Review of Specifications

The iPhone 6 received a lot of positive reviews, with critics commending its spec and performance, which are superior to previous phones. However, it also had its fair share of criticisms including its thin body, which is susceptible to bending; hence, the "bendgate" phenomenon. Below is a brief review of the model.

The iPhone 6’s display is rich in detail and color. It has a 4.7-inch display that is packed with a 750x1334 resolution which already sets foot into the HD resolution territory; thus, the Retina HD Display branding. Compared to the iPhone 5s which sports a 640x1136 screen, the display upgrade of the iPhone 6 is not really that big of a leap. However, the resolution is big enough to give justice to a pixel density of 326ppi – resulting in a sharper and crisper display.

The denominator among all the iPhones that makes them such a great photography buddy is their ability to adapt to lighting conditions. Since the release of the iPhone 4s, the camera of the succeeding iPhones really stands out against competing smartphones during their time. And, this phone is no exception to that trend that Apple has led all these years.

Aside from the screen that literally got bigger, the battery life also had its major upgrade. The iPhone 6 comes with a 1624mAh Li-Po battery, which is 15% bigger than its predecessor. With that, the phone will be able to endure longer hours of video, music, browsing, and gaming with a single charge, definitely more than enough to get you by before your next charge.

So, there you have it - our review of the iPhone 6. Overall, it's is definitely a bang for the buck. While this phone does not actually offer something that’s really new and ground-breaking in the smartphone market, it really does well in polishing some old specifications of its predecessors completely.

iPhone Hands-On Review: The Start of a New Era

The Apple iPhone 6 is the phone that paved the way for Apple to explore a whole new world of possibilities. For starters, Apple finally took the first step yet the biggest leap in stepping up their phone’s overall design – a bigger screen. The iPhone 6 is basically the start of a new era for the iPhone series. Due to its enlarged size, it is now possible for Apple to give its battery department a boost – a glaring issue in all of the iPhones before it.

All these years, Apple never bothered to really go above and beyond into their iPhone’s specifications. Rather, they go the extra mile to polish a simple function and make it perform seamlessly. This explains why they still manage to be on top of the competition despite the lack of real new features to pit against high-caliber Android phones.

Overall Design and Handling

The Apple iPhone 6 sports a bigger build than its predecessor, apparently this also means that it’s slightly heavier. It weighs about 129g, making it just 10 grams heavier than the iPhone 5s. If you’re used to carrying the iPhone 5s, there will only be a slight to almost no difference at all in terms of weight. However, in terms of aesthetics, the iPhone 6 stands out greatly in slimness – it’s definitely sleek and sexy with just a 6.9mm thickness.

However, the thin profile (or lack of thickness) of the Apple iPhone 6 makes it easily bendable. At one point, it trended wildly on the internet, not for praises, but rather to warn users of the "bend gate" phenomenon. Many iPhone 6 users claimed that the phone easily bends when putting in the back pocket of their jeans. Given the thinness of this phone, that is definitely not far from becoming a possibility. However, if you’re using your phone with careit will be just fine.

In terms of the overall design, the Apple iPhone 6 really nailed it. It's a fresh take on the style department of the iPhone and it instantly became a face of an era that's been long overdue for Apple's iPhone. Apart from the design, it provides an easy grip for the hands to hold, which can be credited to its thin profile. The phone is not too big, but not too small either - it's just the perfect size for users to hold the phone comfortably and have enjoyable browsing or streaming experience. Without a doubt, this is how a smartphone's aesthetics should be done.

Display and Resolution

The display on the Apple iPhone 6 is definitely rich in detail and colors. The 4.7-inch display is packed with a 750x1334 resolution which already sets foot into the HD resolution territory. Its pixel density is 326ppi and is already many steps ahead of Apple’s famous retina display (which is only 326 PPI). Compared to the iPhone 5s, its predecessor, which sports a 640x1136 screen, the display upgrade of the iPhone 6 is not really that big of a leap. However, the resolution is big enough to give justice to a pixel density of 326ppi – resulting in a sharper and crisper display.

Screen to Body Ratio

The Apple iPhone 6 flaunts a 4.7-inch screen, but for the Android community, this size is now just among the minis of the latest Android flagship devices. Putting this device into a display size competition against Android flagship devices is basically a non-issue, though. One of the things that Apple has proven with the release of the iPhone 6 is that they don’t really have to do better in order to win the market.

The display size is nothing to really write about. Its bezel isn’t too thin but it isn’t thin enough to deserve praise either. However, it is relatively unobtrusive and contributes to a perfect overall finish of the Apple iPhone 6. Generally, there’s really nothing much to complain about its screen-to-body ratio. However, many famed flagship devices were able to fit a bigger screen into a body similar to the iPhone 6. One good example of that is the LG Nexus 6. It was able to fit a good 5-inch screen into a body similar to the iPhone 6. On the other hand, Samsung’s Galaxy Alpha carries the same display size as the iPhone 6, but with a smaller and thinner profile.

