Apple iPhone 6 Plus Review
Within the last two years, everyone has been expecting to see the iPhone 6, how it was only recently that Apple seems to be joining in on the phablet race like so many of their competitors. A lot of people canât make any sense of the iPhone 6 Plus, because it is practically just a larger screen with a better battery compared to the normal iPhone 6.
The iPhone 6 versus the iPhone 6 Plus is obviously all about choice rather than necessity. Apple has become a popular brand known for giving luxury with its products and the new iPhone 6 Plus is no different. However, it also has a variety of different specs that are considered key, as well.
The iPhone 6 Plus has proven itself to be a decent proposition to the original iPhone 6. It has a 5.5 inch 1080 screen, an A8 processor, and even a battery that can offer up to 80 hours if left in standby mode compared to the older battery of the iPhone 6 which offered much less. The new design of the iPhone 6 Plus is also another upgrade that makes it a formidable opponent to the iPhone 6.
The iPhone brand has never been centered on specs like most other smartphones, but they are designed to focus on the user experience. In the past, there has always been a line drawn between devices that are considered to be phones and those who are considered to be tablets. The iPhone 6 Plus has blurred this line due to the size of its screen.
The new iPhone 6 Plus has made payment solutions a lot easier than in the past thanks to its NFC powers. People who own this phone are able to access it by using TouchID, and the phone has a sensor as well. Another aspect to the iPhone 6 Plus that was not expected from an Apple product is the fact that the home screen actually has a landscape mode. This features puts the iPhone 6 Plus on equal ground with most tablets despite the fact that it is a smartphone.
The dimensions of the iPhone 6 Plus are only around 7.1mm thick, and it is extremely lightweight, but the large scree actually helps to balance it within the palm easily. If one has yearned for a larger screen, the fact that one has to fiddle around to reach the corners of the screen is considered to be a worthwhile trade-off.
Although the materials are practically identical to the previous iPhone 6, the feel of metallic and ceramic was actually stolen from the iPad Air. In hopes of cutting out some lines, Apple has hopes that this becomes iconic to their iPhone brand without breaking up the chassis of previous models.
Display
Unlike in the past, Apple has decided to split their strategy when it comes to the screen. They have done this by giving the iPhone 6 Plus a 1920 x 1080 screen, and it is merely a blown up version of the original iPhone 6. When looking at pin sharp graphics, this is part of what makes the new iPhone 6 Plus a upgrade to its predecessor.
In the past, the apps that were created in the App Store all had different resolutions, and some of them posed a problem when it came to the different iPhone and iPad versions. However with the iPhone 6 Plus, Apple had designed it with a scaler, and this will allow all of these apps to be used on the iPhone 6 Plus without having to worry about the app developers needing to do something to make it work.
Thanks to this, the 4S will actually be lost in the coming months when it comes to the minds of the developers, but this does not mean that this aspect is something that canât be managed. This allows the developers of these apps to update them if they wish, but it is no longer required.
The larger screen size of the iPhone 6 Plus has actually helped by allowing users to do a variety of things that were not possible with the iPhone 5S. This is part of what makes the iPhone 6 Plus a very accomplished competitor in the market, especially performance wise.
Apple is keeping a lot of the specs to the iPhone 6 Plus under their hat, but they did reveal that the processor was being updated beyond the previous A8 and has an uprated 64-bit CPU. Users that are all into how powerful their device is might be swayed, because the new iPhone 6 Plus is probably not going to have a RAM over 2GB.
The new screen resolution added into this upgrade will actually require an adequate power boost, but thankfully the iPhone 6 Plus comes with a battery that works at 100% increase compared to the batteries used in the past, and that combined with a processor that has an efficiency of 50% increase. In order to give the iPhone 6 Plus a proper test, it will need to be tested in a real life situation, especially with all it performs with all the different apps.
The iPad Air has become increasingly used as a laptop replacement for a lot of different people, and this leads to the possibility that Apple is offering a great product with the release of the iPhone 6 Plus.
For gamers, the iPhone 6 Plus is becoming a great prospect for a variety of different reasons. Its grippability and the larger screen will make it easier to see the games, and improvement on resolutions will make gaming even clearer. After all, Apple has amassed a larger quantity of games that can be played on their products, and this is what will make the release of the iPhone 6 Plus a great device for gamers.
It is projected that the iPhone 6 Plus might actually be used less than other iPhones due to its large size, but as proven with other devices, it is the iPhone 6 Plusâs functionality that will put it high on the buyerâs market. When it comes to communication, the iPhone 6 Plus will actually make messaging a lot easier due to the larger screen size.
For instance although it was a great device, the iPhone 5S had a rather small screen, which made it difficult to type out messages on. This was especially true when it was used after having used other larger Android phones. This will no longer be a problem thanks to the screen on the iPhone 6 Plus.
Camera
The camera on the iPhone 6 Plus shows how Apple has taken initiative in planning great strategy as they have added it with the larger screen size. The camera on the iPhone 6 Plus still has a 8MP sensor like the one that was in the iPhone 6, but it has an improved iSight. This ability actually can record in 240fps, and it is considered to be a very adept camera compared to other iPhone models.
However, that is not the biggest difference in cameras. The biggest change is by far the fact that it has optical image stabilization. This is an upgrade from the digital method that had been used in the iPhone 6. What does this mean? This new type of camera allows for clearer images that in the past would have come out blurry.
Although the camera used on the iPhone 6 was a great camera, the one used on the iPhone 6 Pus is just a step up as it will create clearer, stronger, and faster snaps when the need arises.
Conclusion
Although the iPhone 6 Plus is going to be a great device. This is not deterring Apple, though. They will still fare extremely well in prospects in other parts of the world where the compactness is not valued as highly. It is still a great device in its own right, but it all comes down to the decisions if one wants the larger screen or not.
The used of the optical image stabilization is what actually makes the iPhone 6 Plus its own device, and secures the worries that it is just a larger iPhone 6. However, the iPhone 6 Plus will become more expensive than the original iPhone 6. Therefore, one will have to decide if the larger screen and slightly better camera is worth the extra money it costs to purchase it over other smartphones.
