In a sense, it is like a hybrid between a rounder iPhone 3GS and a more sleek, modern iPhone 5s. In fact, Apple continues to make one of the most well designed smartphones on the market. Overall, if you have used an iPhone before, the design will still feel familiar for the most part. The use of ion-strengthened glass should also make the iPhone 6 more resilient at surviving the impact of a drop. Gone are chamfered edges, however, replaced with a smooth, seamless bond of metal and glass that could be less prone to cracking or shattering if you drop your iPhone. In terms of keeping your iPhone 6 looking new, the smartphone still has an anodized aluminum finish that could lead to normal wear and tear or scratches over time.
On the back is a slightly protruding iSight camera next to thick antenna bands at the top and bottom, a shiny Apple logo in the center and typical iPhone tagline underneath.
On the left, there are pill-shaped volume buttons and a mute switch for silencing the smartphone. The handset is made with a combination of anodized aluminum, stainless steel and glass.Īpple wants to ensure one-handed use of the iPhone 6, so it has repositioned the Sleep / Wake button - otherwise known as the power button - to the right side of the device. To achieve this design, which looks along the lines of a fifth-generation iPod touch, the iPhone 6 has a seamless transition between glass and metal like newer iPads, iMacs and other Apple products. The new smartphones are also noticeably thinner, with the iPhone 6 measuring in at 6.9 mm and the iPhone 6 Plus a hairline bulkier at 7.1 mm. For those that have considered the iPhone to be too small, that is no longer a valid excuse. In terms of screen size, the iPhone can now compete head to head with Android-based smartphones that long ago eclipsed the 3.5-inch to 4-inch mark of the iPhone 5s and below.
The standard iPhone 6 has a 4.7-inch display, while the iPhone 6 Plus packs a 5.5-inch screen. In a nutshell, the iPhone 6 is larger than its predecessor featuring an all-new design. Ahead, we take a comprehensive look at the two new smartphones based on several categories: design, display, camera, battery, connectivity, payments, software, storage, colors, specifications and onwards. The refresh was not as groundbreaking as, say, the jump between the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, but less incremental than the iPhone 5 compared to the iPhone 5s. Advertised as “bigger than bigger,” the iPhone 6 models received a design overhaul, improved hardware specifications under the hood, an entirely new mobile payments platform and several new features. Following months of rumors and speculation, Apple took the wraps off its highly-anticipated iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus at its product event on Tuesday afternoon.
