IPhone 6: colors. The colors of the new iPhone 6: review, reviews

Apple released the 6th version of the legendary iPhone mobile gadget. It is produced in two versions (A1549 and A1586). In addition, there is a "tablet" iPhone 6 Plus (also two models - A1522 and A1524). Both devices, of course, belong to the premium category. How much does the iPhone 6 cost? Depending on the specific national market (as well as the dealer), its price is about 30-34 thousand rubles.

What is the difference between models?

What, in fact, do the models differ in one class of device? Consider each of the two modifications. The model A1549 and A1586 are actually the same thing. As well as A1522 and A1524 (modification Plus). Just the first index is accepted for sales mainly in the US. This model is equipped with a charger for an "American" outlet, very different from the Russian, so if we bought the iPhone A1549, then most likely you will have to purchase an additional adapter for the power adapter. But it is quite inexpensive.

In turn, the model A1586 is realized mainly in Europe. Its main technological feature is the support of 20 bands within the standard LTE (while the "American" version is able to work only with 16). As a rule, the option that is sold in the US, is cheaper.

Practically the same patterns are seen when comparing A1522 and A1524. The first supports slightly less LTE bands and is equipped with a charger, adapted to the sockets that are used in the US. In the user environment there is an erroneous version that the iPhone in the "American" version does not work well with Russian mobile operators. This is absolutely not so, - experts emphasize. "IPhone" is adapted to stable operation with almost all mobile operators in the world, and in all existing communication standards, including the most modern, LTE.

What's in the box

In the factory box, the user will find the iPhone 6 itself, a proprietary EarPods type, a power adapter, a wire for USB communication, and a tool for easily removing a SIM card from the gadget. Provided and the user manual.

Design, appearance

The "iPhone" of the 6th version is available in three shades - dark gray, golden, and also silver. The body of the device is made of aluminum, its construction is monolithic. The antenna elements are seen behind and at the sides. The main camera slightly protrudes from the body line. Below the screen is the "Home" key. Above the display is an additional camera, as well as a voice speaker. Screen coating - high-quality oleophobic glass.

The power button of the device is located on the right side (while in many other models of "iPhone" it is on top). On the left there are keys for turning on the sound and adjusting its level. At the bottom - USB-Lightning connector. The nanoSIM format card is inserted into the connector located on the right side of the case. Dimensions of the device: 138,1x67x6,9 mm.

As befits devaysam its lineup, the appearance of "iPhone" delivers gadget premium. As recognized by experts and users, the design of the smartphone is performed at the highest level. Keep the device nice, enjoy comfortable. Particularly impress the owners of balanced, emphasizing the sophistication of every bend of the case of iPhone 6, color.

The design of the device is evaluated by users and experts only in a positive way. The enthusiasts of the iOS-line devices respond about the new design approaches implemented in the iPhone 6-th version, very positively. However, this kind of mood, as experts say, is quite typical for evaluating devices under the Apple brand. "Apple" gadgets are famous primarily for high quality design and assembly.

Screen

The display of the gadget is high-tech, made by IPS technology. The diagonal is 4.7 inches. The resolution is high - 1334 by 750 pixels. There is LED-backlighting. In the Apple classification, the screen installed on the iPhone 6 is called Retina. Through the system settings, you can adjust the brightness of the display, the size of the program elements. Experts and users celebrate the highest quality of the screen.

The image is perfectly viewed from any angle. A large diagonal, experts say, expands the multimedia capabilities of the device: watching videos, web pages and pictures is very comfortable. The iPhone 6 color display transmits very natural, saturated. Pixelization, as the owners note, is almost invisible.

Capabilities

"Iron" installed in the device, as well as in other devices of the line "Aiphonov", assumes the highest performance. All four models of the smartphone under the brand name iPhone 6 (the differences between them are small - mainly they consist in the size of the built-in memory, but more on that later) support the latest communication technologies in 2G, 3G and 4G-standards. All versions support communication via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4-th version, as well as a modern NFC module. There is support for multimedia formats AAC (traditional for "iPhone"), MP3, AAX, AIFF, ALAC, and also WAV.

A powerful processor is a key factor in the high performance of the iPhone 6. The technical characteristics of the device, which we mentioned above, are considered by many experts to be of secondary importance to the role played by the dual-core, 64-bit Apple A8 chip operating at 1.3 GHz. The processor is complemented by the M8 module, which controls the accelerometer integrated into the smartphone (accelerometer), the gyro, and also the compass. Graphic subsystem "iPhone" runs on the GX6650 chip. There is support for GPS, GLONASS.

Software

Selection of the hardware components of the iPhone 6, the technical characteristics of the device probably would not have expected high performance without high-quality software stuffing. This is in the gadget, and this is the operating system iOS in the 8th version. The quality of the software, according to experts and users, is the highest. Despite the fact that the smartphone has only 1 GB of RAM, no braking and hangs in the work.

Moving between windows is very smooth, applications run quickly. As such, the level of performance of the iPhone 6 fully matches the user's tasks assigned to the device.

Camera

Above we wrote that the screen installed on the iPhone 6 predetermines great comfort in viewing multimedia content. Probably, this possibility would be incomplete without a quality camera. This hardware component has decent characteristics. Resolution - 8 megapixels, in the optical system 5 lenses. There is a system focus mode. According to many experts, the quality of the 6 photos made with the Apple iPhone is comparable to that of the photos from a specialized camera.

