Ondrej Holzman Apple introduced a new generation of its phones. iPhone 6 is the thinnest iPhone ever at 4,7 inches. In addition to the larger display, the iPhone 6 has rounded edges compared to the previous generation, it houses a more powerful A8 chip and has a so-called Retina HD display.
For a long time, Apple avoided large screens on mobile phones. Three and a half to four inches at most should have been the ideal size for a device intended for frequent one-handed use. Today, however, Apple broke all its previous claims and presented two iPhones with larger displays. The smaller one has a 4,7-inch display and boasts the title of the thinnest product that Apple has ever produced.
In terms of design, Apple opted for shapes known from iPads, the square profile is replaced by rounded edges. The buttons for volume control have also undergone minor changes, and the Power button is now located on the other side of the iPhone 6. If it remained on the top edge of the device, it would be very difficult to reach with one hand due to the large display. According to Apple, that large display is made of ion-strengthened glass (sapphire has not yet been used) and will offer Retina HD resolution – 1334 by 750 pixels at 326 pixels per inch. This ensures, among other things, greater viewing angles. Apple also focused on using the device in the sun when making the new display. The improved polarizing filter is supposed to ensure higher visibility, even with sunglasses on.
In the bowels of the iPhone 6 hides a 64-bit processor of the new generation called A8, which with two billion transistors will offer a 25 percent higher speed than its predecessor. The graphics chip is even 50 percent faster. Thanks to the 20nm manufacturing process, Apple has managed to shrink its new chip by thirteen percent and, according to him, should have better performance during longer use.
The new processor also comes with the motion co-processor of the new generation M8, which will offer two major changes compared to the current M7 introduced a year ago – it can distinguish between running and cycling, and it can also measure the number of stairs you have climbed. In addition to the accelerometer, compass and gyroscope, the M8 coprocessor also collects data from the newly present barometer.
The camera remains at eight megapixels in the iPhone 6, but against its predecessors it uses a completely new sensor with even larger pixels. Like the iPhone 5S, it has an f/2,2 aperture and dual LED flash. The big advantage of bigger iPhone 6 Plus is optical image stabilization, which is not found in the iPhone 6 or older models. For both new iPhones, Apple used a new automatic focusing system, which should be up to twice as fast as before. Face detection is also faster. iPhone 6 will also please selfie fans, because the front FaceTime HD camera captures 81 percent more light thanks to the new sensor. In addition, the new burst mode allows you to take up to 10 frames per second, so you can always choose the best shot.
iPhone 6 brings an improved algorithm for processing photos, thanks to which there are better details, contrast and sharpness in the captured images. Panoramic shots can now be up to 43 megapixels. The video has also been improved. At 30 or 60 frames per second, the iPhone 6 can record 1080p video, and the slow motion function now supports 120 or 240 frames per second. Apple also equipped the front camera with a new sensor.
When looking at current iPhones, endurance is important. With the larger body of the iPhone 6 comes a larger battery, but that does not always automatically mean longer endurance. When making calls, Apple claims a 5 percent increase compared to the iPhone 3S, but when surfing via 6G/LTE, the iPhone XNUMX lasts the same as its predecessor.
In terms of connectivity, Apple has played around with LTE, which is now even faster (it can handle up to 150 Mb/s). iPhone 6 also supports VoLTE, i.e. calling via LTE, and Wi-Fi on the latest Apple phone is said to be up to three times faster than on the 5S. This is due to the support of the 802.11ac standard.
The big news in the iPhone 6 is also NFC technology, which Apple avoided for many years. But now, to enter the field of financial transactions, he backed off and put NFC in the new iPhone. The iPhone 6 supports a new service called Apple Pay, which uses the NFC chip for wireless payments at supported terminals. Purchases are always authorized by the customer via Touch ID, which ensures maximum security, and every iPhone has a secure segment with stored credit card data. However, for now, Apple Pay will only be available in the United States.
The iPhone 6 will go on sale next week, on September 19 the first customers will get it together with iOS 8, the new mobile operating system will be released to the general public two days earlier. The new iPhone will again be offered in three color variants as now, and in the United States the starting price is $199 for the 16 GB version. Unfortunately, Apple continued to keep this in the menu, although the 32GB version has already been replaced by the 64GB version and a 128GB variant has been added. The iPhone 6 will arrive in the Czech Republic later, we will inform you about the exact date and Czech prices. At the same time, Apple has also decided to create new cases for the new iPhones, there will be a choice of several colors in silicone and leather.

That's terrible the size of my god!!!
You talk like my neighbor :-)
well, but he complains that it's too big :D
So we probably have the same neighbor :D
Paddle
I don't see what a 5,5" phone is for. that's just pointless. I'm ruining the sale of the ipad mini.