Scratch-Resistant Glass

On the surface of the phone is the strongest scratch-resistant glass in the smartphone industry today. Its display is protected by an ion-strengthened glass with oleophobic coating. This is Apple’s answer to Samsung and all other Android phones: Gorilla glass protection.

Camera

Apple’s iPhone has never really attempted to jump into the pixel competition when it comes to its camera. In the Apple iPhone 6, we won’t be seeing any major upgrade in the sensor’s pixel count. However, whatever they lack in terms of resolution, they pretty much more than make up for it by improving the quality of their still camera. The iPhone 6 despite carrying only an 8MP sensor is no pushover just like the camera of the iPhones before it. The same 8MP resolution may have premiered long ago during the debut of the iPhone 4s, but the hardware of its camera has undergone a lot of impressive upgrades since, along with Apple’s constant iOS upgrade which adds up to generating top-notch results. There are not many smartphones that can fare better than iPhones, and that’s a fact.

The denominator among all the iPhones that makes them such a great photography buddy is its ability to adapt to lighting conditions. Since the Apple iPhone 4s, the camera of the succeeding iPhones really stands out against the competing smartphones during their time. And, iPhone 6 is no exception to that trend that Apple has led all these years. With a camera that managed to stand out without any sweat since the release of the iPhone 4S, coupled with a handful of camera hardware upgrades, the iPhone 6 manages to shoot its way to the top of the competition.

Phase Detection

One of the noticeable improvement of the Apple iPhone 6 camera is the snappy autofocus, which is called the focus pixel. This takes a few milliseconds for the camera of the phone to fully focus on an object and produce a clear and detail-rich photo of it. The Apple iPhone 5S camera is, to say the least snappy, but the iPhone 6 takes auto-focusing into the iPhone series to a whole new level. Also when recording a video, the focus pixel works wonders. It can easily shift the focus from one nearby object to another.

The pixel focus is what we’ve already seen in many high-caliber Androids in the market today, and this feature is called phase detection technology on those devices. The Pixel focus feature of the iPhone 6 camera is among the best in the competition without a doubt.

Face Detection Improvement

With the iPhone 6 carrying a lightning-fast processor plus the pixel focus technology, the face detection of its camera sensor has improved, making it faster and more accurate.

HDR

Taking photos in the Dynamic range also proves to be snappier than ever. With the fast processor and snappy camera hardware, it now takes just 1 second to process an HDR photo. Even without the HDR, darker parts of a scene already have great exposures. With the HDR feature of the Apple iPhone 6, these darker parts of a scene will look naturally lit. However, it just tends to oversaturate the colors at times with the HD. Then again, the majority of cameras tend to do that a bit more.

Image Stabilization

Apple has finally added an image stabilization technology into this flagship device, but it kind of falls short because it’s not really rooted in the hardware. Rather, it only carries a digital image stabilization technology instead of an optical one. But, you don’t really need to fuss over this because it is sufficient enough to eliminate the blurring in still photos.

The real deal where image stabilization comes into play is in the video recording function. Optical image stabilization is far superior to the digital because it uses a gyro-technology inside the camera sensor that allows pieces of the lens glass to shift pieces in order to off-set any motion, such as shakiness and little yet persistent movements that cause the camera to shake. But with optical image stabilization, it will allow the sensors of the camera to adjust to those movements that cause the photos or videos to become shaky or blurry. On the other hand, digital image stabilization only uses software that adjusts and does no physical adaptation to movements. Instead, the software’s effect is mostly applied in the post-processing of a video or a picture.

If you’re into a full-fledged iPhone photography experience and you do not mind the size and price, you can go for the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. However, this is not to say that the iPhone 6 is poor in terms of camera. To say the least, its camera is among the best in the market and proves to be future-proof. But, the digital image stabilization fares poorly in recording videos while in motion.

Video Recording and 240 FPS Slow-Mo

It’s safe to say that it’s the iPhone 5S that started the high fps video recording trend since its release. The high fps also paved the way for the slow-mo to be possible. The iPhone 6 is among the very few smartphones that could shoot videos in various fps modules. So far, it gets the job done, without making an obvious compromise in the quality department.

The iPhone 6 brings forth a highly improved video camera. It can capture videos in Full HD (1080p) at 30fps and a fast motion 1080p video at 60fps – only a limited few smartphones can do that. Alongside its 120fps 720p slow-mo video is a 240fps 720p option (twice as high as the already dated 120fps). The best thing about it is that they didn’t have to cut down the resolution of the phone to make the 240fps possible.

The iPhone 6 camera is not capable of shooting 4K videos, but it does the day-to-day video recording job smoothly and perfectly. There’s really nothing to complain about its video recording capability. However, if for some reason you feel like a 4K video and an optical image stabilization are significant to your smartphone needs, there are better options in the market today. Phones like Xperia X5 premium, Galaxy S6, and Galaxy S7 are some of the tight competitors of the Apple iPhone 6.

Performance

The Apple iPhone 6 is equipped with 1GB of RAM with four internal storage variants: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB. It carries a next-generation chipset which is the Apple A8 Chipset. While this chipset boasts a fast processing speed, it does not heat up easily and it consumes less power than the average chipset.

