Is there a pink iPhone 6? Choosing a color is not an easy task

Apple has released the 6th version of the legendary mobile gadget iPhone. It is produced in two modifications (A1549 and A1586). In addition, there is a “tablet phone” iPhone 6 Plus (also two models - A1522 and A1524). Both devices, of course, fall into the premium category. How much does iPhone 6 cost? Depending on the specific national market (as well as the dealer), its price is about 30-34 thousand rubles.

How do the models differ?

How, strictly speaking, do models within the same device class differ? Let's consider each of the two modifications. Model A1549 and A1586 are actually practically the same thing. As well as A1522 and A1524 (Plus modification). It’s just that the first index is adopted for sales mainly in the USA. This model comes with a charger that is very different from the Russian one, so if we bought an iPhone A1549, then most likely we will have to purchase an additional adapter for the power adapter. But it is completely inexpensive.

In turn, the A1586 model is sold mainly in Europe. The main one technological feature- support for 20 bands within the LTE standard (while the “American” modification can only work with 16). As a rule, the version sold in the USA is cheaper.

Almost the same patterns are visible when comparing A1522 and A1524. The first supports slightly fewer LTE bands and is equipped with a charger adapted to sockets used in the United States. There is a misconception among users that the “American” version of the iPhone does not work well with Russian mobile operators. This is absolutely not true, experts emphasize. iPhones are adapted to stable operation with almost all mobile operators in the world, and in all existing communication standards, including the most modern, LTE.

What's included in the package

In the factory box, the user will find the iPhone 6 smartphone itself, a proprietary headset such as EarPods, a cable for USB communication, as well as a tool for conveniently removing the SIM card from the gadget. An instruction manual is also included.

Design, appearance

iPhone 6 is available in three shades - dark gray, gold, and silver. The device body is made of aluminum, its design is monolithic. The antenna elements are visible at the back and sides. The main camera protrudes slightly beyond the body line. Below the screen is the "Home" key. Above the display is an additional camera, as well as a voice speaker. The screen coating is high-quality oleophobic glass.

The device's power button is located on the right side (while in many others it is on the top). On the left there are keys for turning on the sound and adjusting its level. At the bottom there is a USB-Lightning connector. A nanoSIM card is inserted into the slot located on the right side of the case. Device dimensions: 138.1x67x6.9 mm.

As befits devices in its line, iPhone produces a premium gadget. According to experts and users, the design of the smartphone is made at the highest level. The device is pleasant to hold and comfortable to use. Owners are especially impressed by the balanced colors that highlight the sophistication of every curve of the iPhone 6 case.

The design of the device is assessed by users and experts in an extremely positive manner. Enthusiasts of the iOS line of devices respond very positively to the new design approaches implemented in the iPhone 6th version. However, this kind of sentiment, as experts note, is completely typical for evaluations of devices under the Apple brand. Apple gadgets are famous primarily for their high quality of design and assembly.

Screen

The display of the gadget is high-tech, made using IPS technology. Diagonal - 4.7 inches. The resolution is high - 1334 by 750 pixels. There is LED backlighting. In Apple's classification, the screen installed on the iPhone 6 is called Retina. Using system settings, you can adjust the brightness of the display and the size of program elements. Experts and users note the highest quality of the screen.

The image is perfectly visible from any viewing angle. The large diagonal, experts say, expands the multimedia capabilities of the device: viewing videos, web pages and pictures is very comfortable. The iPhone 6 display displays very natural, rich colors. Pixelation, as the owners note, is almost invisible.

Possibilities

The hardware installed in the device, as well as in other devices in the iPhone line, assumes the highest performance. All four smartphone models under the iPhone 6 brand (the differences between them are small - they mainly lie in the size of the built-in memory, but more on that later) support the most modern technologies communications in 2G, 3G and 4G standards. All modifications support communication via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth version 4, as well as modern module NFC. There is support for multimedia (traditional for iPhones), MP3, AAX, AIFF, ALAC, and WAV.

A powerful processor is a key factor in the high performance of the iPhone 6. The technical characteristics of the device, which we indicated above, according to many experts, are secondary to the role played by the dual-core, 64-bit Apple A8 chip, operating at a frequency of 1.3 GHz. The processor is complemented by the M8 module, which controls the accelerometer (acceleration meter), gyroscope, and compass integrated into the smartphone. The iPhone's graphics subsystem runs on the GX6650 chip. There is support for GPS, GLONASS.