Well, I think I'd rather sell the iPhone 6 Plus than the iPad mini, since it will cost at least twice as much :-)
but otherwise this keynote and presented products is a megafail :-(
Well, if 2 minutes of the 10 and a half hour long keynote in that stream was worth a total of 165 and a half minutes without the fee, it was good. Phones are ugly, really ugly. A raised cocka is disastrous. There will be a brothel and spins that won't be nice. He just doesn't talk about those sizes. A 55 cm 5,5 kg girl will have to hold the 350″ bag with both hands and it will still be big for her. It will be bigger than her whole head. I don't know what to think about the watch. It looks like a stethoscope when powered up. Hummus indeed. And the price is extreme. $350, so in Europe, €XNUMX is hell.
I also think the price is overkill. People will pay for the phone, but for the accessory... I don't know, I don't know. I don't think Samsung would have any sales success with it. Rather than on people's hands, I see it wandering around various bazaars.
The stream was dumb. but he ran better for me. but after the first launch, I thought the Chinese language would work for me. The phones are beautiful from the front, not much from the back, and it's a shame about the tumor in the form of a camera. But I know very few people who don't have a cover on it. The watch just doesn't look and don't want to look like a classic round watch. But after reading the pages and playing the videos, I see the potential in them. Probably like the first iPhone that couldn't do anything, but then its power showed.
Apple just dug its own grave..
Yes :-D you dug him, not the oven :D
This has been said about Apple since the first iPhone.
I'm really disillusioned with the last keynote... If only they could provide a running stream... But that every 20 seconds it cuts, jumps, ends up going back and forward again... I still heard a Chinese girl here and there... Oh the horror... Apple stops managing it, it becomes another Samsung... I don't think it's very innovative to stick the lens above the body (unless, of course, you want to earn another fortune on repairs)... They could have made it thicker and maybe stuffed another flashlight in there... I really like Apple (I used to), but what's too much is too much...
A keynote that is only once a year and not providing a video transmission..terrible. You wouldn't even want HD, but perhaps the computer company should provide a lower quality. Regarding the watch, well, Apple has taught people to wear watches with their iPhones, now they want to teach us to wear them again... 350,- Euro for our 10t... The charging seemed crazy, I don't know if Apple needs something like that. Now I'm reading Jobs's biography and I think that Jobs wouldn't have gone into something like that.
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=596265527148569&set=vb.100002953810849&type=2&theater :D I'll buy the 6 anyway, it just amused me :)
Until the last moment, I believed that Apple would not go up to 5,5″... but it surprised me. I don't like the "toys", maybe they will look better in real life, but I certainly won't trade my 5Sko for this one. For the first time in x-years I didn't watch the end…grrrr
Well, what a great weakness. This is neither a revolution as the media predicted, nor evolution. Really smiling... the phone is the ugliest in the history of the iPhone and the watch is perhaps ftip. where the last one I have been experimenting with for 3 years and trying to improve and some are actually improving, so Apple has completely fallen asleep and has not mastered the trend...
The launch of the new iPhone is just another reason why I'll be taking good care of my iPhone 4 with version 5.1.1. Although I am not saying that the equipment and functions of the new six are bad…
I'm satisfied with the 4s against the 5, I don't have anything, the "old" good Apple design is still there, and the size is ideal (as well as the 4s), but the 6, for which I was expecting some kind of revolution and the design is still from Apple, now it seems to me that it is rather samsung. Against which I always defended apple because it was apple but it was simply always the facts... and now they start making snow shovels :// which I always cursed at samsung... I expected it to come out with a diagonal of 4 and a larger version for other customers 4,7 but both are bigger ://…. everything would suit me, but the design is just not very good, and also that they cheated on us with the diagonal 4, but we'll see what the response will be from the markets where the big "shovels" don't work like that... maybe Apple will learn a lesson. BTW: didn't Steve Jobs say about IP 4 that don't want to enlarge the displays?
how much do you think the basic version of the 6 will cost?
In my opinion, it won't matter for the most part... I just don't know where to buy it... Android is humus and WP doesn't have applications,
And I've been doing it since January, I'm looking forward to how it turned out...
I am of exactly the same opinion. I was looking forward too... I'm keeping the 5s and I'll hope they last as long as possible.
nj...but I have an iP4 and a mini. Petka didn't interest me in anything, and almost immediately rumors about the fall started to swarm and I don't want to be dragged by two things anymore.
Quite disappointed after waiting for such a long time. That it has a better display is normal. I'm not interested in NFC.
The combination with a watch is not at all.