Battery

The battery of the smartphone, as stated by the manufacturer, provides about 14 hours of battery life in talk mode. If the device is not used actively, then it will work without recharging for about 10 days. In the video playback mode, the smartphone will function for about 11 hours, while playing music - about fifty. Experts who reviewed the iPhone 6 on the fact of testing the battery capabilities, have, in general, achieved comparable results.

Memory resources

"IPhones" traditionally have large amounts of built-in flash memory. True, Apple gives individual models within the same line with different indicators for this resource. For iPhone 6, the differences are quite significant. Depending on the specific version of the device, 16 GB of flash memory, 64 or 128 can be installed. At the same time, not every smartphone of competing platforms can boast at least the same 16 GB, not to mention the more impressive volumes of the resource.

Modification Plus

Our review of the iPhone 6 would be incomplete without examining the characteristics of one of the main modifications of the phone. It's about iPhone 6 Plus. This, of course, is not the "Chinese" iPhone 6, it is a full-fledged branded version. What are the distinguishing features of this device in comparison with the flagship model? The key feature of the iPhone 6 Plus is that, by its classification, it belongs to gadgets such as "tablet". That is a kind of hybrid between the smartphone and tablet (which is expressed primarily in the dimensions of the "plus" version of the iPhone 6: the body of the device is noticeably larger than the flagship version - 158x78x7.1 mm).

IPhone 6 Plus: Features

Consider the technical characteristics of the iPhone 6 Plus in comparison with those, but typical for the flagship model. The "tablet" from Apple is equipped with exactly the same processor as the "smartphone" - Apple A8 with 2 cores, 65-bit architecture and clock speed of 1.4 GHz. The microcircuit for the compass, the accelerometer (and also the gyroscope) is the same - M8. The graphics accelerator is similar - GX 6650. The amount of RAM is 1 GB. Modifications, depending on the size of flash memory, are absolutely the same - 16 GB, 64 or 128. What are the communication capabilities of the iPhone 6 Plus? The device is equipped with modules for communication via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC. There is support for GPS and GLONASS, as well as iBeacon - branded service of the site. We see that with regard to the "hardware", both devices are almost identical. The technologies used by Apple, as always, are advanced for the market. No "Chinese" iPhone 6, according to experts, is not able to replace the original part of the "hardware" and performance.

IPhone 6 Plus: Display and Camera

Consider the features of two multimedia components, traditionally located in the category of the most popular: the camera and the screen. The smartphone is equipped with a display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches, a resolution of 1920 by 1080 points (and that, and the other indicator, as we see, is much more than the "classic" iPhone 6). Colors are transmitted through IPS technology, as well as on the flagship.

The camera is the same 8 megapixels. There is optical stabilization. Made with the "plus" version of the Apple iPhone 6 photos are as good as when using the flagship gadget. The standard camera of the device also allows you to record excellent movies in HD-format and at a speed of up to 60 frames / second.

Comparison of iPhone 6 Plus with competitors

Many experts believe that the release of the "tablet" is an ambitious move by Apple, which decided to compete with other platforms not only in the segment of classic mobile devices - smartphones (via iPhone) and tablets (producing iPad), but also in the field of hybrid solutions. In what way does the iPhone 6 Plus win, and in what way does it compete with the competitors of the Android line?

Many experts call the main rival of the iPhone 6 in the mobile device market the Samsung Galaxy Note gadget in the 4th version. What are the technical characteristics of the main competitor "iPhone"?

Korean smartphone has advantages in terms of diagonal display - 5.7 inches. Also, the device from Samsung has a slightly higher density of pixels - 515 (against 401 in "iPhone"). The main and additional Galaxy Note camera outperforms the similar hardware component of the iPhone by resolution (16 and 3.7 megapixels from the "Korean").

But does the fact that "iPhone" is inferior to the nearest competitor on the Android platform by the majority of technical characteristics is important? The opinions of experts on this issue diverge (however, this state of affairs has been observed for many years). Some experts are sure: the main thing is not "megahertz" and "megapixels", but the balance of technologies, the level of interaction of electronic components. Suppose, they think, the processor and other microcircuits do not work so fast, but if they are stable - then such a device, in fact, is more productive than its competitor with nominally more impressive parameters. The platform from Apple is famous primarily for the balance of hardware, for compatibility with various hardware components. And because the fact that the "iPhone" is inferior in performance to competitors on the Android-platform, by and large, does not mean anything, - many experts are sure. "Apple" devices have won the market, they believe, largely due to the stability of the work. And also stylish design and convenient management. "IPhone" in the 6th version is not an exception.

User Reviews

What do the owners of iPhone 6 say after using the gadget? In the user environment, which is expected, positive evaluations of new items from Apple prevail. Technological characteristics, by the way, are not discussed so often (and this can once again be stressed by the fact that their role, from the point of view of the market success of the "Aiphonov", is secondary). Typically, user estimates relate to the design of the gadget, its functions. But both are highly valued by the owners of the iPhone 6. The colors of the device, presented in various modifications, like everyone. Designers users are mostly praised.

By the way, as many owners of the gadget admit in their reviews, they were not very interested in how much an iPhone 6 costs. According to them, they are ready to overpay for a combination of high performance guaranteed by the brand (and, most importantly, stability), excellent design and Prestige. Even if for some separate parameters, "iPhone" nominally inferior to competitors on other platforms.
