iPhone 6 plus phone parameters. Information about the make, model, and alternative names of the specific device, if available.

iPhone, one of the most iconic products Apple, has changed a lot this year. The one and only, special, original suddenly ceased to be so. Now there are two of them and you will have to choose which one to buy. The task, I will say right away, is not an easy one, and if you think that you will pick up both new products and immediately understand everything, I have to disappoint you - it’s difficult to decide. On the one hand, an iPhone with ideal proportions, on the other, an iPhone for ideal content consumption. Let's try to choose?

Before the full review, watch our short video of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus - short and most important. Enjoy watching:

Design: iPhone 2G is alive!

Appearance of two last generations The iPhone, to put it mildly, has become boring. Yes, the iPhone 5s looks like a jewel with polished edges, but I’ve been wanting something new for a long time. And we know that the new is the well-forgotten old, which is why the iPhone 6 in your hands is so reminiscent of Apple’s first smartphone.

Rounded edges, a solid piece of aluminum and a comfortable fit in the hand. I’m talking now about both models - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, since they are identical in design, the only differences are in size and in some hardware.

The new iPhone could be a real revelation for me, because I've always wanted a true smartphone of the future - a stylish, but no-frills slab of aluminum and glass. This is what the new product would have turned out like if someone in Apple's design department had pulled back Jony Ive when he came up with the design of the antenna module in the iPhone 6. The lines you see on back cover, look mediocre. And using the example of thin and neat stripes on the back cover of the Taiwanese flagship HTC One The M8 is even a bit sloppy and it’s strange. Nevertheless, you can get used to this feature (controversial, by the way, this is a matter of taste).

After two days of use, the iPhone 6 already seems familiar. Eyes are already refusing to look at the 4-inch display, hands are reaching for the thin body and fingers want to run across the glass of the new smartphone again. Its edges are slightly rounded, so the gadget looks and feels like a monolithic piece made of correct materials.

The only caveat is that it is slippery, so I recommend that you think about buying a cover in advance. It seems that Apple accessories are just the thing.

Other noticeable external changes include separate volume control buttons, which are now recessed into the body and can be pressed incredibly clearly. Same shape Power button moved from the top edge to the right side. The thumb of the right hand or the index finger of the left hand rests directly on it. For the first few hours, of course, you continue to fumble around the top edge in search of a button, but over time everything falls into place - this is the only place where you can comfortably reach with your finger and lock/unlock the device.

Regarding the protruding camera module. He didn't bother me at all. Yes, it's noticeable, but the iPhone lies flat on the table and doesn't wobble when you press it on one side. Maybe there is still a minimal, almost imperceptible movement, but in normal use you don’t notice it. I tried to pry at the module with my fingernail, but nothing came of it.

Screens: Steve was wrong


iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s

Immediately after the release of the iPhone 4 (3.5-inch screen), Steve Jobs commented at a press conference on the situation with smartphones equipped with large screens:

It is impossible to control them with your hands, no one will buy them. They're just like Hummer SUVs.

Four years later, his successor Tim Cook introduces two new SUVs. One - with a large screen, the second - with a huge one.

The screens of the new iPhones have been greatly increased in size compared to previous models. This is striking when you pick up the iPhone 6, and probably shocking when the iPhone 6 Plus falls like a shovel on your fingers. The awkward “hmmm-hmm” quickly changes into surprise - the quality of the display and pictures on them are head and shoulders above those of the iPhone 5s.

The display displays colors perfectly, they are natural - not dull or violently burnt, as in Super Amoled screens, which Samsung is actively promoting in Galaxy smartphones. Viewing angles, I think, are the maximum possible. Just imagine that you turn your iPhone towards you, and the text on the screen remains perfectly readable. Yes, thanks to the new polarizer film in the iPhone 6/6 Plus, the display behaves much better in the sun than the iPhone 5s.

With the screen of the iPhone 6 Plus, the situation is exactly the same as with the iPhone 6. If you do not take into account that its dimensions will seem extremely large for the user of the “five”. The iPhone seems very unusual with such a screen and, it seems to me, that’s what Apple intended. This is practically a new device that can “eat” some users iPad mini and launch the process, predicted by many, of turning iPad tablets into full-fledged computers with touch screens.

  • iPhone 6: 4.7 inches, 1334×750 pixels
  • iPhone 6 Plus: 5.5 inches, 1920x1080 pixels

Is a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels enough for a 5.5-inch screen? With your head. And don’t believe those who recommend urgently switching to QuadHD displays, which are already available in some Android smartphones - LG G3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The human eye can only distinguish pixels at up to 300 ppi, while in the iPhone 6 Plus it is as much as 401 pixels per inch. The performance race has never led to anything good. The iPhone against the backdrop of top Android gadgets is a striking example of this.

