Buzz
Despite sharing many similarities with rumors, the iPhone 6 still brings new features that captivate users.
Changing the event venue (from Yerba Buena, San Francisco) to a larger location, the Flint Center in Cupertino, indicates that Apple is preparing for a historic launch. Indeed, the just-concluded event minutes ago is considered the biggest Apple event in recent years.
The spotlight remains on the iPhone 6 model, even when Tim Cook and colleagues dedicated half of the keynote to introduce the iWatch. Here are some new features of the mentioned product.
New Design Language
The iPhone 6 embraces an entirely new design language with rounded, soft edges. Meanwhile, the volume buttons have been transformed into elongated diamond shapes. The premium solid aluminum frame of the iPhone 6 is also remarkably thin and light. On the back, the camera lens slightly protrudes alongside a clearly visible antenna strip.
Large Display
Currently, smartphones with a 4.7-inch screen are considered a reasonable size. However, with a focus on efficient one-handed use, the 4.7-inch screen size on the iPhone 6 is truly revolutionary. This marks the largest increase in screen size in the development history of the iPhone.
High-Speed A8 SoC
Apple declares that the A8 SoC boasts a CPU 25% faster and GPU 50% faster than the old SoC. Compared to early iPhone models, the new processor on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is up to 84 times faster.
The A8 processor is up to 50% more energy-efficient, generating less heat while maintaining high processing performance. To help developers harness the full power of the new processor, Apple has introduced the Metal programming toolkit, a Game Engine that enables the creation of software with beautiful and impressive interfaces. Similar to A7, A8 also features an accompanying co-processor named M8, capable of handling various low-level tasks such as sensor management.
New iSight Camera
Although having an 8MP resolution like the iPhone 5s camera, the iPhone 6 camera has seen significant improvements in both the camera module and accompanying software. The iPhone 6 camera is equipped with an entirely new sensor. On the software side, users can manually customize the camera more than ever.
Focus Pixels Technology
Apple has also equipped the iPhone 6 camera with Focus Pixels technology. Focus Pixels enhances focusing and enables faster photo capture compared to before.
Enhanced FaceTime HD
The front camera of the iPhone 6 is equipped with a sensor with an aperture of up to f/2.2, allowing the device to capture up to 80% more light. Additionally, the iPhone 6 features face recognition for selfie and group selfie capture. The quick selfie feature is also enhanced: the iPhone 6 can capture 10 photos in 1 second, and users can then select the best one. The front camera of the iPhone 6 can also use sensors to automatically capture HDR photos.
Extended Battery Life
With a 1810mAh battery capacity, the iPhone 6 can play music for 50 hours and video for 1 hour. Browsing time over 4G LTE and 3G on the iPhone 6 is equivalent to the iPhone 5s: 10 hours; web browsing time over Wi-Fi is also upgraded from 10 hours to 11 hours. In return, talk time on 3G connectivity is set by Apple at 14 hours.
Faster LTE Connectivity and Multi-Band Support
The iPhone 6 can download files at a speed of 150Mbps. The device also supports more LTE bands than any handheld device: the iPhone 6 is compatible with all 4G networks worldwide.
Faster Wi-Fi Connectivity
The iPhone 6 supports Wi-Fi 802.11 ac standard, allowing users to download data at a speed of 1Gbps if the internet service provider and router support it. Making calls over Wi-Fi is also a new feature equipped on the iPhone 6.
Barometer Sensor
In addition to the M8 co-processor, the A8 SoC can process information from the barometer sensor. This enables the device to calculate atmospheric pressure for measuring relative altitude. The barometer sensor is highly useful for fitness applications, including Apple's Health app.
128GB Storage Capacity
After years of anticipation, the iPhone 6 finally comes with a 128GB storage capacity variant. As user storage needs continue to grow, mobile device storage capacities will need to increase accordingly.
NFC Technology
