All current iPhone models (iPhone 5 and later) have an 8-megapixel iSight camera but this does not mean that all the cameras are the same. Both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus feature new Apple technology, like Focus Pixels, and other improvements. For example, the iPhone 6 has improved Panorama and face detection and the iPhone 6 Plus has Optical image stabilization, which is not found on the iPhone 5, 5s or iPhone 6.

Apple will begin accepting iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-orders online starting at 12:01 am PT (2:01 am CT / 3:01 am ET) tonight. Customers will be able to pre-order both iPhone 6 models from Apple.com, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile.
The iPhone 6 is $199 for the 16GB model, $299 for 64GB model and $399 for 128GB model with a new two-year contract from AT&T, Verizon Wireless and Sprint. AT&T Next 12 customers can get the 16GB model for $32.50 per month, the 64GB model for $37.50 per month or the 128GB model for $42.50 per month.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus do not have a projected keyboard, all keyed input takes place on the capacitive touch display glass.
Rumors of Apple integrating a projected virtual keyboard into its iOS devices are not new. Similar laser keyboard products such as the Magic Cube have been on the market for some time. Virtual keys are projected on a flat desktop, making input possible by tapping directly on the surface.
No, while the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have almost identical iSight cameras, what sets them apart is Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). The iPhone 6 does not ship with OIS. You will have to pay $100 more for the iPhone 6 Plus if you want Optical Image Stabilization.
Rumors of Apple adding a pico projector or portable digital light projector (DLP) to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have not come true. The iPhone 6 does not feature a built-in display projector of any kind.
Apple iOS users looking for a portable projector can find third-party accessories to do the job. Some manufacturers offer iPhone cases with a built-in DLP.