Software

The selection of hardware components of the device would probably not imply high performance without high-quality software filling. There is one in the gadget, and this operating system iOS in version 8. The quality of the software, according to experts and users, is the highest. Despite the fact that the smartphone only has 1 GB of RAM, there are no slowdowns or freezes in operation.

Moving between windows is very smooth, applications launch quickly. As such, the level of performance of the iPhone 6 is quite consistent with the user tasks assigned to the device.

Camera

We wrote above that the screen installed on the iPhone 6 determines great comfort in viewing multimedia content. This opportunity would probably not be complete without a quality camera. This hardware component has decent specifications. Resolution - 8 megapixels, 5 lenses in the optical system. There is a system focusing mode. According to many experts, the quality of photos taken with the Apple iPhone 6 is comparable to that typical for photos from a specialized camera.

Battery

The smartphone battery, as stated by the manufacturer, provides about 14 hours of battery life in talk mode. If the device is not actively used, it will work without recharging for about 10 days. In video playback mode, the smartphone will function for about 11 hours, when playing music - about fifty. The experts who reviewed the iPhone 6 based on testing the battery capabilities achieved, in general, comparable results.

Memory resources

iPhones traditionally have large amounts of built-in flash memory. True, Apple provides individual models within the same line with different indicators in relation to this resource. For the iPhone 6, the differences are quite significant. Depending on the specific version of the device, 16 GB of flash memory, 64 or 128 GB can be installed. At the same time, not every smartphone on competing platforms can boast at least the same 16 GB, not to mention more impressive amounts of resource.

Modification Plus

Our review of the iPhone 6 would be incomplete without examining the characteristics of one of the main modifications of the phone. We are talking about the iPhone 6 Plus. This, of course, is not a “Chinese” iPhone 6, it is a full-fledged branded version. What are the distinctive features of this device in comparison with the flagship model? The key feature of the iPhone 6 Plus is that, according to its classification, it belongs to the “tablet phone” type gadgets. That is, a kind of hybrid between a smartphone and a tablet (which is expressed primarily in the dimensions of the “plus” modification of the iPhone 6: the device body is noticeably larger than that of the flagship version - 158x78x7.1 mm).

iPhone 6 Plus: specifications

The Korean smartphone has advantages in terms of display diagonal - 5.7 inches. Also, the Samsung device has a slightly higher pixel density - 515 (versus 401 for the iPhone). The main and secondary cameras of the Galaxy Note surpass the similar hardware component of the iPhone in terms of resolution (16 and 3.7 megapixels for the “Korean”).

But does it matter that the iPhone is inferior in most technical characteristics to its closest competitor on the Android platform? Experts have differing opinions on this issue (however, this state of affairs has been observed for many years). Some experts are sure: the main thing is not “megahertz” and “megapixels”, but the balance of technologies, the level of interaction of electronic components. Even if, they believe, the processor and other microcircuits do not work so fast, but if they are stable, then such a device is, in fact, more productive than its competitor, which has nominally more impressive parameters. Apple's platform is famous primarily for its balanced hardware and the compatibility of various hardware components. And therefore, the fact that iPhones are inferior in characteristics to competitors on the Android platform, by and large, does not mean anything, many experts are sure. Apple devices have conquered the market, they believe, largely due to their stability. As well as stylish design and convenient controls. iPhone version 6 is no exception.

Apple presented a series of new iPhone 6, which captivated its fans with a variety of colors. This time, the designers’ palette has been transformed and, in addition to the usual colors of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s, new ones are presented to our attention fashionable colors: gray “Space Grey”, which translates as “Space Grey”, Pink pink, Gold Gold and Silver silver. All colors are worthy of being described for you.

The external design of the iPhone 6 cases and the colors of the case differ in many respects from its predecessor, the iPhone 5s. The names of the colors of the smartphones, in principle, have not changed, but their shades have undoubtedly changed.

Undoubtedly, the most attractive are the stripes on the back cover of smartphones, which indicate that you are the happy owner of an iPhone 6. The stripes are relatively different from the color of the smartphone itself, but the purpose of their application was not only to display a new direction in design, but also in a technical sense - This is an innovation for the smartphone itself. These stripes on the case not only ensure its attractiveness, but also ensure the operation of cellular communications and, of course, cellular modules, which have always been hindered by the aluminum case.

