 2015.” Even Miller was a lit­tle dis­ap­point­ed about the Apple Watch, he still list­ed its fea­tures the apple watch has.

I don’t think the head­line is clear, but I must admit that the title “Sum­ma­ry…” is very use­ful. Many peo­ple do not want to spend so much time read­ing dif­fer­ent news for indi­vid­ual prod­ucts. Read­ers can get all the infor­ma­tion they want just by read­ing one sto­ry. Miller used four sources includ­ing the Apple offi­cial sources to write this news. The sto­ry includes use­ful explana­to­ry details, but because this is a sum­ma­ry, if the read­ers want­ed more infor­ma­tion, they would need to read oth­er relat­ed sto­ries. I was dis­ap­point­ed that there were no videos as I think the videos would be a use­ful way of visu­al­ly explain­ing the sto­ry. The design of the page is a lit­tle messy. Read­ers may be dis­tract­ed by oth­ers adver­tise­ments and articles.

Under the sum­ma­ry, there were some com­ments, it was a way to let peo­ple chat online and tell oth­ers what they think and what they find. Also, the reporter used sev­er­al social medias to pro­mote this infor­ma­tion, such as Face­book and Twit­ter. It is suc­cess­ful to attach every pic­tures to Face­book and Twitter.
