Its official, or rather, is official. The rumors were not wrong and Apple yesterday introduced two new models of iPhone 6. On the one hand we have the iPhone 6 Normal, whose screen has been increased to 4.7 inches diagonally, a significant change from the previous model. On the other hand the iPhone 6 Plus fits into the category of phablet or tablephone, with a panel of 5.5 inches. This is the main difference, but is it the only one? We see then.
Display and Design
The screen is the protagonist in the new iPhone 6, size to be exact. Apple defended swashbuckling screen four inches as the iPhone 5 was the perfect device to handle the size of a hand, remember that ad in which the thumb is moved to the opposite end of the screen. However, the market has made it clear that the big screens have many advantages, and this is reflected in the sales figures of teams like the Samsung Galaxy Note Android or any high-end, whose panels are around five inches. Finally in Cupertino have given budge, succumbing to the growing demand for mobile big screen .
The iPhone 6 features a 4.7-inch IPS screen diagonally balanced size that offers good visual experience without sacrificing functionality. The resolution of the screen is 1334 x 750 pixels and its concentration remains at 326 dots per inch, which already knew the standard dubbed Retina. In the case of the iPhone 6 Plus are facing a screen increases to 5.5 inches diagonal, so we can consider a phablet fledged, a category in which we could not imagine Apple. The panel model is wider HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) and concentrated 401 dots per inch. Both screens have a brightness of 500 nits, have improved the vision angle and feature reinforced glass ions anything sapphire as had been rumored. We also emphasize the zoom function of the screens, a thoughtful feature so we can handle with one hand easily.
The design is another highlight, is that the new iPhone 6 look aluminum housing brand new. Have been removed pieces of glass at the rear, replacing plastic strips is where the antenna is housed. Its shape is much more rounded, with edges that remind us of the iPod Touch, but the iPad mini and iPad Air. The glass covering the screen is also curved at the edges so that it is better integrated with the chassis aluminum. Apple has continued to focus on thinness and lightness, two interesting aspects to the management and convenience in transportation, but affect the battery, since its capacity is less, but we’ll see later. The iPhone 6 has a thickness of 6.7 millimeters and weighs 129 grams, pretty tight for a device with 4.7 inch screen. Meanwhile the iPhone 6 Plus has a profile of 7.8 mm and weighs 172 grams. Both will go on sale in silver, gold or dark gray.
Camera and Multimedia
Those who were expecting a higher resolution camera have been disappointed, is that Apple is still committed by an eight-megapixel sensor resolution , but yes, improved . At this point it should be remembered that only affect megapixel image size, not quality. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus come with a five-element lens, aperture f / 2.2, infrared filter, and a sapphire plate that protects it. Besides its sensor is backlit to capture more light and its pixels are bigger s. Apple debuts a baptized system as Focus Pixels that succeeds in making the approach is twice as fast. Another key point is the image stabilizer, and here comes another difference. The iPhone 6 features a digital stabilizer, while the iPhone 6 Plus features optical image stabilization, a system that measures and counteracts the tremor dampening the camera module in full. Both come with other features such as panoramic mode, improved face detection, HDR, geotagging or timer. Paragraph of the video is also improved, and while still recording in FullHD, it is now possible to make videos in slow motion at 120 or 240 frames per second, said soon. The slow motion effect is much more pronounced and it is possible to do time-lapse videos. The front camera has 1.2 megapixels, the sensor is BSI and the lens has the same opening the rear.
The media profile has not changed from previous editions. The list of formats supported is still the same, have Internet radio allow dictate and record voice, see the covers of the albums, doubling the screen with AirPlay or set the volume level manually. Both models have the EarPod headphones with noise cancellation.
Power, memory and operating system
No differences in this section. Both teams are members of the same processor Apple A8 , as we knew, has 64-bit architecture. Yet this is all that the company has offered no details about how many cores leads, the clock frequency or memory RAM. Yes that indicated that the CPU is 20% faster than the Apple A7 and the graphics chip doubles the power of the previous model.
The internal memory is coming in three modes, but it is striking that have eliminated the 32 Gb. Available options are 16 Gb, 64 Gb and 128 Gb. As always, none of them has MicroSD card slot.
The operating system is also the same, ie, iOS in August. The latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system has many interesting improvements, especially in the face of developers who will now have more freedom. For example they start arriving keyboards third or applications that leverage the TouchID fingerprint sensor, which by the way is included in both models. It also has new features such as continuity, enabling us to continue the work we were doing in any of our Apple devices, including iPad or Mac computers. They also have the application of Health which is complemented by the new Apple Watch, the voice assistant Siri system, multitasking, Notification Center, Control Center and features already familiar from other previous installments.
Connectivity and autonomy
Large screens are not the only point that Apple has given the connections also had a new feature that had resisted, and is the chip NFC. This short-range technology has been implemented for the new system Apple Pay, with which you can make mobile payments as is now possible with systems like Google Wallet. Both iPhone 6 with the usual connections, including wireless networks mobile 3G or 4G , WiFi dual band antenna GPS-Glonass, option to create WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, proprietary connector Lightning and 3.5 mm mini jack for headphones . They also include a fingerprint sensor on the start button, barometer, three-axis gyroscope, sensor proximity sensor and ambient light.
As mentioned earlier, Apple gives more importance to the thinness and lightness of the design rather than the battery capacity. The new iPhone 6 autonomy have not increased significantly as expected. The term of rest will be 10 days for the iPhone 6 and 16 days for the iPhone 6 Plus. When you look at the data in use also see that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus surpasses them all, logical and which has a wider chassis and therefore the battery is also wider. We’re talking about 10 to 11 hours of battery life for surfing the Internet with the iPhone 6 and 12 hours with the iPhone 6 Plus, it is not a very large difference.
Reviews
Apple offers its new smartphone in two flavors, one with a size large but unobtrusive display and one for users who want to primarily visual experience. Beyond the screen the differences between them are minimal, most notably the battery and optical stabilizer iPhone 6 Plus. New smartphones mark a new stage in Apple, where the company enters the competition of the screens large and also of wearables with Apple Watch , but not in the megapixels , with a camera that is still at eight megapixels, but improves sensor and lens. Overall the new iPhone 6 is a required update and thoughtful but still have the same old problem, and is the price.