We have known this color combination for a long time from the iPhone 5/5s series. Most likely, inspired by the previous design of the Apple smartphone, the authors continued this topic, adding to this the rounded edges, thin body and streamlined panel for which this brand has become famous in the new season.

Soft pink

The sales leader was undoubtedly the Apple iPhone 6 with a Pink Pink casing. Its soft pink pastel panel has attracted the admiration of many women. This shade of the smartphone complemented the model image of fashionistas in the new season. Light stripes decorated its body like never before.

Stylish and straightforward Space Gray

Space Gray has brightened up a bit compared to the previous iPhone. The innovation is undoubtedly the black stripes on Space Gray. This shade brought a note of solidity and presentability to its owners, who, apparently, will be the strong half of humanity and will be able to appreciate the authority of the Apple Gray iPhone 6.

Arctic Silver

The new silver shade closely matches the metallic color of the Apple laptop, and the dark stripes on the back of its case seem to emphasize its individuality and grace. Apple replaced the chopped straight lines with innovative new ones - rounded edges of the case, as it once presented its very first models. Now truly owners of Apple products will be able to assemble the entire set of the same color from a smartphone, tablet and laptop.

Aristocratic Gold

Gold Apple iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, like the pink color, is undoubtedly the clear leader in smartphone sales. After all, the manufacturer received over 40% of orders specifically for the color “rose gold”. The golden color pleased with its rich warm colors. The gold case is also beautifully complemented by white stripes.

The developers of accessories for the iPhone 6 Gold also did not stand aside, providing chic gold rims for smartphone cases.

And if you stick mirror glass on the body of a gold iPhone 6 smartphone, the color of the six will become truly royal.

The Brikk company, in turn, proposed to complement the Apple iPhone 6 by covering it with several layers of gold, platinum, and even for particularly sophisticated customers - inlaid with diamonds in the shape of the Apple logo. The price for this finish ranges from $4,495 to $8,795.

Flawless White

The classic snow-white White iPhone 6 is impeccable as always and is also complemented by darker stripes on the body. Its mirror surface complements the image of purity like never before for lovers of chic white.

Graceful Black

Black Black is designed, as always, in a strict style for lovers of practicality, rigor and classics. We agree that the iPhone 6 in black is reasonable to recognize as one of the most popular, its new style is not disturbed by the usual images, but the practical version of matte black is quite appropriately developed.

Can Apple's color scheme in the iPhone 6 smartphones be called revolutionary? Yes, there is certainly a new style and design. Sales trends, in turn, stimulated mirror glass developers to saturate this device with an unrivaled extravagant design that makes the appearance of the iPhone 6 unrecognizable.

From the beginning of sales, when huge queues gathered outside Apple Stores and hundreds of people wanted to get their hands on a gold phone, until today, sales activity for the iPhone 6 and its big friend iPhone 6 Plus has not subsided.

iPhone - originally conceived as the one and only, today is offered for every taste and color. Although, for every taste and color - this may be an exaggeration, but, in any case, at the moment the range of i-smartphones is wider than ever.

Currently on official sale are iPhone SE, iPhone 6S/7, as well as Plus versions of the last two. Moreover, each of the devices is also offered in several colors! And if choosing a model is not so difficult - the most advanced - the “Seven”, lovers of small smartphones - the SE version, and the rest, in fact, the iPhone 6S; then with color it’s already more difficult. Strict Space Gray or catchy Rose Gold? Classic but spectacular Silver or bright and somewhat controversial Gold?

Well, let's figure out which iPhone color suits you best! We'll look at the iPhone 6S as an example.

The iPhone 6S is offered to users in four colors - the first two can be called classic - this is gray, which Apple very nicely dubbed Spay Gray, which means “space gray”, and silver - Silver - which for some reason did not get a special name. Well, okay, this, in general, is not the first, not the last and not the most interesting riddle from the “apple” giant.

What are these two smartphones? Let's take a look at them. Let's start with the back panels.

Do you want the author's honest opinion? They are almost the same! Yes, yes, according to Apple’s idea, one model is conceived as gray, and the second as silver, this is clear, but here we are not talking about the silver that shines. So in the end it turns out that in reality we have a light gray and dark gray body. At the same time, the shade of the “apples” and the unfortunate antenna stripes, which everyone has been tirelessly criticizing for several years now, is almost identical.

