Apple iPhone 6: Review

Apple meets the expectations for iPhone 6 and provides 4.7 inches display, a new processor and a fresh design.





iPhone 6: Slim, smart and fast


Technically, the two iPhone-6 models differ only in details, the main difference is the screen size. The iPhone 6 has a 4.7-inch Retina touchscreen with a resolution of 1334x750 pixels, the iPhone 6 Plus brings it to a display size of 5.5 inches. Apple uses the brand new A8 processor, which provides up to 20 percent more power compared to its predecessor and with up to 50 percent more graphics. It can also measure the air pressure and so makes the iPhone into a mobile barometer.


iPhone 6: VoLTE and wireless ac


In terms of data transfer Apple puts up a gear and offers cutting-edge standards: The iPhone 6 VoLTE built in, that supports up to 20 different LTE frequencies and significantly better voice quality than was previously possible. Also Wi-Fi is the state of the art; Data transfers run up to three times faster than before.

Apple sets the iPhone 6 to rounded edges and a sleek body.
iPhone 6: Camera


It remains at a resolution of 8 megapixels, but with improved details. Thanks to the new image sensor with a faster focusing and an improved digital image stabilization. Here the big brother can score, because the iPhone 6 Plus has an optical image stabilization. iPhone 6 records video with up to 60 frames per second in Full HD. There is also a slow-motion function which when enabled adds up to 240 images per second. The front camera also has a new sensor and will capture up to 80 percent more light. In addition, Apple donated the "FaceTime Camera", a so-called burst function, with which it quickly takes many pictures one after the other - for example, for the perfect Selfie.

iPhone 6: NFC allows Apple Pay


Another real cracker: With "Pay Apple" iPhone becomes a mobile wallet. Together with the built-in NFC chip payment transactions can be done by just holding the iPhone at this appropriate terminals. It takes less than three seconds.

Playwithtech-assessment: Apple iPhone 6
The design looks classy. The revised lens stands out a few millimeters from the casing. Overall, the iPhone 6 is very good in the hand and feels light in weight. Introduced NFC and a new storage option (128 gigabytes)

Conclusion:


It has a much larger screen, WLAN ac, LTE Cat 4 with 150 Mbps and detailed improvements in the camera - and finally NFC (mainly for payment). However, Apple has definitely missed the trend of the times: Even the new iPhone 6 is missing a waterproof housing. And the price is just too high.
