Apple iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus: Full Specs & Reviews

This year Apple has stuck to two new iPhones: iPhone 6 with a 4.7 inch display and iPhone 6 Plus with a 5.5 inch display. Let's explore both these highly hyped smartphones from specs, features, release dates and everything you want to know.

 

New Curvy Design

These new iPhones possesses a new and a better look compared to their previous versions. Rounded from the sides, bigger and easier to hold. iPhone 6 is 6.9 mm thick, while the thickness of iPhone 6 Plus is 7.1 mm. The body of both the devices is thinner and lighter than iPhone 5.

The measure of iPhone 6 is 5.44 x 2.64 x 0.27 inches (138.1 x 67 x 6.9mm) weighing 4.55 ounces i.e., 129 gm, just a proportional increase.

iPhone 6 Plus measures around 6.22 x 3.06 x 0.34 inches (158.1 x 77.8 x 7.1mm) weighing just 6.07 ounces i.e., 172 gm.

A Larger Display

iPhone 6 comes-up with a retina HD display with a resolution that is twice the resolution of iPhone 5. iPhone 6 holds a resolution of 1334 x 750 (326 pixels per inch), and iPhone 6 Plus has a resolution of 1920 x 1080. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus consists of 2 million and 3 million pixels respectively.

No Sapphire Crystal Glass

It was the biggest disappointment and shock for Apple fans as the much hyped Sapphire Crystal glass was missing from the event. Though Apple mentioned about the new "Ion-strengthened glass", but their was no talk of Sapphire glass even within the official specs.

Enhanced 8-megapixel Camera

The Camera is much improved with twice faster auto-focus, high-end improved sensor, Color changing True Tone flash depending on the surrounding and the panaromic images can go upto 43 megapixels in size. iPhone 6 plus has an extra feature of optical image stabilization.

The front facing camera is still a disappointment as both iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have same 1.2 megapixel front camera providing better face detection and burst mode feature for better selfies.

Video recording is also slightly disappointing as both the iPhones are capable of 1080 pixel video recording at speed of 30 frames per second, 60fps and 120-240fps in slow-motion. It's lacking 4k video recording in the chart as its competitors such as Samsung, LG and Motorola has already served smartphones with 4k video recording.

Introducing NFC (Near-field communication)

Apple has included an NFC feature in its iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, that can allow users to do payments of low priced products directly from the device.

Long-Lasting Battery

It has got a new and improved battery with 11 hours of Wifi browsing and video watching, while iPhone 6 Plus has 14 hours of Wifi browsing and video watching.

64 Bit A8 Chip

Both the iPhones consists of Apple's new A8 chip, built using 2nm fabrication process and has 2 billion transistors which is double than the first generation A7 chip. The company has provided no differentiation between the performances of both the iPhones.

New M8 Co-Processor

There's a new M8 co-processor chip alongside the primary chip to measure the continous motion data without shedding the battery life. As the company announced, the new M8 co-processor is designed for fitness and motion activities, it also includes a new sensor called "Barometer" for measuring the force of air pressure.

LTE for Faster Networking

Both the iPhones has an impeccable 150 Mbps capable LTE, and arguably compatible with around 20 LTE bands at a time. This feature can allow iPhones to work with 4G technology almost anywhere in the world. They will also have a support for VoLTE (Voice over LTE) for providing high-quality voice calls. They also offer an 802.11ac WiFi connectivity similar to iPhone 5S.

Memory Capacity

Finally Apple has provided 128GB solid state memory in both the iPhones, but still there's no place for card slots. The memory ranges from 16/64 and 128GB ditching the 32GB version out.

Amazing iOS 8

Not just iPhone 6, but the device has the most advanced operating system that can let you do things that no one can ever imagine. Now you can control your home devices using the SIRI app, manage health & fitness regime. There will be more innovative apps as the developers access deep into the iOS 8.

People with trusted sources also believe that Apple has indicated plans to move ahead as other major and mediocre companies already have their large screen smartphones in the market.

It has been rumoured this time that Apple is planning to come-up with an idea of a gold iPhone 5S but some Apple fans finds it impossible to believe and simply termed it as another hyped rumour. Let's find out the real behind the rumour.

Though an idea of iPhone 5S with a glittering gold color seems to be impossible to believe, but according to some trusted sources including TechCrunch have confirmed the news that gold will be indeed among the chosen colors for the upcoming handset. There were even some leaked photos of iPhone 5S in gold color and later MG Siegler of TechCrunch confirmed that Apple is planning to come-up with a Gold iPhone 5S.

Rene Ritchie of iMore has also confirmed after checking his own trusted sources that this really appears to be real. According to him, the gold casing seems to be very gaudy or tacky and can be stylish into coming years.

According to the sources of Sieglar, the iPhone 5S is not going to be completely made of gold, but it will have a color that is possibly similar to gold. It was noted that gold is in good demand in markets of China and India, so offering an iPhone 5S in gold color can also boom-up the sales in such markets.
