The head of the multi-billion dollar Apple company, Timothy Cook, has finally introduced the world to his new brainchild, whose name is iPhone 6. Contrary to criticism from ill-wishers, the product turned out to be impressive from any point of view. This can be proven by a number of the main characteristics of the iPhone 6.
Case dimensions
At the time of Steve Jobs, Apple phones were produced with a diagonal of no more than 3.5 inches. The old composition of engineers considered such dimensions to be optimal. However, with Tim Cook's rise to power, design trends have changed. Last year, the iPhone 5S series received a 4-inch diagonal case. This was a surprise for all fans of the product. Numerous acclaimed reviews immediately followed, but there were also dissatisfied users who believed that Apple was losing its identity in this way. The dimensions of the iPhone 6 surprised the public even more. Apple's new brainchild received a 4.7-inch diagonal case. The ratio of width and length is standard - almost 1 to 2 (67 by 138 mm). However, the thickness was only 6.9 mm with a net weight of 129 g. Despite the obviously impressive size, the iPhone 6 turned out to be quite compact and comfortable to use with one hand.
The body design has not changed significantly. The main difference from older models was the top frame. It even seems superfluous to the naked eye. As you know, the Apple engineering team prefers symmetry. It's good that at least the side frames have been slightly reduced. In any case, there is a potential for narrowing the model in height and width. Externally, the new model is very similar to the iPod Touch due to the rounded edges of the body and the volume keys. The power button has been moved to the right side. The material of which the case is made is solid metal and high-strength plastic. Externally, the phone looks rustic, and the camera lens is inconveniently pushed forward. The advertised protection against dust and water is absent. But the new model has passed all the tests of independent experts for flexibility and strength.
Screen specifications
Compared to previous models, the new phone has a beautiful stylish display with protective glass and oleophobic coating. When creating, an IPS-matrix was used, which allows you to display an image with additional brightness and natural color reproduction. It is worth noting the maximum viewing angle of the iPhone 6. The diagonal screen size is 12 cm (4.7 inches). The available resolution (pix) is 1334 x 750. We must pay tribute to the engineers for the quality of the display. Previously, iPhones had up to 300 pixels per inch, but now this figure is 326. The display even got its name - RetinaHD. On the other hand, the iPhone 6 has the same screen size as the LG G3, but the latter has much better depth.display (up to 534 ppi vs. 326).
In defense of the phone, we can say that in terms of general characteristics, the display of the new iPhone is confidently in second place after the G3. In addition, scientists have calculated that at a distance of more than 25 cm, the human eye is not able to perceive an increase in the number of pixels greater than 300 per inch.
Performance
In the iPhone 6, the specifications of the package cannot but rejoice. The hardware arsenal of the phone includes a 64-bit A8 series processor with two equal cores that operate at a frequency of 1.4 GHz. Also, the sixth iPhone contains a universal accelerator. It is the motion coprocessor of the M8 series. As for the RAM, by default it is only 1 GB. Despite the notoriously modest specifications, the phone is high-performance. This result is achieved by distributing processor power to a separate functional. This makes the iPhone 6 comparable in performance to the latest 4-core models from LG and Samsung. Highlighting the PowerVR GX6450 series GPU would be nice.
Memory Capabilities
According to this indicator, the phone can be conditionally divided into budget and advanced options. In the economy version, the iPhone 6 has much lower memory specifications. The maximum volume is only 16 GB. The rest of the device will delight fans with built-in memory from 64 to 128 GB. It is worth noting that there is no option with 32 GB. Manufacturers decided to abandon it in favor of more expensive versions.
Unfortunately, the new iPhone also lacks a microSD slot. So there is no need to dream of an additional memory card. Therefore, before buying, you need to decide for yourself which version of the phone to prefer. iPhone 6 with 64 GB of memory became a bestseller.
Camera Features
Before the release of the new model, Apple representatives warned that users should not expect an increase in the number of megapixels. The phone has an 8 MP camera. Like previous versions, the iPhone 6 has dual LED backlighting. It is worth noting the absence of an optical system responsible for image stabilization. Despite the fact that the iPhone 6 is quite impressive in size, the single camera looks stylish and capacious, albeit a little extended. It allows you to get a video picture with a resolution of up to FullHD at a recording speed of 60 fps. Sound is received in mono.
Specialists say that one of the main advantages of the iPhone 6 is high-definition photo and video recording. The camera allows you to record a stream up to 240 fps. in 720p format. There is a slow motion mode. As for the front camera, it has only 1.2 MP.
Interfaces and multimedia
Apple's new product not only supports Bluetooth, GPS and dual-band Wi-Fi, but also NFC wireless networking. In fact, the phone is able to interact with any interfaces, including A2DP and Voice-over-LTE. In addition, iPhone 6 supports Nano-SIM cards. As for the NFC system, so far it is used only for payments, but in the nearimprovements are expected in the future. As in previous models, the sixth iPhone is equipped with the iOS 8 operating system. Its engine is focused on integration with the iTunes service. Therefore, playback of multimedia content taken from a computer may be problematic. The developers of the phone expect that its users will suddenly begin to buy all the music and movies from iTunes.
Internet Features
The iPhone 6 has a built-in browser. Its advantages include speed and ease of use. Reading mode is integrated into the browser, in which all kinds of menus, banners and advertisements are hidden, and only text with pictures remains.
On the other hand, the manufacturers didn't try to scale the page multiple times. If the text is manually greatly enlarged, it will go beyond the display on the sides. The browser supports only a fixed page size, under which the text is pushed. But the device has a 3D graphics accelerator and synchronization with Safari and iCloud.
Battery
The weakest point of a phone is its battery. In terms of battery life, it is significantly inferior to its main competitors. The battery capacity is only 1810 mAh, despite the diagonally increased dimensions. iPhone 6 in call and idle mode lasts about 55 hours. At maximum load, the charge lasts only 400 minutes. Battery life also depends on the brightness of the display and the gadgets that are turned on. The average battery life of the device is up to 45 hours.
Cost of iPhone6
The price of the device depends on its version. The budget option costs about 54 thousand rubles. The package, in addition to the phone itself, includes a USB cable, a power adapter with a power of 5 W and branded headphones of the Apple EarPods series with a built-in microphone and a control panel. The standard version of the device is estimated at 62 thousand rubles. Complete set similar to the budget option.
The above prices apply only to iPhone 6 with 16 GB of integrated memory. If you wish, you can purchase a device with 64 and 128 GB chips, but you will have to pay 8 and 16 thousand rubles more for them, respectively. From additional accessories it is possible to allocate covers-books. The most popular of them is Puro Booklet Case, whose cost is 990 rubles. The price of a protective film depends on the strength and coverage. Bestseller - Deppa glossy film. Its cost is about 300 rubles.
