APPLE’S IPHONE 6: BIGGER AND FASTER (PART II)

DISPLAY

The first impression of iPhone 6’s screen is absolutely larger, its size is 4.7 inches, compared to 4 inches of iPhone 5S or 3.5 inches of first generations. The change of screen’s size is a big change in Apple’s opinion. Former Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, said he believe that a 3.5 inches screen is the most suitable, it is large enough to read news or do usual tasks you want your smartphones do, but it is also small enough to hold on your hand or put it into your pocket. But many things changed, people tend to use smartphone longer, replace personal computer, laptop… by smartphone, so they need a larger screen to help them feel convenient when they use smartphone for a long time. Apple fulfills user’s requirement by a larger screen for iPhone 6. Although iPhone 6’s screen is larger but Apple increased the resolution to guarantee the screen displays well, the resolution is 1334 x 750 pixels with 326 ppi. Apple has some technologies to make its screen can display better than others though its resolution seems to be lower than other smartphones, example Nexus 5 has a 5.5 inches screen with 445 ppi, but iPhone 6 displays sharper and more beautiful, the colours are natural and bright. iPhone 6’s screen also has a LED – backlit IPS panel helps it still can display very clearly though you use it outdoor.


PERFORMANCE   
iPhone 6 has a new SoC, Apple A8, with a dual – core 1.4GHz inside it. This SoC is very strong because it is 64bit processor compared to 32bit processor of other smartphones, it means iPhone 6 can run very fast and it can fulfill 4GB Ram or more. Apple shows us a graph which compare iPhone 6’s performance to its predecessors, it is really impressive

With other test, iPhone 6 proved its strength, it has 1627 point if it runs single core and 2924 point if it runs multi core with GeekBench 3 test, iPhone 6’s performance  is better than HTC One M8 (869 point with single core and 2409 with muti core) or Samsung Galaxy S5 (949 point with single core). If you need a beautiful and strong performance smartphone with a preeminent operating system, iPhone 6 is an excellent choice.

BATTERY
iPhone 6’s battery is 1810mAh, it is the same with iPhone 5S’s battery but you should not worry about it, although iPhone 6 has a larger screen, but it has new SoC, Apple A8, the power is used more efficient. iPhone 6 can play videos in about 13 hours, it is enough to view 9 standard movies, if you use it for the tasks that consume less power, iPhone 6 can be ran longer.

APPLE’S IPHONE 6: BIGGER AND FASTER (PART I)

Apple recently released a new generation of iPhone, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus. This release is one of the most expected events in 2014. From the first generation was released in 2007, each year, Apple has introduced a new generation and all of it had created a big bang, a blockbuster of the year. The latest generation (iPhone 6 and 6 plus) marks a newly important change of Apple about the screen’s size, instead of using standard 3.5 inches screens as previous generations, Apple equipped bigger screens for iPhone 6 (4.7 inches) and iPhone 6 plus (5.5 inches). In this article, I focus on reviewing iPhone 6, the phone which I think many people will buy it because its screen is large enough to bring and fits with usual demands (iPhone 6 plus is too large, maybe it fits with women more than men because women usually wear big bags and they can put a big thing like iPhone 6 plus into their bags).

DESIGN
Design is one of strongest point of Apple, its products are very beautiful and iPhone 6 is not an exception. As Apple’s other products, iPhone 6 is designed very carefully, when you look at an iPhone 6, you will feel it is really charm. iPhone 6 is little thinner than iPhone 5S but the larger screen will make you feel it is thinner than iPhone 5S very much, it is also very light, weights only 129 gram, compared to 112 gram of iPhone 5S, it means iPhone 6 is 17 gram heavier than iPhone 5, but do not forget iPhone 6 is 20% larger than iPhone 5S. This point shows us Apple’s endeavour to make a bigger smartphone but its weight must be acceptable. So you can comfortably hold iPhone 6 without any tiring.

The corners of iPhone 6’s sides are curved, it helps customers can hold iPhone 6 easier although it is large. It also has a metal case making it robust and reliable. Because of bigger size, Apple changed power button’s position from on top of 5S to right side of iPhone 6 to help user press it more convenient.
Apple offers 3 colours Gold, Space Grey and Silver for iPhone 6 instead of standard black and white on previous iPhones, but I think these colours are suitable with iPhone 6’s new design and it is very elegant.

CAMERA

Apple has never participated any megapixels – racing of cellphone’s camera, but Apple’s cameras on their products like iPhone or iPad are always respected because pictures or videos have been taken by Apple’s products have high quality and very beautiful. iPhone 6’s camera is the same, it just has a 8 megapixels camera, f/2.2 lens and 1/3 sensor with 1.5 micrometer pixels but it has a new sensor and Focus Pixels, this addition helps it is faster and more accurate when it focus on a perspective, so you can exactly take pictures as you want, the picture’s quality will be better. Video’s quality is very good, of course you can not compare it to professional camera, but it is better than other smartphone’s cameras.