Well, now let’s take a look at the “face” of the devices, and here there will be no accusations of sameness - because Spay Gra y has a black front panel, and Silver has a white front panel. Due to this, the first one looks more monolithic and solid, and on the silver one the sensors and the “eye” “loom” brightly. front camera and Touch ID.

Whether this is good or bad, everyone will decide for themselves - many, for example, find a white fingerprint scanner framed around the perimeter with a silver edging to be an even more elegant solution than the “lost” black one without an accent, while others, on the contrary, will like the invisibility of the latter.

However, we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the white and black front panel - objective and not so much - a little lower, but for now...

Experiments of the "apple" giant

...let's talk about two more models of the iPhone 6S color scheme, which cannot be classified as classic - Gold - gold and Rose Gold - rose gold. However, they can no longer be called experimental; after all, these colors have been in the lineup for several years and they are definitely popular.

And here, on the contrary, let's start with the front panel. And why? Yes, because, in general, the front surface of both Gold and Rose Gold is practically no different from the Silver version, the only difference, which is not immediately visible - the Touch ID edging - in Gold it is golden, in Rose Gold it is pink. All!

But the rear panels are a different matter - you don’t need to look closely, it’s immediately clear, “xy from xy.” The silver model is light gray with dark gray stripes and antennas, Gold is golden, Rose Gold is pink, and the antennas of the last two are white - also, by the way, the decision is very subjective - some will praise it for the interesting accents, while others will scold it - “Well, why did you single out something that no one likes!”

Be that as it may, everything that concerns the back panels, by and large, is not so important for one simple reason - the iPhone 6S smartphone is not cheap, and therefore most users, trying to protect it as much as possible from scratches and falls, put on a case . Well, besides, the range of accessories for i-smartphones is so wide that it is very difficult to deny yourself the desire to refresh your device with some interesting case.

But the result, of course, is injustice - Apple is trying, experimenting with the back of the case, but for the most part it is simply covered with an accessory. However, thank God that, in desperation, the Apple giant did not decide to make smartphones completely gold or pink, because, in fact, the success of these experimental models lies in the correct dosage. Whatever you say, when working with such colors it is very difficult to find the optimal line and get something elegant and not vulgar - the “apple” giant did a great job!

Come to the dark side... if you want!

However, if you are one of those who do without covers, the color of the back panel is of great importance for you, as well as the “perception” of specks, dust particles and fingerprints in one shade or another. However, in this sense, all models can be divided into two groups - light, in which there will be silver, pink and gold, and dark, in which gray will be forlornly bored.

So, what are the advantages of light-colored models? Right! Fingerprints on them are not as visible as on a dark one; this, by the way, applies to both the front and rear panels. In addition... and no “besides”, because this is where the positives end. Motes and specks of dust will be visible on any light model, of course, to a much greater extent than on a dark one. This is especially true for the “face”. Yes, Apple smartphones are all so solid and monolithic, but dust will always find a place to hide, alas! She especially likes to “nest” at the edge of the display and around Touch ID. And this is already an obvious problem. If a speck of dust gets under the black fingerprint scanner, it will be much less noticeable than if this happens to any light-colored model.

And here is also the time to remember about the sensors, which are very noticeable on the white panels. Yes, a prominent Touch ID is a subjective question, but very few people find the black “holes” above the display of light versions aesthetically pleasing. However, frankly speaking, they don’t look like such an eyesore - if you don’t look closely and don’t find fault, all the elements of the white panel look quite nice. On the other hand, how can you resist the temptation to find fault with Apple? By the way, we apologize to those who didn’t notice these sensors before and now don’t know how to “unsee” them; after a while they will again seem like sheer nonsense to you.

And finally, another problem with light-colored models. Look carefully at the display and its borders - you will see a narrow thin black border around the perimeter, which the black front panel seems to “erase”, and as a result, the picture literally lies on the surface, which visually feels much cooler.

Which iPhone color is better to choose?

What's the result? But here's what - if when buying an iPhone 6S it doesn't really matter to you what color it will be, take Space Gray, you'll get a practical gadget with a cool effect on the screen (although the fingerprints on it, let us remind you, will be more noticeable). If you want color and variety, you can always buy a case.

