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.