Iron: simply better

Talk about technical specifications not accepted in the world of Apple mobile devices. Where have you heard users of different generations of iPhones talk about processors? random access memory and, excuse me, overclocking? But you want this, right? Then here is a comparison of two smartphones in the Geekbench iOS application to calculate processor speed:

Yes, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are currently the most powerful smartphones Apple companies that it has ever created. They run on the same new processor Apple generation A8 with a clock speed of only (as for modern world smartphones) 1.4 GHz. Feel free to add the M8 coprocessor here, which helps you clearly count the number of steps taken and calories burned. RAM - 1 GB, same as in iPhone 5s. But was it ever not enough? This isn't a Mac.

What's the result? My overall impression is that iOS 8 runs slightly faster on the iPhone 6/6 Plus than on the iPhone 5s. The difference is very small, literally minimal, but it is there. This is traditional Apple magic when you pick it up new iPhone, after which you no longer want to use the “old” one.

Yes, games load a moment faster, the multitasking menu with thumbnails appears in a second, but this is far from main feature new iPhones. Oh yeah, if you're confused iOS work on a 5.5-inch display with Full resolution HD, I will say that there are no problems. Both smartphones work almost identically, if you do not take into account minor slowdowns in literally a few games (Real Racing, this one is the most). This is an optimization question that developers need to ask. I played Asphalt 8, updated to work with direct access technology to GPU Metal, Modern Combat 5 and the graphics, I admit, were impressive.

Battery: powerful, but lacking in innovation

I’ll be honest, it’s not easy to understand in two days how the batteries behave in new Apple smartphones. No, it's not even possible. I can say one thing for sure - my iPhone 5s, which I have been using for about 8 months, has held its charge several times worse during this time than both new items that were lying next to each other. Yes, the battery in the iPhone 5s could get “tired” during this period of operation, but the fact remains that in the evening my smartphone lay down to rest with 0% charge, while the iPhone 6 had 30% left, and Plus, it seems, was ready to work even before lunch the next day. It had about 55% charge left. Worthy.

The numbers, which can be found on Apple.com, speak for themselves. The iPhone 6 can last 250 hours in standby mode, while the iPhone 6 Plus can last 384 hours in a locked state. The younger model will be able to show you about five films of medium length, the older one - all seven. The indicators are not bad, but not revolutionary. And I would like innovations in mobile batteries, but not this year, unfortunately. Nowadays mobile photography is in fashion and you will definitely like everything here.

Cameras: Where are my megapixels?

There is none of them. More precisely, there are as many of them as in last year’s model. And in the year before last, and even in the iPhone 4S. You were deceived, set up and pushed with outdated hardware at an exorbitant price. You are wrong.

iPhone 6 Plus

Indeed, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have an 8-megapixel camera with an ƒ/2.2 aperture, but with new lenses. One of the most impressive technologies in these cameras is Focus Pixels. This is a phase focusing system that seriously reduces focusing time when the camera moves. The principle of its operation is as follows: you take your iPhone out of your pocket, open the Camera application and begin frantically photographing several objects around you at once, abruptly changing the position of the smartphone. There is no additional focusing, it seems that the camera is reading the image around you immediately after you take out the phone. Forget tap-to-focus—iPhone now does it for you.

iPhone 6 Plus

The quality of the images is at a high level, with a minimum of soapy scenes when photographing indoors, this is truly impressive. This is especially true for the iPhone 6 Plus with its optical system stabilization that can take stunning photos. If you have direct hands, you can create real masterpieces, print them and hang them on the wall.

iPhone 6 Plus

Apple also worked on video quality. The cameras in the two new products can shoot FUllHD video at 60 frames per second, while slow-mo videos can now be made in two formats - 120 and 240 frames per second. Together with cinematic stabilization during video shooting, we get the most desired mobile video camera for a real video maniac.

iPhone 6 Plus Features: mini iPad mini

It’s not for nothing that I said above that the iPhone 6 Plus does not seem like just a new smartphone or the second model of this year. This is something new that may soon affect other Apple devices. For example, on the iPad mini. I sincerely don’t understand why a user needs a small tablet with a 7.9-inch screen when there is an iOS smartphone with a 5.5-inch display that is always in their pocket. It is simply created for consuming content in huge quantities - you want to watch movies, play action games and arcade games, surf the Internet through Safari or, for example, do video editing through the iMovie application. This is the ultimate gadget for active user, which is “on the brink”. That is, it is really huge for a phone, but at the same time it is so convenient during use. In addition, Apple took care of the pioneers and made some changes to iOS 8 that are only available on the iPhone 6 Plus.