On the other hand, what should you do if you really want a white front panel? Then forget about practicality, you still have to choose with your soul. Note that the screen of the light versions is just as good as the dark one, it just visually looks a little different. Well, don’t be afraid of experimental colors - pink and gold smartphones made by Apple look very decent! Although we remind you about the white antenna stripes on them, if you are their ardent opponent, the gray and silver models are more suitable for you.

Once upon a time I had the most beautiful iPhone in the world - a white iPhone 5.

This was the first smartphone that seemed to be carved from a solid block of silver. The idea was continued by the iPhone 5s and iPhone SE, and everything was fine with them.

But with the iPhone 6, white smartphones from Cupertino went to the wrong place. It’s as if the designers decided: let’s make one ugly phone so that other models look better!

And what do you think - they have happened. If boredom has a color, it's the white iPhone 6s. The back panel is bluish-silver, completely featureless.

Three years later, Apple came to its senses.

Gold and white iPhone 8 must be taken

When I was there, it was the black color that I was least pleased with - specific because of the glass panel that reflects light into the body. At the same time, I expressed hope: the white and gold iPhone 8 should look much better.

I was right.

If you're going to buy the eighth iPhone, you're actually making a choice between two models: white And gold.

It is enough to see them in person once to fall in love forever. They turned out to be so successful that even I wanted to change my 7 Plus to 8 Plus - yes, just because of the case.

Why? These colors simply complement the idea of ​​a glass case perfectly.

Glass back panel, white and gold background colors – magically beautiful at any time of the day. It's like the phone is glowing from the inside. I want to pick it up, just watch and enjoy. When was the last time an iPhone case evoked such emotions in you?

Light colors have other advantages. For example, fingerprints are much less visible on them. Even scratches will not be as noticeable as on the black model.

And I want to especially praise the new gold color. It looks much better in person than in any photos. I would rather call him pink, which is confirmed by the border around the camera. The side frames, however, are closer to gold.

Everyone I showed the gold iPhone 8 to was delighted. Even men, though it would seem.

If I had known that a gold-colored iPhone 8 would be so cool, I would not have rushed to buy an iPhone 7 Plus for my wife. Still, Apple still has designers from the times of Steve Jobs who can make Beautiful.

Remember: these are the best white and gold iPhones ever

My opinion: white and gold iPhone 8 are the culmination of iPhone 6 design and the absolute, final pinnacle of everything that can be squeezed out of a body of this format.

If you, like me, have been waiting for a long time really nice white iPhone- That's enough, it's time for you to go to the store. And if you need a decent gift for a girl for the holidays, you won’t find a better or more beautiful gold iPhone 8.

I advise you to go and touch both in person today. You will not regret.

At the moment, the newest iPhone is the iPhone 6s, but the iPhone 6 is still on sale, and its cost is noticeably lower. In this regard, many buyers cannot decide whether they should overpay for a new product or whether they can save a little and take last year’s flagship from Apple. In this article, we will make a detailed comparison of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s so that you can understand the difference between these smartphones and which one is worth buying.

First, let's briefly compare the characteristics of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s that have undergone the most significant changes. Firstly, new colors have appeared in the color scheme of the new iPhone. The iPhone 6 model was available only in silver and dark silver, which was officially called the pretentious name “space gray.” Now two glamorous options have been added to these two colors. It's gold and also a color that Apple calls "rose gold."

iPhone 6s color scheme

Secondly, the iPhone 6s introduced a technology called. This is practically the most important change in the new iPhone. 3D Touch measures the force applied to the screen and, depending on the force applied by the user, various functions of the operating system and programs are called up.

Working with 3D Touch on iPhone 6s

And thirdly, the iPhone 6s received a number of improvements in the hardware platform. It uses a more modern processor, as well as more RAM and internal memory. Both cameras have also changed, they received higher resolution and new features.

We hope that this article comparing iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s will help you decide on the choice and purchase of a new smartphone from Apple.

Apple has released the 6th version of the legendary mobile gadget iPhone. It is produced in two modifications (A1549 and A1586). In addition, there is a “tablet phone” iPhone 6 Plus (also two models - A1522 and A1524). Both devices, of course, fall into the premium category. How much does iPhone 6 cost? Depending on the specific national market (as well as the dealer), its price is about 30-34 thousand rubles.

