The long wait is
finally over. After months of speculation, Apple has finally announced its new
smartphone flagship in two versions — iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
The iPhone 6 and
iPhone 6 Plus feature the second largest design overhaul. Dropping the sharp
edges in favor of the more rounded and slimmer profile, which is made possible
with the thinnest display used in any iPhone yet; making iPhone 6 and iPhone 6
Plus, one of the thinnest smartphones in the market.
The eighth generation
iPhone is designed with a cover glass that curves to meet the anodized aluminum
enclosure. Part of the design overhaul is the new placement for the Sleep/Wake
or On/Off button from the phone's top edge to its right side panel.
The innovative and
seamless design resulted to a smooth, continuous form. And as expected from any
Apple product, it has maintained its sleek and sophisticated look.
iPhone 6 features a
4.7-inch Retina display that delivers 326 ppi pixel density with 1334 x 750
screen resolution, while iPhone 6 Plus sports a 5.5-inch Retina display and 401
ppi pixel density with 1920 x 1080 screen resolution. Both iPhones run on a
64-bit dual-core A8 processor with an M8 co-processor, which promises to have
up to 84x faster GPU and 50x faster CPU than the original iPhone. The A8 chip
is 50% more energy efficient than A7 and it can sustain higher performance,
resulting to a better performance and battery life than its predecessors.
The iPhone 6 and
iPhone 6 Plus include an 8-megapixel iSight camera with optical image
stabilization and a true-tone LED flash. Not only that, both iPhones have an
NFC chip that enables mobile payments through Apple Pay.
