iPhone 6: in the pursuit of long-smartphone
Apple again encroach on conventional ideas about what should be the iPhone. She presented on September 9 iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus with noticeably larger than in previous models. "To Lenta.ru" scanned the first look iPhone 6 and compared it to its predecessor.
Two years ago, Apple for the first time to grow up your smartphone, releasing the iPhone 5, and the network immediately went to joke about the meter 20-second versions. Apparently, Cupertino is perceived as an endorsement and two generations later again ventured out to increase the size of the screen. Bold move was approved by users who have set a record for the number of iPhone, ordered during the day since the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus online stores - 4 million pieces. We checked how far iPhone 6 left from its predecessor - and the outside and the inside.
design
iPhone 6 is different from the iPhone 5S as "flat» iOS 7 of filled skvemorfizmom iOS 6. There is no doubt that the devices belong to the same manufacturer, but if you do not treat them with five meters, and hold in their hands, it is noticeable that Apple has changed the attitude of not only to the design of its operating system.
Dry statistics says that the new smartphone is longer and wider, but thinner than its predecessor. However, we can not say that to keep it simple convenient. He felt quite differently in the hand, the sharp edges are gone, replaced by a flat side rounded, instead of escaping round volume buttons oblong, hardly protruding from the case.
The answer to all the exciting question: yes, the camera sticks. This is especially noticeable when the smartphone is on the table, they can beat the Morse code, as it is based on just two points: a camera and an opposite bottom edge (as we have demonstrated in the video).
On the back side of the plastic inserts with antennas turned into narrow stripes. At the touch of now all seems to cover the metal. Again, we can not say whether this is good or bad - just in new ways. And judging by the pre-order record, Apple fans will have to assure that this is the most correct design
New sensory experience
Grade has not changed, except for the smartphone in the box charger cable with Lighting and headphones. Rediscover your headphones, like iPhone 5S, buy Beat has not affected the audio enhancements Apple. And here is a picture from the phone box was gone, and now the cover is white and her - embossed in the form of iPhone 6.
If it is not self-hypnosis, the screen of the iPhone 6 looks brighter and more interesting than the iPhone 5S. At least subjectively pictures on it look sharper than its predecessor. Many software changes are associated with the eighth version of iOS, preloaded on a fresh model Apple. Some of them will be able to get and the owners of older versions when you update the operating system.
External differences from 8 iOS iOS 7 is not as global as the difference between the seventh and sixth versions. However, wandering through the new interface, regularly come across surprises here to install the new OS offers a family access to the app store (control purchases child), there - move documents to iCloud Drive, and fotoprilozhenii added the ability to edit the color image, brightness of the image and its monochrome . The last paragraph is particularly interesting to see how many variations of black and white images can be made of the color image.
In video mode option has been added Slo-Mo with the speed of shooting 240 frames per second. It allows you to play videos from eightfold deceleration (5S cope only with quadruple).
Performance
It is known that the iPhone 6 is the new A8 processor and coprocessor M8. Last learned how to fix the vertical movement of the wearer. Processor, of course, 64-bit, except more productive mode Slo-Mo, he is entitled to as much as four times higher performance in games, but we could not find without thinking game in which the brakes to iPhone 5S. We measured the performance in the test 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited, which measures performance in games and iPhone 6 scored 17406 points. This result is better than the iPhone 5S (14998 points) and even superior to the results of the test iPad Air (15029 points).
Notable change was the emergence of a 128-gigabyte model. This volume of storage can not boast of all notebooks. And this is very useful, given that the program grow, and memory expansion cards smartphones Apple has traditionally not supported. So the new iPhone 6 available to the user only 114 gigabytes of internal memory, then a further 5 gigabytes set aside for system needs (and 9 gigabytes eats specificity counting capacity memory manufacturers).
Battery life
Along with the screen in a fresh Apple devices grew and the battery. Who won the race? We were severely limited in time of testing, so the results are only preliminary. iPhone 6 is charged for about 1.5-2 hours. And spends a full charge in about 8 hours (internet, photo) and 14 hours of waiting - almost a full day between connections to a power outlet. Figures calculated on the basis of loss of charge in a shorter time.
One of the interesting factors, we note that a significant flow occurred in the camera mode (Slo-Mo 240 frames per second has been very "greedy") and background activity on App Store - about 20 percent of the total battery consumption. We assume that the app store will be less impact on consumption of the battery after the new device will have all updates.
When compared to the iPhone 5S, it has grown and charging time, and battery life. In general, "your Captain Obvious": The battery charge has increased, and the charger remains the same.
All accustomed
Impressions from a brief acquaintance with the iPhone 6 can be expressed as follows: "It is different, but this iPhone». All changes made accurately enough and do not cause complaints. We do not think that the new models will be wearing in the bag on the belt - the unit has grown too. However, to work with it rather convenient. We believe the majority of users of the new iPhone, or come to the delight or put up with the changes in the form factor.