First, it's landscape mode, like on the iPad. The desktop, icons, content - everything is in a horizontal position. This feature is activated in Settings -> Display and brightness -> View. Here we select the normal mode, where work in a horizontal position is available by default.

If you select the “Zoom” mode, all icons and text will become slightly larger. It’s promising, but it requires support from developers who optimize their software to work in this mode.

Another point is changes in the location of some interface elements in standard applications. For example, Mail and Messages have dual-screen mode enabled, just like on the iPad. This also includes the supposedly improved keyboard, to which the buttons have been moved quick access to the “Copy, Cut, Paste” functions, but they take some serious getting used to. It feels like the system is not perfected. Either the iPhone 6 Plus was released ahead of schedule, or it was simply overlooked.

Unlike other manufacturers of large smartphones, Apple has done a good job of making them more convenient. While competitors are introducing complex control schemes for large screens into interfaces, Cupertino is simply adding one, but useful function. Double tapping (not pressing) the Home button lowers the entire interface of any application so that you can reach the status bar with one finger. Simple and convenient.

There is also a problem with the display of some applications. No, I didn’t notice any pixels, but the software that looked normal on the iPhone 5s screen now looks strange on the 5.5-inch Godzilla. There is a lot of space on the screen, but the interface elements are stretched and look somehow awkward or even clumsy. I think developers are already aware of this nuance and are already reviewing the interfaces of their programs.

About the not so important: boxes and kit

Please note the changes in appearance boxes from the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Now they are completely white without any pictures, except for the model name on the side. The silhouette of a smartphone is embossed on the lid of the box. It looks unusual and unusual. With the kit, everything is much simpler - inside the box everything is the same as what came with the iPhone 5s: EarPods, Lightning cable, Charger and a bunch of paper materials with a “clip” to open the SIM slot inside.

What to choose?: instead of conclusions


iPhone 6

The iPhone 6 has changed a lot compared to previous models and is undeniably better. The most popular (and therefore the best, right?) smartphone on the planet has become even better, it is already flying off store shelves, it is being bought, recommended, and taken to countries where there is no Apple Store. This is a definite hit for the next 12 months. The screen is finally larger, but the smartphone is still easy to use, an improved camera, an NFC receiver with service support Apple Pay(doesn't work for us) and new design. I don't have a single word against you iPhone purchases 6. Except iPhone 6 Plus.


iPhone 6 Plus

For the first time in the history of the iPhone, we have to choose between two iPhones - a powerful one and a second powerful new product, but with a larger screen. The latter has its own charisma, it attracts with its unusualness and magnificent screen, which in any case will always be with you. It is indeed very difficult to choose, but I can recommend something to you. Don’t even hope to come to the store and make a choice right away - it’s impossible!

iPhone 6 Plus has become the most big smartphone Apple at the time of its appearance on the market. Among its main competitors, the company was almost the last to develop its own phablet model (from the English phone “telephone” and tablet “tablet”). It was assumed that these devices will expand the scope of use of the phone, since their functionality is close to that of tablets. To achieve this goal, the phone needed powerful internal hardware and a wide display. The creators of the iPhone 6 Plus mainly worked on these areas.

iPhone 6 Plus performance

When the new model hit the market, it became Apple's flagship in the phablet segment. But many competitors already had their own examples of similar devices. The main rival of the iPhone 6 Plus on the market has become samsung smartphone Galaxy Note 4, with which they compared new Apple product in numerous articles and video reviews. At that time, in many technical characteristics, functionality and performance, the newly released smartphone was inferior to the Galaxy Note 4. True, loyal fans of the company are more inclined to compare Apple products with each other than with the products of its competitors. From this point of view, the phablet was an undoubted achievement and was enthusiastically received by users.

The performance increase was achieved in the new smartphone using different technical means, namely:

  • A system that controls the temperature and frequency of the processor, which ensures high performance even if the phone gets hot;
  • Increased chip speed;
  • Higher process technology in the new Apple A8 processor.

Otherwise, the processor characteristics remained virtually unchanged, which might seem strange if the device was positioned as a “small tablet.” The A8 processor remained dual-core; a simple coprocessor was added to it to perform not very important tasks, which reduced energy costs. When using standard applications and simple programs, the phone works quite quickly, nothing freezes. But games on this smartphone model and heavy programs can slow down.

Such problems, to some extent, in the first months of the smartphone’s existence could be associated with the imperfection of the iOS 8 operating system. In newer ones iOS versions There are fewer freezes. Unfortunately, application developers are not very actively interacting with this yet. operating system. Not all programs can be run on Apple products, since the creators of many of them do not adapt them to the company's operating system.

