Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus specs review

The new Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have finally gone official, putting an end to all speculations, and finally showing what Apple has really been busy with.



After the company started designing its own processors with Swift in the Apple A6 (on board the iPhone 5) and refined this with the even deeper Cyclone in the Apple A7 (on the iPhone 5s), it’s time to up the stakes: welcome the Apple A8, the system chip found in the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Yes, both share the same core silicon and the same camera, but there are some subtle differences.

Design

The most visually noticeable change in the new iPhones is in their design. Gone are the times of sharp edges and flat sides - in the iPhone 6 versions Apple goes for an iPad mini-like style with a curved edge on both devices. The appearance has not changed drastically, but you can instantly note the evolution of design. Apple is still using the same quality materials: aluminum all around, with only a tiny flashes of plastic on the back of the phone for better reception.



Both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus come with the fingerprint recognition courtesy of Touch ID, and both have now got their power/lock key on the right side so you can easily reach it. Volume buttons are on the left.
