Difference between iPhone 6, iPhone 5S and 5.

The event that millions of Apple fans have been waiting for has come true! The Cupertino-based company presented the much-anticipated iPhone 6, as well as its larger "copy", which, in addition to an enlarged display, received other characteristics and functions. However, only smartphones Apple at the "Cupertino" presentation was not limited. The "Apple" company showed the world its vision of wearable electronics in the form of the Apple Watch. True, many visitors to the presentation, and even ordinary users, expected to see something more. But Apple, in fact, showed everything it wanted: two large smartphones and a companion watch. Let's take a closer look at smartphones and see how the iPhone 6 differs from the iPhone 5S and 5.

If we summarize all the changes in the new iPhone 6, then we can say that Apple has relied on increasing the display diagonal for a reason. There are not so many 4-inch smartphones on the market. Basically, the niche of "small-screen" smartphones is occupied by budget solutions. Users need large displays to consume content. Apple decided to take into account the current trends in "smartphone building" and released two devices with diagonals 4.7 and 5.5 inches (11.9 and 14 cm) in a completely new design for the company. At the same time, both smartphones work on the latest processor from Apple and for the first time in the history of the company are equipped with 128 gigabytes of memory.

Updated design and dimensions

The design of the new iPhone 6 was no secret. More than once, pictures of the device body have leaked to the Network. If we compare the body of the “sixth apple” with the iPhone 5S, then, firstly, it has become noticeably thinner. Recall that the thickness of the iPhone 5S is 7.6 millimeters, and the iPhone 6 is thinner by 0.7 mm - 6.9 millimeters. The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus is 7.1mm thick.

Secondly, Apple has departed from the "square design" of the fifth model and fit the entire filling of the smartphone into a thin metal case with rounded edges and plastic inserts in the form of narrow stripes. The stripes on the ultra-thin body are applied for a reason: the antennas of the communication module are located under them.

Thirdly, the weight of the smartphone in comparison with the iPhone 5S has increased by only 17 grams. At the same time, the dimensions of the device have become noticeably larger. The "sixth generation" iPhone with a diagonal of 4.7 inches boasts the following dimensions: 138 × 67 mm. As for the iPhone 6 Plus, its dimensions are 158 by 78 millimeters and weighs 172 grams. Recall that the "five" has dimensions of 123.8 × 58.6 millimeters.

In addition to increasing the size, Apple has worked on other elements of the smartphone. If the front part of the device remains the same, then the ends of it have changed noticeably. The body of the "sixth iPhone" has lost its sharp edges and has become streamlined, and the power button has moved from the top of the smartphone to the right side. The speaker grill has also undergone changes: the holes for the sound output are larger and are located in one row. At the same time, Apple abandoned the so-called fake speaker. As a result, on the bottom edge of the smartphone there is only one row of speaker holes on the left side.

Like the fifth generation, the sixth generation iPhone will be available in three colors - dark gray, silver and gold.

New hardware and display

Every new Apple smartphone installs the latest in-house processor. The Cupertino-based company did not break this tradition and equipped its flagship with a 64-bit Apple A8 processor, which is manufactured using a 20-nm process technology. Company representatives talk about the high performance and energy efficiency of the new processor. For example, the A8 is 25% faster than the A7 processor found in the iPhone 5S. At the same time, graphics processing improved by 50%. The A8 processor is dual-core and clocked at 1.4 GHz.

In addition, Apple has updated the M8 coprocessor, which can track the movements of the smartphone in the vertical plane. In addition, at the presentation, Tim Cook said that the processor of the current generation of the smartphone is 84 times faster than the processor of the very first iPhone.

Apple, like Google, does not equip its smartphones with a memory card slot. This time, the company decided to launch new iPhones with 128 gigabytes of internal memory. However, unlike the iPhone 5S, there will be no “sixes” with 32 gigabytes of memory on sale. IPhones with 16/64/128 GB of internal memory will be available in the markets from September 19, 2014.

The new flagship of the "apple" company was released in two versions: with a display diagonal of 4.7 and 5.5 inches. The display resolution of the iPhone 6 is 1334x750 pixels. The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus has Full HD resolution, which Apple calls Retina HD - 1920 x 1080 pixels. The density of dots per inch in comparison with the iPhone 5S in the 4.7-inch smart has not changed - 326 ppi, but the 5.5-inch phablet has a density of 401 dpi.

New "old" camera

Apple decided to turn the smart device into a media gadget, equipping the new flagship with a camera with amazing characteristics. The resolution of the main camera has remained unchanged since the release of the "fourth iPhone". All the same 8 megapixels, but made using a completely new technology FocusPixel.

The iPhone 6 Plus received optical stabilization, but the younger brother got the old digital stabilization. The lens of the new sensor with an aperture of f / 2.2 and 1.5μm pixels protrudes slightly from the body. The Apple flagship camera allows you to shoot time-lapse videos at 120/240 frames per second, as well as Full HD video at 30 frames / s.

Battery life, price and other chips

Apple did not disclose the battery capacity of both iPhones, but talked about the increase in the battery life of the flagships. In all respects, both smartphones bypassed the previous generation. iPhone 6 Plus became the record holder at all. For example, in comparison with the "five", the time in the audio listening mode has doubled, from 40 to 80 hours. It can be stated that the difference between the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s in terms of power consumption is quite significant.

The sixth generation iPhone supports NFC and more than 20 LTE and VoLTE bands. In addition, the company has equipped the smartphone with a Wi-Fi module with support for 802.11ac Wi-Fi. The new iPhone 6 runs on iOS 8, which can be downloaded in a week.

However, the main surprise for many buyers was the cost. In the US, prices have remained the same: the iPhone 6 will be available on September 19, 2014 at a price of $ 649, and the iPhone 6 Plus - for $ 749. If you conclude a contract with a cellular operator, then the price for the 128GB version of the iPhone 6 Plus will drop to $ 499.

​​

In Russia, the price policy is slightly different. Apple iPhone 6 will be on sale on September 26 with a price tag of 32-42 thousand rubles, depending on the amount of internal memory. As for the "older" model, its cost will be 37-47 thousand rubles. But those who want to buy an iPhone 5S can be delighted: the price of the "five" will drop to 25,000 rubles.

Of course, both smartphones were able to work with the Apple Watch, just like the iPhone 5S. As for the owners of other generations of iPhone, they should forget about the "smart apple" watch. At the moment, we can say with confidence that the queues in the Apple Store will now be definitely not for "iPhones".