RAM also has not increased compared to the previous model (its volume is 1 GB; most competitors at the time of the device’s release started at 3 GB). As a result, 6th generation Apple smartphones turned out to be not always ready for implementation complex functions, although for use as a regular iPhone, as its predecessors were, it has become more convenient. In addition, this is the first generation of smartphones that support the contactless payment system Apple Pay.

iPhone 6 Plus Screen Specifications

Most of the innovations in the new iPhone concerned the display. Screen size is one of the main characteristics of the iPhone 6 Plus that attracted the attention of buyers. Sales in the first days were record high.

Externally, the iPhone 6 Plus, compared to the latest iPhone 5S model at that time, looks almost the same, with the exception of the size and more rounded corners. The design differences between both smartphones are minimal. The phone still looked very restrained, strict and at the same time stylish.

The thickness parameter has increased slightly (during the presentation of the device they tried to smooth it out with the help of lighting, which caused a small scandal). The diagonal of the iPhone 6 Plus was 5.5 inches, which became a record for Apple (the screen size of the iPhone 6 released along with it was also increased compared to the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5 to 4.7 inches).

The size of the device, in addition to its positive aspects, also had disadvantages: for example, using a smartphone with one hand due to the smooth surface and big size display became not very convenient. This problem was partly solved by the fact that when you press it twice quickly, the display seemed to slide down so that you could reach the functions and applications located at the top. In addition to the display diagonal, we can highlight the following screen characteristics that distinguish the iPhone 6 Plus:

  • RetinaHD display resolution is 1920 x 1080. This parameter has not undergone any significant changes, and some of Apple's competitors have phablets with a higher screen resolution.
  • Display brightness – up to 500 cd/m2.
  • Viewing angles – at any angle and lighting, the image is clearly readable, remains bright and clear.

In general, there are practically no complaints about the display characteristics of the new smartphone. To use the phone for any purpose, this screen resolution should be enough so that the user does not feel discomfort when reading, watching videos and images.

Other characteristics

Among the advantages of the phablet one can also note good battery, which is enough for a whole day of active use. If you use your phone moderately, it may be enough to fully charge the battery once every two days.

The smartphone's camera has also become the cause of some dissatisfaction among users, since despite the already rather large dimensions of the device, it protrudes slightly above the body. In everyday use this is not too noticeable. There are no fundamental differences from previous generations in its technical characteristics. New is the optical image stabilization function.

It made it possible to compensate for the effect of hand tremors when taking photographs. With the help of optical stabilization, the picture is clear. The camera module supports the ability to shoot 1080p video at 30 and 60 frames per second. There are several shooting modes, including slow motion. When photographing in normal mode, auto-tuning works quite well.

If you're wondering if the iPhone 6 Plus is worth buying, given that there are later ones iPhone models 6S Plus and iPhone 6S, first decide on the purpose of using the device. We can say that if there are no increased requirements for the performance and power of a smartphone, then if desired, you can take advantage of the relatively low price. Subsequent versions differ favorably in that they practically do not slow down when working with complex applications and programs and are much more functional.

iPhone Review 6 Plus – specifications, photos


Having used the iPhone 6 since its release last year, I recently traveled to the British Isles. He took with him the iPhone 6 Plus, which he had previously neglected, and discovered a lot of new things. His experience is interesting for those who are disappointed in the regular “six” and are thinking about replacing it, as well as for those who still have an iPhone 5/5s and have not decided which model to upgrade to.

Arment used an iPhone 6, but when traveling he needed a phone without a carrier to use with a local SIM card, so he had to choose between old iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 Plus, purchased for testing applications. He didn't want to be left with an inferior camera and a smaller battery, so he chose the iPhone 6 Plus. The following is a story from Marco's perspective.

What the iPhone 6 Plus is good at

  • Autonomy. In my use case I got an increase in time battery life by about 50-75%, compared to the iPhone 6, which had to be charged around noon, after which the charge lasted until the end of the day even with heavy use.
  • Camera. Optical stabilization effect iPhone images The 6 Plus is almost invisible when shooting outdoors, but makes its presence felt indoors, allowing you to lower ISO and, as a result, reduce noise.
  • Entering text. The keyboard's portrait size allows you to type faster and with far fewer errors than on the iPhone 6.
  • Screen size. Larger screen for reading books, browsing the web and photos. Not such a big benefit for me, given the current poor optimization of applications for such screens.

All of these factors combine to make the iPhone 6 Plus a surprisingly good travel smartphone. A capacious battery allows you to use GPS and mobile Internet as much as you want. Active use also promotes good camera, motivating you to take more pictures and send them to your friends.

