The American company Apple has just presented the new iPhone 6 , the successor to the previous iPhone 5S . This is one of the two versions of the new iPhone presented during today: the iPhone 6 incorporates a screen of 4.7 inches with a resolution of 1,334 x 750 pixels , while the iPhone 6 Plus (larger version) comes with a screen of 5.5 inches to reach a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels . Next we are going to get to know the iPhone 6 in depth , analyzing both its designas your technical specifications . Let's find out what Apple has in store for us for the final stretch of this year.
Display and layout
The iPhone 6 incorporates a screen LCD of 4.7 inch to reach a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels (with a pixel density of 326 ppi ) accompanied by technology Retina HD . The iPhone 6 screen is made of ion-reinforced glass , which completely disproves the rumors that spoke about the supposed sapphire screen that this smartphone was thought to incorporate. The size of this screen represents a significant growth compared to the four inches of the iPhone 5S, and it is an alternative aimed at all users to whom the 5.5 inches of the iPhone 6 Plus may seem excessive; after all, the largest version of the iPhone 6 is still a phablet- type terminal .
If we delve into the more technical details of the iPhone 6 screen we will see aspects such as that, for example, the maximum brightness reaches 500 cd / m2 or that the contrast is set at 1,400: 1 points. One of the most curious technologies of this screen is that of the double domain pixels , which is designed with the idea of offering a wider viewing angle .
As regards the design of the iPhone 6 , measures of this smartphone reach 67 x 139.1 x 6.9 mm with a weight of 129 grams . Special mention deserves the thickness of this terminal, which is set at 6.9 mm , representing a reduction of 0.7 millimeters compared to the thickness presented by the iPhone 5S . The colors in which the iPhone 6 will be available are black , silver and gold. At the rear we find a main camera whose sensor protrudes slightly above the housing. The sides of the iPhone 6 also present some novelties, and one of the most notable is the position of the unlock button , which is now incorporated into the right side of the terminal (until now it had always been located at the top). The materials with which the iPhone 6 case has been manufactured are still metallic , although they have a much more curved and rounded appearance compared to the previous phones in the iPhone range .
The digital fingerprint reader , the Touch ID , is still located on the Start button , and allows the mobile to be unlocked through the fingerprints registered in the system.
Camera and multimedia
The main camera of the iPhone 6 incorporates a sensor Focus Pixels of eight megapixels with flash dual tone (aimed at improving the lighting of the photographs), with an aperture of f / 2.2 and digital image stabilizer . In addition, this camera also incorporates a phase detection autofocus , which according to Apple has commented is twice as fast as the automatic focus that the main camera of the iPhone 5S incorporated . To these details we also have to add the usual options for face detection , geotagging ,HDR mode , focus on touch and panning mode (which can take photos up to 43 megapixels ). Pictures taken with this camera can achieve a maximum resolution of 3,264 x 2,448 pixels .
As regards video recording, the main camera of the iPhone 6 can record videos with a maximum resolution of 1,080 pixels at a rate of 30 / 60 frames per second , while the video in slow motion are recorded at a rate of 120 / 240 frames per second . Additional video options are summarized in geotagging , threex zoom , face detection and continuous autofocus .
As for the front camera, the sensor built into this secondary camera is 2.1 megapixels and allows video recordings of up to 1,280 x 720 pixels at a rate of 30 frames per second . It also has an aperture of f / 2.2 and a burst option for selfies that, in principle, seems to allow you to choose the best photograph from a burst of self-profile images.
The multimedia formats supported by the iPhone 6 are the following: H.264 , M4V , MP4 , MOV , MPEG-4 and JPEG , in addition to other popular formats related to video, sound and image files. This smartphone is also compatible with video output to 1080p through the adapter Lightning with output AV / VGA .
Power and memory
The processor incorporated inside the iPhone 6 responds to the name of Apple A8 , incorporates the 64-bit structure and presents a size reduced by 13% compared to the A7 processor that the iPhone 5S incorporated at its launch . In fact, following the comparisons between the new A8 processor and the previous A7 , Apple ensures that this new model has a CPU speed 20% faster and a graphics processor with 50% more performance . RAM capacitythat accompanies this processor has not yet been confirmed officially, although everything seems to indicate that it is 1 GigaByte .
The internal storage capacities of the iPhone 6 are established at 16 , 64 and 128 GigaBytes , which means the disappearance of the 32 GigaByte version of internal memory that until now was available in previous phones in the iPhone range . As is usual in smartphones from this manufacturer, there is no microSD slot for internal storage cards, although we can expect some kind of free space in the iCloud cloud storage service . In the case of the iPhone 5S the free space available in iCloudit was set at 5 Gigabytes , so a similar space is to be expected on the iPhone 6 .
Operating system and applications
The operating system installed as standard in the iPhone 6 corresponds to iOS in its most recent version of iOS 8 . It is the newest version of this operating system, and with it come improvements and new options such as a renewed keyboard , a " Family " option (intended to allow content sharing among members of the same family), the application of Health (an application of healthy lifestyles that monitors our activities), among many other changes that make a significant difference compared to iOS 7.1.2 .
Regarding applications installed as standard on the iPhone 6 , the complete list is as follows: Camera , Photos , Health , Messages , Phone , FaceTime , Mail , Music , Passbook , Safari , Maps , Siri , Calendar , iTunes Store , App Store , Notes , Contacts , iBooks , Game Center , Weather ,Reminders , Voice Memo , Clock , Videos , Bag , Calculator , Kiosk , Compass and Podcasts . All these applications can be complemented with any of the thousands of apps available for free in the App Store , Apple's application store .
Connectivity and autonomy
The iPhone 6 incorporates the usual 3G and 4G LTE connectivity , the latter being especially noteworthy since it is an ultra-fast Internet connectivity that allows download speeds of up to 150 Mbps (with upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps ). . In addition, within the section of wireless connections, the iPhone 6 also has WiFi ( 802.11a / b / g / n / ac ), Bluetooth 4.0 , NFC and GPS (assisted and with GLONASS ).
Moreover, as to the physical connectivity of the iPhone 6 include the connector Lightning (which allows both battery charging and file transfer cable), the headphone jack of 3.5 mm and the slot for a card Nano-SIM ( not compatible with Micro-SIM cards ). With regard to motion detectors and other external factors, iPhone 6 incorporates the following sensors: barometer , three-axis gyroscope , accelerometer , proximity sensor andambient light sensor , in addition to the Touch ID fingerprint reader located at the bottom of the terminal.
Apple still has not confirmed the capacity of the battery built into the iPhone 6 , although he has released the official figures of autonomy : up to 14 hours in conversation through the 3G , up to 10 days ( 250 hours ) at rest, approximately 10 hours of Internet browsing , up to 11 hours of video playback and up to 50 hours of audio playback.
Price and availability
The starting price of the iPhone 6 for the US market, after a two-year contract , is set at $ 200 for the 16 GigaByte version of internal storage, $ 300 for the 32 GigaByte version of internal storage and $ 400 for the 128 GigaByte version of internal storage. For the European market the prices of the iPhone 6 are the following:
- 16 GigaBytes version : 700 euros .
- 64 GigaBytes version : 800 euros .
- 128 GigaBytes version : 900 euros .
The iPhone 6 will arrive in Spain on September 26 . The launch of the iPhone 6 is scheduled for the day September 19 in the US , while the rest of the world (a total of 115 countries ) must wait until later this year to receive the arrival of the two versions of the iPhone 6 .
