The flagship solution that other market participants are guided by is the iPhone 6s. Reviews speak of its flawless hardware and software parameters. Is this really so - the answer will be given in this material.
Who is this device for?
Any "apple" smartphone is a major event in the world of gadgets. The iPhone 6s was no exception in this regard. Its price has not changed much compared to its predecessor. And the appearance of the device remained almost the same. But the filling of this "smart" phone has improved significantly compared to the parameters of the previous generation. Otherwise, this smartphone boasts a rich bundle and is of the greatest interest to the most demanding users. But at the same time, its cost is appropriate.
Gadget design
The last two generations of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S are almost identical in terms of design. They come in a non-separable metal case. Their front panel is protected by ION-X impact-resistant glass. Behind it is a 4.7-inch display matrix made using IPS technology. The only control button is displayed below, in whichbuilt-in fingerprint sensor. On the right side there is a SIM card slot and a gadget lock button. And on its left side are the volume controls and the button to switch to silent mode. On the underside of the device is a spoken microphone, lightning ports and a 3.5 mm audio port. On the back of the smartphone is the main camera (it protrudes from the back cover) and its dual LED backlight. There are four body color options for this device: silver and gray are complemented by the familiar iPhone 6s Gold and a new pink color.
Processor
Of course, the Apple A9 processor solution of this gadget cannot boast of impressive technical parameters. It has a total of 2 64-bit compute modules, which can be overclocked to 1.8 GHz under the heaviest load. Against the background of "Snapdragon 810" with two computing clusters, each of which includes four computing cores, its parameters look really modest. But, on the other hand, do not forget that this is an Apple iPhone 6s. A distinctive feature of this platform is a high degree of optimization. If in the case of the Android software, a lot of unused software is often running on the device in the background, then here the CPU resources are used more rationally. All unnecessary stops immediately. Therefore, any software will run on this gadget without any problems, including the most demanding one. At the same time, this pattern will continue for the next two years. That is, the owners of this smartphone worry about the lackproductivity in the near future is certainly not necessary. What can not be said about the flagship solutions of the competing platform - Android. Here, changes occur much more frequently, and problems with a lack of computing power are already felt a year after the purchase of a flagship solution from any manufacturer.
Graphics
This smartphone uses PowerVR GT7600 as graphics solution. This graphics card was jointly developed by Apple and Imagination Technologies. This is the most productive graphic solution, which, in terms of its capabilities, leaves its direct competitors - Adreno 430 and Mali-T760MP8 - far behind. And even now, six months after the start of sales, the situation in the segment of mobile graphics accelerators has not changed and ZhT7600 continues to be the sole leader. As a result, any application of the iOS platform will run without problems for another 2 years on this generation of iPhone.
Another plus of the gadget: display
This device cannot boast of some sky-high resolution like 4K. But, on the other hand, what's the point in these 4K? Even the "HD" resolution does not allow the ordinary eye to distinguish a single pixel on a screen diagonal of 4.7 inches. And here the diagonal is still the same 4.7 inches, but the resolution is slightly better - 1334x750. The screen matrix itself is made using IPS technology, which guarantees excellent color reproduction and brightness. Also, the combination of a resolution of 1334x750 and the manufacturing technology of the IPS matrix can significantly improvegadget autonomy indicators. The manufacturer did not forget about the protection of the front panel in the iPhone 6s. A review of the technical specifications of this smartphone model indicates the presence of ION-X tempered glass. It should also be noted separately the proprietary technology "3D Touch". Its essence lies in the fact that the smartphone can determine the degree of pressure on the touch screen and, depending on this, execute completely different commands.
Memory
In terms of the amount of installed memory, all Apple smartphones lag behind competing platforms. If today's Android flagships can boast of having 4 GB of RAM, then here's just 2 GB of RAM in the iPhone 6s. Reviews highlight the fact that this is quite enough for comfortable and smooth operation of the device. The key feature here is the optimization of the software, which allows more efficient use of device resources. There is no separate slot for installing an external drive in this device. But the capacity of the built-in drive can be 16, 64 or 128 GB. Given the lack of the possibility of increasing the volume, it is better to immediately buy a device with the required amount of internal memory.
Cameras
It seems like a modest sensor - 12 megapixels - underlies the main camera of the iPhone 6s. Comparison with direct competitors, alas, confirms this. But the optical system of this camera, as well as software filters, allow you to get photos that are superior in quality to sensors with a much larger number of megapixels. Also in this device, autofocus technology is implemented and there isdouble flash. Video here can be recorded in 2160p format with a refresh rate of 30 frames per second. The front camera has a 5 megapixel sensor and this allows you to use it to get flawless selfies. Well, she also does an excellent job with her second task - making video calls.
Battery and its capabilities
Modest built-in battery capacity of 1715 mAh in the iPhone 6s. A review of the parameters of the Android flagships is another confirmation of this. But, on the other hand, you need to understand that the iOS system can boast of high optimization. Add to this a processor solution that is very economical in terms of battery consumption, a relatively small display resolution and an energy-efficient screen matrix, and we get 14 hours of continuous operation in the most intensive mode of use. Well, with a decrease in load, you can rightly count on 2-3 days of work. But something more in this case will be difficult to achieve.
Soft
Apple iPhone 6s right out of the box, running the most recent version of the operating system - iOS 9. It was developed by the manufacturer specifically for the announcement of this gadget. All the hardware resources of this device are perfectly matched to this software and, as a rule, there are no problems during operation. This operating system is perfectly compatible with all existing software on this platform and, as a result, everything runs on this device.
Reviews
Only positively characterizeiPhone 6s owners. Reviews highlight its improved performance, excellent camera quality, impeccable autonomy. In general, Apple has turned out to be another masterpiece of a mobile gadget that will not leave anyone indifferent. Separately, it is also worth highlighting the color options for this phone. Now the iPhone 6s Gold has become familiar, and its place was taken by a pink version, which is primarily aimed at a female audience.
Gadget price
The cost at the start of sales of the iPhone 6s gadget was definitely sky-high. The price of the basic version of the smartphone started at $ 1,300. More advanced modifications, with 64 GB and 128 GB, were priced at $1,500 and $1,700 respectively. But now the price has dropped. The most modest version of the "apple" smartphone can be purchased for $ 800. Well, modifications with 64 GB and 128 GB can now be bought for 920 and 1050 dollars. On the one hand, these prices are really high. But don't forget that this is Apple (overpaying for the brand!), and besides, the level of quality is really high here.
Results
The iPhone 6s is just perfect and flawless. Feedback from satisfied owners of this device confirms this once again. Apple has taken another evolutionary step and released another great smartphone. This is a great gadget that definitely has no weaknesses and which all other manufacturers are guided by. Also, a copy of the iPhone 6s based on Android has already appeared on sale. Her parameters are more modest, she has a wholea number of shortcomings. From the original device, only the design remained in it. So be careful when buying.