During the entire trip, I never once regretted that I did not take my iPad with me, despite the fact that this did not affect my productivity in any way - I successfully solved all the problems that arose with using iPhone 6 Plus.

How the iPhone 6 Plus is neutral

After using the regular “six”, the iPhone 6 Plus no longer seems as huge as it did immediately after switching from the 4-inch iPhone 5/5s. After just a few hours he no longer seemed big to me.

THE ONLY NEW - EVERYTHING IS NEW

As soon as you start using iPhone 6s Plus, you'll immediately feel how much things have changed. 3D Touch technology opens up exciting new possibilities - just one click away. And the Live Photos feature literally brings your memories to life. And this is just the beginning. Take a closer look at iPhone 6s Plus and you'll see innovation on every level.

OUTSTANDING DESIGN. A NEW STEP FORWARD

Innovation isn't always obvious, but if you take a closer look at iPhone 6s Plus, you'll see fundamental changes. The body is made from a new alloy based on 7000 series aluminum, which is used in the aerospace industry. Glass iPhone display The 6s Plus is stronger than any other smartphone glass. And now a new color option is available: silver, gold and " gray space"hull added" pink gold".

NEW GENERATION MULTITOUCH

IPhone 6s Plus offers fundamentally new way interaction with your phone - for the first time in its history, iPhone can distinguish how hard you press the display. In addition to the familiar Multi-Touch gestures of tapping, swiping, pinching and pinching, 3D Touch technology allows you to use Peek and Pop functions. For example, if you lightly click on an email, the Peek function will show a preview. And if you press harder, the Pop function will open it. And this is a completely new dimension in working with iPhone. Moreover, when using 3D Touch iPhone Provides tactile feedback so you not only see the results of your actions, but also feel the intensity of each press.

MORE STUNNING DETAILS IN EVERY PIXEL

Everyone loves taking photos with their iPhone. In fact, it is the most popular camera in the world. Therefore, its capabilities have now been expanded. The 12 MP iSight main camera captures clear, detailed images and captures stunning 4K video at nearly four times the resolution of 1080p HD video. A 5 MP front-camera allows you to take great selfies. Plus, you now have the ability to take Live Photos that literally bring your most cherished memories to life. This feature records several moments before and after taking a photo, allowing you to view it in motion with one click.

LIVE PHOTOS. ONE TOUCH EXTENDS THE MOMENT

This is a completely new word in photography. The Live Photos feature is not limited to one static frame, but captures a moment in motion. Click on a Live Photo and you'll see a loved one smiling, a wave crashing onto the shore, or a dog wagging its tail. Set a Live Photo on your lock screen and tap it to make the image come to life. You can choose any of your Live Photos as your wallpaper, or use a dynamic wallpaper.

RETINA FLASH. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL IN ANY ANGLE

The HD Retina display is more than just your iPhone's screen. This is also a flash for the front FaceTime HD camera. When taking a selfie, the pre-flash detects the light level and then fires the True Tone Flash on the display to optimally complement the ambient light. As a result, you get a beautiful photo with realistic color reproduction and natural skin tone. Retina Flash is based on innovative technology: Special processor increases screen brightness three times compared to normal state. So you can smile with confidence. iPhone 6s Plus is always ready to shoot.

DIRECTOR'S DEBUT IN 4K

A9. THE MOST ADVANCED SMARTPHONE PROCESSOR

IPhone 6s Plus is equipped with a custom-designed A9 processor with 64-bit architecture. Its performance now reaches levels previously only demonstrated by desktop computers. Speed iPhone processor 6s Plus is up to 70% faster than previous generation models, and the GPU is 90% faster, delivering instant response in demanding apps and games.

M9. DESIGNED TO BE EFFECTIVE

The M9 motion coprocessor is built directly into the A9 processor. Get more done and work longer with incredible performance and battery power. The M9 interfaces with an accelerometer, compass, gyroscope and barometer to enhance fitness data collection capabilities. With iPhone 6s Plus, you can measure not only your steps and distance traveled, but also your running, walking and climbing speeds. The M9 processor is exceptionally sharp and efficient - which is why, in particular, Siri is always on and ready to receive voice commands. To activate it, just say: “Hey Siri.”

IMPROVED SECURITY. ONE TOUCH IS ENOUGH

Touch ID uses the latest fingerprint sensor to easily lock and unlock your phone. The Touch ID sensor remains as reliable as before, but is now even faster. It can be used to sign in and confirm purchases in apps that support this technology.

4G LTE AND WI-FI SPEED IS HIGHER
