Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus launched: Specification, Price and Availability
At the event today, Apple today announced two new iPhones, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. While the iPhone 6 comes with a 4.7 inch display, the iPhone 6 Plus has a massive 5.5 inch display. The new phones comes with Retina display with a 326ppi and comes with a resolution of 1334 x 750 for iPhone 6 and 1920 x 1080 for iPhone 6 Plus. The phone 6 is also thinner at 6.9mm while the 6 Plus is 7.1mm thick. Unveiling the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple chief Tim Cook said the company was launching "the biggest advancement in the history of iPhones."
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are powered by the Apple-designed A8 chip and this has up to 25% faster processing power and up to 50% faster graphics.
Displays:
Both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus feature curved glass “retina HD” displays, which will make it easier to swipe from the edges of the display.
iPhone 6 features a 4.7-inch display with a 1334×750 resolution, density of 326 pixels-per-inch. More than 1 million pixels are spaced across the display, which is 38% more pixels than the iPhone 5s display.
The iPhone 6 Plus has a larger 5.5-inch display with a 1920×1080 resolution and density of 401 pixels-per inch. That’s more than 2 million pixels in total and 185% more pixels than iPhone 5s.
Thinness:
The iPhone 6 is 6.9mm thin, and the iPhone 6 Plus is 7.1mm. The iPhone 5S is 7.6mm.
Colours:
Gold, silver and space grey — just as before with the iPhone 5s.
Connectivity:
Both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have 802.11 ac Wi-Fi connections, which Apple says is three times faster than 802.11 n. Both also support up to 20 LTE bands and will be available on more than 200 carriers.
Battery Life:
Apple says the iPhone 6 will have 10 days of standby battery life and up to 10 hours of LTE web browsing battery life.
The larger 6 Plus promises 16 days of standby time, and 12 hours of continuous LTE web browsing.
Chipset:
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus both have the new Apple A8 system-on-a-chip inside. This 64-bit chipset is has 2 billion transistors inside, up from 1 billion in the A7, and the A8 is 13% smaller than the A7 chip. Apple says this all adds up to 25% faster CPU performance and up to 50% faster graphics performance when compared with the 5s. The A8 is also promised to be 50% more energy efficient than the A7.
Rear camera:
Both models will ship with a new 8-megapixel iSight camera sporting a f/2.2 aperture. The new photo sensor has what’s called “phase detection focus” which Apple says will make it’s autofocus faster, improve skin tones, recognise faces faster and take better macro photos.
The iPhone 6 has digital image stabilisation, but the iPhone 6 Plus takes a step up with true optical image stabilisation that mechanically moves the lens up, down, side to side, to automatically adjust and stabilise your image as you move the phone.
The new phones will shoot 1080p video at 30 frames-per-second or 60 frames-per-second, and capture slo-mo video at 120 frames-per-second or 240 frames-per-second. There’s also a time lapse feature and new continuous autofoucs for video.
The from camera also has improved face detection and a new burst mode for selfies, along with single-shot HDR photos and HDR video.
Pricing:
Price tiers are the same for iPhone 6, but the storage capacity in the two higher price points have doubled.
Two-year carrier contracts in the US: The iPhone 6 starts at $199 with 16 GB of storage, $299 for 64 GB, and $399 for 128 GB.
The iPhone 6 Plus is, of course, more expensive. The 16GB model starts at $299, the 64GB model sells for $399 and the 128GB will fetch $499.
