The main difference between the new Apple smartphone from previous versions is the new design and larger screen size. True, these are far from the only changes that have affected the iPhone 6, they also occurred in other, less obvious aspects.
Every year Apple releases a new model of the iPhone smartphone. The iPhone 6 version is already the eighth model in the line of Apple smartphones. The next launch of sales of the updated version attracts close attention of consumers from all over the world, but this time in particular, because in comparison with the previous integration (iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s), much larger changes have taken place.
Apple presented two models of the new generation at once - just an iPhone 6 with a 4, 7-inch matrix and a phablet (something between a standard smartphone and a tablet) iPhone 6 Plus with an even larger screen - 5.5 inches in combination with an updated operating system iOS 8.
Packaging and delivery set
The packaging design this time is minimalistic - the contents of the box are depicted in the form of a relief outline of the smartphone (after all, everyone already knows what is inside).
As for the package, it has not changed in any way compared to the iPhone 5 and 5s and still includes a 5W charger, a meter Lightning cable and Ear Pods.
Design and functional features
The main difference between the Apple iPhone 6 is a larger screen compared to previous models, so all design innovations stem from this fact. Instead of the 4-inch display used in the iPhone 5 and 5s, a 4.7-inch matrix is now used. At first glance, the resolution seems somewhat strange - it does not correspond to any of the available HD formats - 1334x750. However, if you take into account the pixel density, then everything becomes clear - it, as in previous models, is 326 pixels per square inch. Apple has once again decided not to change the density so that developers of third-party applications can easily adapt them to the new display size, while maintaining the same level of graphics. In addition, enlarging the display allowed an additional row of icons to be placed on the iOS desktop.
For those who appreciated Apple smartphones for their compact dimensions, the developers have provided a compensating function - Reachability. It allows you to slide the screen down by half the height so that the user can control the device with the finger of one hand, in which he holds the smartphone. You can activate this option by double-tapping the button of the main menu (just touching, not pressing). By itself, the "home" button did not become touch-sensitive - in this case, the sensor is a special ring located around the button.
True, the main inconvenience of using the new iPhone 6 is not so much the length of the fingers, but the need to constantly balance the device in the hand - due to the flat surface and smoothed shapes, the smartphone strives to jump out of the hand. However, this problem can be easily solved with the help of a branded case, which provides a more secure grip. In any case, if you compare the iPhone 6 with flagship Android smartphones, then its size seems to be quite moderate.
In the new version of the smartphone, Apple has decided to get rid of the rectangular shapes characteristic of the iPhone 5. For a mobile device of this size, this is a perfectly justified decision, otherwise the body would seem too bulky. Despite its impressive dimensions, the iPhone 6 smartphone looks quite neat due to smoothed corners and smooth transitions.
The iPhone 6 case is made of aluminum and is an all-metal "box". Where the iPhone 5 had glass inserts, there are now metal parts, separated from the main body by plastic strips.
The device has become thinner: the width of the iPhone 5 is 7, 6 mm, while the iPhone 6 this figure is 6, 9 mm. Despite the seemingly insignificant difference, the iPhone 6 feels much thinner in the hands, and if you take into account the large size of the crane, it gained very little weight - the iPhone 6 weighs only 129 grams (iPhone 5 weighs 112 grams). It was possible to reduce the thickness of the Apple smartphone due to the protrusion of the front camera above the surface of the body. However, this build-up does not spoil the phone's appearance at all.
Performance
The new iPhone 6 has an advanced system based on the Apple A8 chip that increases smartphone performance by 25%. This means apps and games will launch and run much faster. In addition, the graphics processor has been updated, so the graphics in games are simply amazing with their high definition.
Display
In terms of brightness, the new iPhone 6 is slightly inferior to its predecessor, but, nevertheless, the display of the device is bright enough to use it without problems in sunlight. The screen contrast is also high.
Autonomy
The iPhone 6 has a more powerful battery under the back cover compared to the previous generation models: 1810 mAh versus 1570 mAh. However, if you compare it with the flagships of competing companies, then this is quite a bit. So, if you set the brightness to maximum, then the battery charge of the iPhone 6 will not even be enough to cover the results typical for the iPhone 5 and 5s. Flagship Android smartphones last almost twice as long, although their displays are not as bright.
Camera
The main camera in the iPhone 6, as in the previous version of Apple, is an 8MP sensor and f / 2.2 aperture. However, along with this, the new smartphone differs in a number of significant changes, the main of which is the PDAF autofocus used in SLR cameras. This makes the pictures taken with the iPhone 6 look much brighter and more vibrant compared to the pictures taken with the flagship of competitors.
Barometer
The new version of Apple's smartphone has a built-in sensor - a barometer, which makes various fitness applications smarter. So, he will be able to count the number of steps taken or, say, determine when the owner of the phone is going up the stairs or up the hill, and by updating the M8 coprocessor, the iPhone 6 is able to recognize even the type of physical activity.
Apple Pay
Apple Pay is a payment system developed by Apple. Now, using NFC, you can enter the data of a plastic card into a smartphone and make purchases in stores by placing your iPhone on the payment terminal and holding your finger on the “home” button. In online stores, it is also planned to connect the Apple Pay payment system soon.
Price
The cost of new smartphones from Apple on the Russian market is quite acceptable. Prices for the iPhone 6 with a 4.7-inch display range from 32-42 thousand rubles, and the iPhone 6 Plus with a 5.5-inch matrix will cost the buyer 37-47 thousand rubles.