How do the models differ?

How, strictly speaking, do models within the same device class differ? Let's consider each of the two modifications. Model A1549 and A1586 are actually practically the same thing. As well as A1522 and A1524 (Plus modification). It’s just that the first index is adopted for sales mainly in the USA. This model comes with a charger that is very different from the Russian one, so if we bought an iPhone A1549, then most likely we will have to purchase an additional adapter for the power adapter. But it is completely inexpensive.

In turn, the A1586 model is sold mainly in Europe. Its main technological feature is support for 20 bands within the LTE standard (while the “American” modification is only capable of working with 16). As a rule, the version sold in the USA is cheaper.

Almost the same patterns are visible when comparing A1522 and A1524. The first supports slightly fewer LTE bands and is equipped with a charger adapted to sockets used in the United States. There is a misconception among users that the “American” version of the iPhone does not work well with Russian mobile operators. This is absolutely not true, experts emphasize. iPhones are adapted to stable operation with almost all mobile operators in the world, and in all existing communication standards, including the most modern, LTE.

What's included in the package

In the factory box, the user will find the iPhone 6 smartphone itself, a proprietary headset such as EarPods, a cable for USB communication, as well as a tool for conveniently removing the SIM card from the gadget. An instruction manual is also included.

The device's power button is located on the right side (while in many others it is on the top). On the left there are keys for turning on the sound and adjusting its level. At the bottom there is a USB-Lightning connector. A nanoSIM card is inserted into the slot located on the right side of the case. Device dimensions: 138.1x67x6.9 mm.

The hardware installed in the device, as well as in other devices in the iPhone line, assumes the highest performance. All four smartphone models under the iPhone 6 brand (the differences between them are small - they mainly lie in the size of the built-in memory, but more on that later) support the latest communication technologies in 2G, 3G and 4G standards. All modifications support communication via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth version 4, as well as a modern NFC module. There is support for multimedia (traditional for iPhones), MP3, AAX, AIFF, ALAC, and WAV.

A powerful processor is a key factor in the high performance of the iPhone 6. The technical characteristics of the device, which we indicated above, according to many experts, are secondary to the role played by the dual-core, 64-bit Apple A8 chip, operating at a frequency of 1.3 GHz. The processor is complemented by the M8 module, which controls the accelerometer (acceleration meter), gyroscope, and compass integrated into the smartphone. The iPhone's graphics subsystem runs on the GX6650 chip. There is support for GPS, GLONASS.

Software

The selection of hardware components of the iPhone 6 and the technical characteristics of the device would probably not imply high performance without high-quality software. There is one in the gadget, and this is the iOS operating system in version 8. The quality of the software, according to experts and users, is the highest. Despite the fact that the smartphone only has 1 GB of RAM, there are no slowdowns or freezes in operation.

Moving between windows is very smooth, applications launch quickly. As such, the level of performance of the iPhone 6 is quite consistent with the user tasks assigned to the device.

Camera

We wrote above that the screen installed on the iPhone 6 determines great comfort in viewing multimedia content. This opportunity would probably not be complete without a quality camera. This hardware component has decent specifications. Resolution - 8 megapixels, 5 lenses in the optical system. There is a system focusing mode. According to many experts, the quality of photos taken with the Apple iPhone 6 is comparable to that typical for photos from a specialized camera.

Battery

The smartphone battery, as stated by the manufacturer, provides about 14 hours of battery life in talk mode. If the device is not actively used, it will work without recharging for about 10 days. In video playback mode, the smartphone will function for about 11 hours, when playing music - about fifty. The experts who reviewed the iPhone 6 based on testing the battery capabilities achieved, in general, comparable results.

Memory resources

iPhones traditionally have large amounts of built-in flash memory. True, Apple provides individual models within the same line with different indicators in relation to this resource. For the iPhone 6, the differences are quite significant. Depending on the specific version of the device, 16 GB of flash memory, 64 or 128 GB can be installed. At the same time, not every smartphone on competing platforms can boast at least the same 16 GB, not to mention more impressive amounts of resource.

