The iPhone 6 Plus operates at a higher resolution than your screen FullHD

Surely if you ask what is the screen resolution of the iPhone 6 Plus, we will you reply quickly than FullHD (1920 × 1080 pixels), as Apple told us in Keynote on 9th September, but what if you we say that the figure is not entirely true?


 One of the things that attract attention when you use an iPhone 6 Plus is that, when making a screenshot, the resulting file does not have the resolution you’d expect, ie 1920 × 1080, but 2208 × 1242 . Something bigger than acknowledged by Apple itself. But do you know why there is this disparity of numbers?


 Taking a little look back, we must remember that Apple had many problems when you change the size of your iPhone 5 screen to 4 “, since many applications needed to be updated to use those black bands leaving the new device. As the Cupertino had not taken into account these developments forced the developers to have to hand tweak all screen elements to fill it completely.


 The development platform did not contemplate then the system was capable of rendering to different sizes using the standard originally designed for smaller screen. That, with the last changes in the platform is possible, and is the reason that the iPhone 6 Plus operates at a higher resolution than shown on your screen. Look a graphic example:

 What is curious is that the size ‘reference’ it has taken Apple to make all other calculations are the first screens of the original iPhone, with its 3.5-inch debuted in 2007 From this measurement, it is possible to make any ‘inflated’ for both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. For the 4.7-inch smartphone screen size is exactly 2x generated from the original, while the iPhone 6 Plus is 3x but must then reduce (downsampling) the generated image to fit on the FullHD panel mounted.


 You might think that it makes little sense to do all that to show lower quality of which is capable of rendering, but as always, under Don money should go stalking. And, surely, screens of 2208 × 1242 drive up the terminal and may not sell at the price already. The problem with doing this is that two processes should not be generated with a display 1 are added: 1, ie, working at the native resolution of the ‘phablet’ and surely subtract power to perform other tasks with greater ease.


 We imagine that Apple has done its homework and has taken account of this overexertion iPhone 6 Plus to put an image on your screen either because we must remember, has the same processor as the iPhone 6 with 4.7 inch screen that works at lower resolution (2x). All this might affect performance? For the benchmark so indicate, which always appears below the other iPhone 6 which, like it or not, could make the ghosts of that iPad 3 with a Retina display that was unable to handle fluently.
