iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus The Smartest Smart Phones

The Bigger the Better

What is the first thing we notice about upgraded newly released smart phones? The larger display which the iphone 6 and 6 Plus provide.

In length the iphone 6 is 5.44 inches high and 2.64 inches wide. The 6 Plus version has a height of 6.22 inches and its width is 3.06 inches. The older iphone 5 is 4.87 inches in height and its width is 2.31 inches. So the iphone 6 is a bigger smart phone providing a bigger display screen.

This allows for the older apps that have not been updated to zoom in enough to cover the screen sufficiently to prevent any negative space. A new function added is the Zoom View that simply displays a screen similar to that of the iphone 5. The iphone 6 does have a Standard View setting as well in which it allows for apps to appear larger on the bigger size screen. In the iphone 5 and 5s the home screen provided four columns and five rows which the iphone 6 can do in a larger size by using the Zoom View. The Standard View on the other hand will present a sixth row. The screen itself in the iphone 6 is diagonally 0.7 inches larger than the iphone 5 and 5s. The iphone 6 Plus’s screen has a diagonal length that is 1.5 inches larger than the iphone 5 and 5s models.

The Standard Zoom facility in the iphone 6 provides a great advantage by making it easier to read text as it is presented in a larger size. The iphone 6 size wise is not that much larger than prior models for it to feel awkward.

Enhanced Display

The previous iphone 5 and 5s have Retina Screens. Now 6 and 6 Plus have the new Retina HD Screens. This provides an improved contrast which allows the color black to have more depth and for sharper text presentation which improves legibility. The wider view angel facility in the Retina HD gives an improved view when one needs to show something to others.

Slimmer

The first iphone was 0.46 inches thick, iphone 3G and 3Gs were 0.02 inches thicker. The 4 and 4S models were 0.37 inches thick. The previous 5 and 5s were 0.3 inches thick. The latest iphone 6 is 0.03 inches slimmer while the 6 Plus is 0.02 inches slimmer than the iphone 5 and 5s.

With improvements in technology smart phones are getting thinner which is likely to allow them to be more comfortable in use then previous models and even more convenient in carrying. However the significant increase in height and width will take up more space in ones pocket but they will not bulge out. The evenly distributed heavier weight will not allow for the new iphone 6 to feel like burden when carrying.

Curved Edges

Unlike the previous models the new iphone 6 and 6 Plus have curved edges which smooth out the corners. This enhances the user experience by allowing for more comfort in handling. The glass covering on the sides fluently coats the metal and aluminum body to provide an easy feel. The iphone 6 has been designed to do away with all the gaps and edges allowing for the smooth integration of metal with glass.

Faster

The CPU of the iphone 6 and 6 plus is 25% faster while the GPU allows for 50% improvement in the image display from the older 5 as well as 5s models. The task functions are 50 times faster and graphical presentations have increased in speed by 84%. This has improved the functionality and response time.

Pay with Apple Pay

The introduction of Apple Pay is the biggest innovation offered by the iphone 6 and 6 Plus. This is an attempt to provide a payment mode that is more secure than credit cards. It will allow one to pay for goods and services by a few taps. This way one can easily make online purchases with discount codes from verncarverbeard.com

Screen Accessibility

Since 6 and 6 Plus have larger screens, a new functionality of tapping the home button twice allows for the screen to move down. This lets users reach the top of the screen making apps more accessible given the larger size. The iphone 6 plus provides the feel of a mini tablet rather than a phone. The larger size helps the busy urbanator with their tasks but it isn’t that comfortable to use as a phone. With these new innovations, improved functionality as well as introduction of new apps the iphone 6 and 6 Plus are guaranteed winners.
