After months of waiting,
rumors and stolen photos, the 2014 iPhone 6 range is now official.
On aseen yesterday
where to buy it and when…
For those who plan to equip themselves and want to take advantage of pre-orders
on the different sites, this means that there are only a few hours left to
finalize the choice, which promises to be very difficult this year. In fact, there is
a difference in size between the two new iPhone 6s, but also in
subtle modifications. SOwhich model will suit best, for
what use?
We try to give you some food for thought in the rest of this
article, even if, in the end, if we put aside the price difference, it is the
heart that must speak: yours!
So, size and weight, screen resolution, photo/video aspect or
specific functions of iOS, here are the criteria to keep in mind:
Height and weight
This is obviously one of the major criteria this year. With two sizes
different screens, the iPhone 6 hastwo dimensionsGOOD
different.
We talked about this aspect of bulk and outfitin this article
herewith patterns and photos to try to give an idea of sizes
relative to the models.
For some, 5.5 inches is definitely too big, the choice is
Obviously, it will be the 4.7 inch, or even a smaller model. After all, he
it has to fit in your pocket... For others, it will be a dilemma until the last
moment. In this case, it would perhaps be best to wait until you can
pick up at an Apple Store or in-store.
Another criterion to take into account is weight!
So, an iPhone 6 will make you gain weight by only 129 g, a weight
slightly higher than that of the iPhone 5s (112 g). On the other hand, on the side of
the iPhone 6 Plus is something else since it reaches the172
g.
But if that were all there was to it... Apple has complicated the choice a little by offering
slightly different technical characteristics of the two machines. YOU
canreread
our comparison here, but we will examine each point in more detail
below :
Screen resolution and size
Beyond the size, the screens display another difference: it is
the number of pixels displayed on the screen. It's very different!
Thus, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 retains thesame density in terms of
points (326 ppi) than its predecessor, while the screen welcomes
due to its size a greater quantity of pixels. In the end, these are
1 334 x 750 pixelswhich will be displayed. The screen is also
different witha contrast announced as better (400:1) on the iPhone 6 by
compared to 6+(300:1). This implies a technology probably
different. There, you will have to see the two side by side, we will tell you as soon as we have
both models in hand.
Theresolution of 6+ is much superior, in value but also
in density. Thus, no less than1920 x 1080 pixels with
density of 401 pixels per inch. Suffice to say that the image will be very
probably perfectly sharp. This might be useful for those who have
an excellent view, but the thinness of the 4-inch iPhone was already very
belle.
Another interest of the big screen, for example for photo enthusiasts who
want to be able to examine their shots in great detail, video fans or just
simply lovers of comfortable reading. Between the increase in
screen size and resolution, the 6+ should take the upper hand.
The photo
This is another element that can allow you to choose between the two
models!
Indeed, the iPhone 6 Plus has a specificity compared to its
“little” brother:an optical stabilizer.
in other words, the ability to film and take photos with less risk of
blur, especially when using longer pause times in
low light (the ideal remains a support!).
So this is emerging: for those who wish to use their machine in order to
take quality photos and videos and benefit from a large screen for
viewing and editing, without the hassle of another device or an iPad,
The iPhone 6 Plus is the choice to consider. The ultimate machine
blogger?
Autonomy
This is an argument that will undoubtedly resonate with many users.
d’iPhone.The iPhone 6 Plus, with its imposing size and weight,
has another advantage than the screen, it is that it has a battery
much larger than the 4.7-inch 6.
So if the 6 should have an autonomy relatively similar to that of
the iPhone 5s, the iPhone 6 Plus should do much better. In any case, this is what
what Apple indicates. One example among others: where the iPhone 6 displays a
autonomy of14 hours of 3G talk time and 250 hours of standby time,
the iPhone 6 Plus should allow you to upgrade to24 hours of conversation and
348 hours standby.
This should make a very clear difference: will we exceed the
day of intensive use with the 6 Plus?
Real differences in iOS
This is a difference that is not visible in the specifications
techniques of the machine, but which it is important to have in mind when
choice !
Thus, Apple hasmodified iOS to work differently depending on whether it
is used on iPhone 6 4.7 inch or 5.5 inch. The
justification relating to the size of the display according to the statements
d’Apple.
Result,l’iPhone 6 Plusis the first iPhone to offer
(finally) onetrue landscape mode. In other words, the screen
reception rotates correctly:
This is very interesting for those who use their machine
in this sense regularly.
Example in the car: when the iPhone is set for GPS in landscape,
if you want (during the break) to go read your emails or something else, you can no longer pass
via a readable screen on the side to access other applications.
It is surprising and regrettable that this is not available on the iPhone
6 standard... This should even have been there for years. But hey, it will be necessary
go up to 5.5 inches to take advantage of it.
Regarding standard apps, and those that will be developed
specifically, theydisplay a side pane, like a
iPad:
But that's not all and some applications have specific features
on the 6+: the contact app now displays photos in the list of
contacts :
For the rest: colors offered and memory capacity, these are the
same, no questions to ask for this specific case.
So here is an overview of the different differences, you have
now certainly all the cards in hand to make your decision:
the mini tablet or the comfortable phone, a logical evolution of the
previous generation?
The good news:there is now an iPhone for everyone
tastes…Or almost (an iPhone 6 with 5-inch screen and the specs of
6 I would have liked more…)
In any case, we promise to carry out a complete comparison of the two
models as soon as they arrive at the editorial office!
