iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus: Top free apps to boost users' productivity

As the world gets its hands on Apple's latest handsets, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, a wide range of mobile applications have also been made available to further enhance the overall functionality of the iOS 8-powered phones, free of charge.

Aside from having large 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen displays, these phones also come with impressive new features that can be coupled with apps to make the devices reach their maximum potential.

One of the most ideal free apps for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus is the SwiftKey Keyboard as the iOS 8 update has become highly popular for its support for third-party keyboards. While it was already available for Android users over the past years, it has now been developed for Apple devices as well.

The keyboard reportedly works well with the large screens of the new Apple devices with which users can easily select which third-party keyboard they want to use and tap. Moreover, SwiftKey acknowledges one's writing style so it can help predict his or her next word to be used.

Auto-correct and auto-complete has also gotten easier with a single tap. Two languages can be simultaneously used when typing without having to change the settings.

Next, Wdgts has also been recognized for its usefulness in incorporating new widgets to the Notification Center. Featuring five widgets, the app comes with a calculator, calendar, time zone, currency converter and photo frame.

If preferred, users can pay up $0.99 for the Premium Pack to enable them to copy and paste results from the calculator and currency converter. Up to five time zones can be added and users can easily browse between months in the calendar. More widgets are yet to be released.

Another ideal app is Evernote, which is perfect for users who seek to increase their productivity. They can easily create, edit, exchange and keep track of their notes while the latest version for the iPhone 6 handsets makes such content look visually appealing and impressive, thanks to the Retina HD display.

Finally, Wunderlist has been praised for keeping one's tasks highly organized, with its ability to create a wide range of to-do lists and letting users access these through their devices. They can also share these lists and edit them with the help of others, begin conversations about tasks, attach photos, and share work.