The A8 Chipset that runs the Apple iPhone 6 is equipped with a 64-bit Cyclone processor which is clocked at 1.4GHz. It is 100 MHz faster than its predecessor’s A7 chipset, but it is energy-efficient because it does not require a lot of power in order to perform at its best. On the other hand, its Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a quad-core PowerVT that offers outstanding performance. Games that are graphics-intensive are easily rendered with minimal to zero hiccups, thanks to its GPU. Apple has really nailed it when it comes to their GPU. iPhones, especially the iPhone 6, are really good at running Full HD games, and the improvements that they implement are very consistent in every new iPhone they release.

Touch ID settings

Along with the features that got improved with its software upgrade spread across the iPhone and iPad devices is the Touch ID. This feature can now store up to five fingerprint samples, giving users a highly customized security feature. The fingerprint sensor of the Apple iPhone 6 is not the best one around because it may have some slight performance hiccups, but it’s not enough to make it inferior among its competing smartphones.

The Touch ID feature is more than just an unlocking feature of the iPhone. Apparently, it has now been integrated into a fairly good number of apps and into the iPhone’s security feature beyond the lock screen. For one, it can be used to authorize the App Store, iTunes, and iBook store purchases. The fingerprint security can easily be applied through the settings menu.

Audio Quality

With the new build that is being rocked by the Apple iPhone 6 comes a minor setback in the audio output department. The iPhone 5s wasn’t really outstanding in delivering a loudspeaker performance, its successor the iPhone 6 does a little bit worse than its predecessor though. Apparently, this is one of the minor compromises that the iPhone 6 has to do to give way to its trimmed down waistline. However, connecting it to an external amplifier or speaker posts an excellent score. Also, the audio quality of the Apple iPhone 6 through its earpods is nothing short of brilliance. Its performance is best enjoyed with an external amplifier or a headphone.

Verdict

The Apple iPhone 6 is definitely a bang for the buck. It’s a big leap towards innovation from its 4-inch screen predecessor. Many of its new specifications are nothing we’ve never seen before, however, that’s never been an issue for most iPhone users. It does not actually offer something that’s really new and groundbreaking in the smartphone market. However, it really does well in polishing these features completely that when they’re officially launched, there’s not a speck of imperfection that will ruin the experience. And, that is what the Apple iPhone 6 has really brought to the table.

A bigger screen is indeed a major upgrade for an Apple device, but it’s simply an aesthetic overhaul for a smartphone if you really think about it. Given that the bigger screen provides a whole new experience to iPhone users, the real deal with the iPhone 6 is how it delivers all the specifications smoothly into a much bigger screen. Realistically speaking, it does nothing new, but the well-loved user experience that most iPhone users sought after is perfectly transposed into a bigger screen. This is what draws users the most into using the Apple iPhone 6.

Obviously, there are far better high-end flagship devices in the market today that are offered at a fraction of the cost than the iPhone 6. However, it triumphs in the area where most of these leading flagship devices are inconsistent with – the user experience. The user experience is simply well polished. It is not packed with many specifications but rather it offers a rich and friendly user experience. Having that work on a bigger screen is definitely what matters for most iPhone users. This explains why the Apple iPhone 6 and even the iPhones before it continue to have a strong following of users despite placing an excessive premium on its price tag.

Review: First Impressions of the Apple iPhone 6

iPhone fans who have longed for an iPhone with a bigger screen finally had their request granted. Unveiled at the Apple iPhone launch event in 2014, the Apple iPhone 6 is by far the most advanced Apple smartphone yet. If you are interested in the iPhone 6 and its specifications, here are our first impressions of the device.

Larger, Sharper Display

The iPhone 6 comes with a larger display at 4.7 inches, making its resolution become more prominent. It has a pixel density of 326 PPI and is lit up by an IPS LCD which makes the screen icons and images appear sharper than ever. Despite having a larger display than the iPhone 5, the iPhone 6 is more energy-efficient, all thanks to its new hardware configuration.

Besides these enhancements, the Apple iPhone 6 is equipped with a signature Ion-strengthened glass with an oleophobic coating that makes it resistant to scratches. Not to mention, it sports thin bezels to provide a premium finish.

More Juiced Up!

Aside from having a larger display, the battery in the iPhone 6 also received a major upgrade. It now packs a 1624 mAh Li-Po battery, which is 15% bigger than its predecessor. On top of that, the iPhone 6 can endure long hours of video, music, browsing, and gaming with a single charge, thanks to its more energy-efficient display and larger battery pack.

8MP Camera with Point-and-Shoot Technology

While there was not much upgrade to the camera resolution in the iPhone 6, Apple enhanced the camera’s internal specifications such as the autofocus hardware. Now, the autofocus on the Apple iPhone 6 works much faster, all thanks to its more powerful chipset - the Apple A8. As for its face detection feature, it works much faster and more accurate than its predecessor.

There are plenty of things to like about the Apple iPhone 6: its user-friendly iOS 8 operating system, sleek design, powerful A8 chip, and impressive rear camera. It's an incredible phone on paper, and we can't wait to do a full review on this device later this year.