Modification Plus

Our review of the iPhone 6 would be incomplete without examining the characteristics of one of the main modifications of the phone. We are talking about the iPhone 6 Plus. This, of course, is not a “Chinese” iPhone 6, it is a full-fledged branded version. What are the distinctive features of this device in comparison with the flagship model? The key feature of the iPhone 6 Plus is that, according to its classification, it belongs to the “tablet phone” type gadgets. That is, a kind of hybrid between a smartphone and a tablet (which is expressed primarily in the dimensions of the “plus” modification of the iPhone 6: the device body is noticeably larger than that of the flagship version - 158x78x7.1 mm).

iPhone 6 Plus: specifications

The Korean smartphone has advantages in terms of display diagonal - 5.7 inches. Also, the Samsung device has a slightly higher pixel density - 515 (versus 401 for the iPhone). The main and secondary cameras of the Galaxy Note surpass the similar hardware component of the iPhone in terms of resolution (16 and 3.7 megapixels for the “Korean”).

But does it matter that the iPhone is inferior in most technical characteristics to its closest competitor on the Android platform? Experts have differing opinions on this issue (however, this state of affairs has been observed for many years). Some experts are sure: the main thing is not “megahertz” and “megapixels”, but the balance of technologies, the level of interaction of electronic components. Even if, they believe, the processor and other microcircuits do not work so fast, but if they are stable, then such a device is, in fact, more productive than its competitor, which has nominally more impressive parameters. Apple's platform is famous primarily for its balanced hardware and the compatibility of various hardware components. And therefore, the fact that iPhones are inferior in characteristics to competitors on the Android platform, by and large, does not mean anything, many experts are sure. Apple devices have conquered the market, they believe, largely due to their stability. As well as stylish design and convenient controls. iPhone version 6 is no exception.

If you intend to buy new iPhone, this needs to be done quickly. We offer brief recommendations that will help you sell your old iPhone and buy a new one.

Do you really neediPhone 6 soriPhone 6 s Plus?

First of all, ask yourself whether you really need an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus. If you already own an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, then there is no point in upgrading. If you have an iPhone 4s, we hope you have your payment card at the ready. iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus include compelling upgrades: an improved A9 processor, a 12-megapixel camera, a new 3D Touch screen, always-on Siri and more.

What to choose: iPhone 6soriPhone 6s Plus?

If you decide to upgrade your phone, decide which iPhone you will choose. Will it be a smaller device - the iPhone 6s with a 4.7-inch display, or a larger one - the 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus. iPhone 6s comes with additional features such as image stabilization and improved landscape mode that will encourage you to choose a larger model.

Think carefully: a large iPhone is good for watching movies and using navigation, but in this size the phone is difficult to carry. The iPhone 6s walks the fine line between size and convenience: It has a screen large enough to surf the Internet, but you can still text with one hand and slip it into your pocket with ease.

What color to buyiPhone 6 s?

We are used to three color options - gold, silver and Space Gray. Apple developers have added a fourth color – rose gold. iPhone in gold or rose gold is designed for those who want to stand out from the crowd. If you like to play games and view photos on iPhone, get an iPhone in black color, as the black frame emphasizes the quality of the graphic content. If you want to hide scratches and make your iPhone look lightweight, choose a silver color. If you're not sure what color case you want and still stick your iPhone in a case, buy the color that's in stock.

What amount of memory should I choose: 16, 64 or 128 GB?

The next important point after the color and cost of the phone is the amount of memory. Given the ability to record 4K video on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, we would advise users not to buy the 16GB iPhone. Add $100 and buy the 64GB model and you won't run out of storage. If you have a huge media library, store everything on your iPhone, and use offline maps and navigation in abundance, add another $100 and buy a 128GB iPhone. With this model, you won't even fill up all the memory.

Where to sell your currentiPhone?

The best place to sell your phone is eBay if you don't mind delivery difficulties or the possibility of fraud. You will receive the maximum amount of money for your iPhone on eBay or Avito. The Avitot service does not require payment. Meet the buyer, exchange your iPhone for money and go your separate ways. Only it is better to carry out the exchange in a public place and take one more person with you. Finally, you can sell your iPhone through Apple or Amazon retailers.

The iPhone 6 is no longer a new product, but the demand for it is not going to fall; rather, it will remain at the top of smartphones for several more years, gradually becoming cheaper and becoming more accessible. In this regard, the question of which color of iPhone 6 to choose is not at all an idle whim, but a decision that can be given more time, based on the operating experience of other users.

