Sizes of iPhone 6. iPhone 6: specifications, prices, photos

The head of the multibillion-dollar Apple Timothy Cook has finally presented to the world his new offspring, whose name is iPhone 6. Contrary to criticism of ill-wishers, the product has turned out impressive from any point of view. In the evidence of this, there are a number of main characteristics of the iPhone 6.

Body Dimensions

In the time of Steve Jobs, Apple phones were manufactured with a diagonal of no more than 3.5 inches. The old staff of engineers considered such dimensions optimal. However, with the advent of Tim Cook, the design trends have changed. Last year, the iPhone 5S received a 4-inch diagonal. This for all fans of the product was a surprise. Immediately followed by numerous thanksgiving reviews, but there were also dissatisfied users who believed that Apple thus lost its identity.

The size of the iPhone 6 surprised the public even more. A new brainchild Apple received a diagonal of 4.7 inches. 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 its impressive size, the iPhone 6 was rather compact and convenient to use with one hand. The design of the case has not undergone significant changes. The main difference from older models is the upper frame. She even seems to be unnecessary even with the naked eye. As you know, the team of Apple engineers prefers symmetry. It's good that at least the side frames have been slightly reduced. In any case, the potential for narrowing the model in height and width is available. The external characteristics of the new model is very similar to the iPod Touch due to rounding the edges of the case and volume keys. The power button is moved to the right side.

The material from which the body is made is a solid metal and a high-strength plastic. Externally, the phone looks a bit rustic, and the camera lens is inconveniently pushed forward. Anticipated protection against dust and water is absent. But the new model passed all tests of independent experts for flexibility and strength.

Screen Features

Compared with previous models, the new phone has a beautiful stylish display with a protective glass and oleophobic coating. When creating, an IPS-matrix was used, which allows to display the image with additional brightness and natural color rendition. It is worth noting and the maximum viewing angle of the iPhone 6.

The screen size on the diagonal is 12 cm (4.7 inches). The available resolution (pix) is 1334 x 750. It is necessary to pay tribute to the engineers and for the quality of the display. Earlier iPhones had up to 300 pixels per inch, 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 LG G3, but the latter has a much better display depth (up to 534 ppi versus 326). In defense of the phone, we can say that, by common characteristics, the display of the new iPhone is surely 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

The iPhone 6 features bundle can not but rejoice. The phone's hardware arsenal includes a 64-bit processor series A8 with two equal-core cores, which operate at a frequency of 1.4 GHz. Also, the sixth iPhone contains a universal accelerator. As it is the coprocessor of the M8 series. As for RAM, by default it is only 1 GB.

Despite the known modest characteristics, the phone is high-performance. Such a result is achieved by allocating processor powers to a separate functional. Thanks to this, the iPhone 6 is comparable in speed with the latest 4-core models of LG and Samsung brands.

It will not be superfluous to allocate the graphic processor PowerVR of series GX6450.

Memory Features

According to this indicator, the phone can be conditionally divided into budget and extended versions. In the economy version of the iPhone 6 memory characteristics are much lower. The maximum amount is only 16 GB. Otherwise, the device will please 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 to please more expensive versions. Unfortunately, the new iPhone also lacks a slot for microSD. So there is no need to dream about an additional memory card. Therefore, before buying you need to decide for yourself which version of the phone to give preference. The hit of sales was the iPhone 6 with a memory capacity of 64 GB.

Camera Features

Before the release of the new model, Apple representatives warned that users should not wait for the 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 size of the iPhone 6 is quite impressive, the only camera looks stylish and capacious, albeit a little advanced. It allows you to get a video image with a resolution of up to FullHD at a recording speed of 60 fps. The sound is received in mono mode. Experts argue that one of the main advantages of the iPhone 6 - high-definition photo and video. The camera allows you to record a stream of up to 240 fps. In the format 720p. There is a slow-motion mode.

As for the front camera, it has only 1.2 MP.

Interfaces and Multimedia

The new Apple product supports not only Bluetooth, GPS and 2-band Wi-Fi, but also a wireless NFC network. In fact, the phone is able to interact with any interfaces, including those with A2DP and Voice-over-LTE. In addition, the iPhone 6 supports Nano-SIM cards. As for the NFC system, while it is used only for payments, but improvements are expected in the near 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, with the reproduction of multimedia materials taken from a computer, problems may arise. The developers of the phone expect that its users will start buying all the music and movies with iTunes.

Internet Features

The iPhone 6 has a built-in browser. Its advantages include speed and ease of use. The browser has integrated reading mode, which hides all kinds of menus, banners and ads, and only text with pictures remains. On the other hand, manufacturers did not try to do multiple page scaling. If the text is manually increased greatly, it will go beyond the display on the sides. The browser supports only a fixed page size, under which the text fits. But in the device appeared accelerator 3D-graphics and synchronization with Safari and iCloud.

Battery

The weakest part of the phone is its battery. By the duration of autonomous work, it is much inferior to the main competitors.

The battery capacity is only 1810 mAh, despite the diagonally enlarged dimensions. IPhone 6 in the mode of calls and idle time is about 55 hours. With a maximum charge, the charge is only 400 minutes.

Battery life also depends on the brightness of the display and the included gadgets. The average battery life of the device is up to 45 hours.

The cost of iPhone 6

The price of the device depends on its version. Budget option is about 54 thousand rubles. In addition to the phone itself, the kit includes a USB cable, a power adapter with a power of 5 W and branded earphones 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. The package is similar to the budget variant. The above prices apply only to the iPhone 6 with integrated memory of 16 GB. If you want, you can buy a device with 64 and 128 GB chips, but they will have to pay more for 8 and 16 thousand rubles, respectively.

Of the additional accessories can be identified book covers. The most popular of them is the Puro Booklet Case, whose cost is 990 rubles.

The price of the protective film depends on the strength and coverage. Hit of sales - glossy film Deppa. Its cost is about 300 rubles.
