The Apple iPhone 6 Plus is now
official. It's built around a 5.5" IPS LCD display with an Retina HD
resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels or, in other words 1080p). The pixel density is
400 ppi and iOS 8 has been tweaked to take full advantage of the larger
display.
The back of the iPhone 6 Plus is made
of anodized aluminum and the stainless steel frame of the phone ensures its
rigidity.
The user interface has been optimized
to take advantage of the larger screen and offers split-screen mode in several
apps like earlierleaks suggested.
The new 64-bit A8 chip that powers the
Apple iPhone 6 Plus is built using the 20nm manufacturing process. Thanks to
this it's more power efficient, while still offering 25% more CPU power and 50%
GPU boost.
The iPhone 6 Plus supports 20 LTE
bands, but only 150Mbps cat4 LTE, rather than the latest 300Mbps Cat 6. On the
positive side the phablet comes with VoLTE and Wi-Fi 802.11ac, which promises
3x faster Wi-Fi compared to the iPhone 5s. Wi-Fi calling is also a new feature,
which will work on T-Mobile in the US and EE in the UK.
Further on, the iPhone 6 Plus packs
NFC, another first for the company. Thanks to it, you'll be able to make
payments by using Apple Pay - Apple's own NFC payment system.
At the back, the iPhone 6 Plus uses a
8MP iSight camera with a True Tone dual LED flash. The pixel size is the same
as on the iPhone 5s at 1.5μ and the aperture is unchanged at f/2.2. However the
iPhone 6 Plus has an optical image stabilization - a first for the company.
There's also phase-detection autofocus
that should improve focusing speed twice. It is enabled by the A8 chip, which
also includes powerful image signal processor designed by Apple.
The Apple iPhone 6 Plus camera records
1080p video at 30 and 60fps. There's a slow-mo shooting available, too, at
240fps, but its resolution hasn't been specified.