Suppose you have already decided what size “six” you need - regular or plus, so in this article we are considering only colors that are the same for both variations. In the sixth model, Apple doesn’t indulge too much in the range, offering its customers a choice of only three iPhone 6 colors: grey, space gray and gold. What is in Russian: gray, space gray and gold.

Gray, also known as silver, and gold have a white front panel, but space gray is black, like space itself!

Let's take a closer look at each color scheme.

iPhone 6 with white bezels

The iPhone 6 gray and gold colors, as mentioned above, have white front sides. This point is extremely important for the perception of both the entire style of the phone from the outside and the content on the screen by the user. White is a departure from the usual style of multimedia device screens, and for good reason. For example, televisions are almost without exception framed with dark colors because light colors can distract the eye from the screen, a feeling that can be reinforced by the habit and expectation of seeing black around displays.

But this isn't new for the iPhone, given that the iPhone 5 is available in white and silver, as well as the iPhone 5S in white and gold. Many people have used them before without much difficulty, and the experience with the iPhone 6 suggests the same. But if you have only had dark smartphones before, it’s better to try clicking on a model with a white front side to simply find out whether this style will irritate you.

The white panel signals to anyone from afar that you are holding some kind of phone in your hands. In addition, the white frame around the screen in some cases looks advantageous. For example, when you surf, work with documents, read. Unlike media content, the dominant colors here are light, and therefore black contrast can stand out and distract.

But it is worth mentioning that the white front panel does not suit the switched-off screen at all. Especially if it is tampered with and scratched, the device may generally seem old and broken.

iPhone 6 with black bezel

Historically, black has become the most popular color for consumer electronics. The reason it was not used in previous iPhone series, including the 6th model, is that it is abnormally difficult to anodize. That is, by the time the iPhone 6 was released, Apple could not yet apply black cheaply and efficiently to aluminum cases, so that they would not peel off. But this is also a version, maybe marketers just didn’t want to market a model that would be similar to a dozen other black Android smartphones.

But still, in the iPhone 6 we see pure black on the front side of the space-gray phone, which still indicates difficulties with the technical side. This solution made it possible to bring the color scheme closer to the most practical and familiar from the user’s point of view.

The black case also looks more monolithic due to the color hiding all the seams and connectors.

Gold iPhone 6

The gold color of the iPhone 6 certainly conveys an aura of success and prosperity, high quality and elitism. On the other hand, someone may consider the gold iPhone too flashy and ostentatious, but this is only until you get to know this color of the iPhone 6 better. Apple's designers did a great job with the gold color scheme. Despite its name, it is particularly restrained and sophisticated. This is not the flashy “red” of a golden chain and a fix in place of the knocked-out teeth of a glamorized gopnik. Apple's gold shimmers with precise, high-tech anodizing that doesn't even come close to the point of vulgarity. The gold color of the iPhone 6 will appeal to connoisseurs of subtle yet luxurious design.

Gray iPhone 6

The silver color is based on pure aluminum. Clear coating on top and no further treatments. This fact promises minimal visibility of scratches and other damage to the case. The gray color of the iPhone 6 is extremely attractive in this sense.

Space gray iPhone 6

At the same time, cosmic grey colour The iPhone 6 is a result of anodizing, which means the appearance is less resistant to wear and tear. Experience using the sixth models has shown that all color solutions hold up great, but if you still want less noticeable scratches, you should choose lighter cases.

Case discoloration

Many colors tend to fade and lose saturation over time. The example with the iPhone shows that this device does not face such a fate. The color of the iPhone 6 sticks perfectly to the device and, if you haven’t scratched the case, it looks like new. It is worth noting that before the release of the iPhone 6, there were rumors that the delay in its presentation was being delayed precisely because of work on the resistance of the body colors to ultraviolet radiation. It doesn’t seem very true, but after a while we know that there is no need to worry about this.

For lovers of cases

If you plan to carry your smartphone in a case, then the question of choosing the color of the iPhone 6 comes down only to a preference for a white or black color panel. Here, be guided by your taste, or, if it doesn’t tell you anything, try to think about the above advantages of white and black panels for different types content. In short, black is games and videos; white – documents, surfing, books. The white panel is also supported by the fact that in the case of the iPhone this color is more recognizable.