Well, maybe in time I'll give up anyway and buy a 6+
because there aren't many alternatives...in fact, none at all.
everyone here is cursing the size of the new iPhone 6 and Plus, while Apple now has 3 sizes for 3 different types of people. I don't know what to say about it. Maybe it's just that the 4-inch screen hasn't been updated, but on the other hand, after a year of experience with the 5S (otherwise, the iPhone since 3G), I haven't come across any hardware or software inadequacies. I think that those who don't want to go up with the diagonal will be fine with the 5S for another year... I personally will wait until I actually get my hands on it, but I'm already leaning towards the 6 PLUS.
I wouldn't say it better, I'm laughing at the fact that some people just don't understand that apple can't keep selling the same size.. If I don't want the 5.5, I just don't buy it, right? I could probably put up with the 4.7, but for now I'll keep the 5Sko, I don't really need the watch, so I won't buy it, I'd probably buy it just because "I've got it."
I doubt that they will make 4 inches again in a year, did they make a diagonal of 3,5 last year? The only thing that will happen is that it will improve the performance and the software nothing more. And iPhone 6 PLUS? what are ipads from? They should have done 4,4.7, XNUMX or all three tips at once, nothing would have happened either. Desing is a fact that one should look at it personally.
And something else. If I don't like Apple because of the new iPhones, as I always did before 2007, I will like it at least because of the computers and systems I grew up on (macintosh, emac, imac from the 90s, etc.). No one at school wanted to believe that I could run games from Playstaion 1 on a computer (emulator), they also didn't believe me that the CD runs from the "screen", they didn't even believe that I have a color computer (imac, os x 10.3.9 I suspect) and that everything is in the "screen" and there was more :) and that's what I always liked about Apple, that it was unique in something and that uniqueness was helped a lot by Steve Jobs, even if it's a cliché but it's a fact. Back in 1996, nobody even knew Apple and it was on the verge of bankruptcy. And most people didn't even know Apple before 2007.
The price for a 64GB iPhone 6 is $749=€ => 21000,- which is the same as the 5S, so great :)
The prices don't stay the same... On the Czech store, they have already adjusted the prices of the previous two generations and both went up by approx. 1500, so the new generation will certainly double in price, unfortunately... In a few years, the smallest capacity has climbed from 12k to approx. 19k this year... :-/
Has anyone caught the date when it will be available on the Online Store and in the physical Apple Store?
19 available and approx. from 12 reservation
I'm quite disappointed by this... when they released the 5, I welcomed the larger display, which is still comfortable to use with one hand, and when I wanted a bigger one for more comfortable work, I bought an iPad. If I had waited until today, I could have had a 2 in 1 (iP plus). I like Apple and I'm completely satisfied with it, but they should have left the 4 inches...it's a mobile after all. As for the design, it seems to me that it is moving towards the Samsung style or similar dozens. Jobs wouldn't be too thrilled about that... Just my opinion
I'm a little irritated too, but did you already have it in your hand? Their products make me happy every day :-)
I'm not. after I borrowed the Note 3, I changed my mind about the paddles. It fits in the pocket just fine, it can't be controlled with one hand, but when I hold it like that, I can control the phone with one hand really well, and it's possible to dial a number from the list, even with this size, once for the rest of the phone with both.
After the leaks, I said that if it looks like this, I don't want it and I'm going to the note. but he wouldn't bring me anything extra. On the contrary, complications with accessories.
Hopefully the 6 won't be so recognizable in my pocket, otherwise I'll almost never control my old one with one hand. The design seems like a bad joke to me, those lines on the back in the leaked photos seemed to me to be a working version during the development of the design and they really left them like that, the 5S looked much better.
I'll take the 6, the 6+ is a terrible paddle and a step next to Apple, Jobs must be turning in his grave.
A step next to Apple? Why would Apple step on itself?
Go to hell with all that crap about turning in your grave...
In addition, you are embarrassing normal users and iOvceeee is right at you
I was also against the displayum ones. But after trying the galaxy note I have no problem with it. in pocket ok it's already a paddle in your hand, but the advantages are quite significant. So I'll try it first and see. I also said that if the iPhone is leaking, I'll go elsewhere, but if I take it, Samsung or Sony won't give me anything extra, and the rest of the apple store would be useless to me.
4.7″ is a good choice, I had a 4.2″ Android phone myself and it was great, for me 5″ is the maximum, but 5.5″ is already too much…
I really like the iPhone, hurry up and buy a Samsung. Without Jobs they are vp……
ahooo :-) I want to ask, when do you think they will be available in the Czech Republic?
like every year. a couple of pieces at the turn of March/October. if you can stand 2 nights in front of some tmobile, etc. if not, I got the 5S sometime in November.
You'd better not even read the comments on the news :D it's a fact that the most complex people are always rampaging there or take a look there and give them something for that. But it's hardcore there as always :D well, just for fun and the best thing is that in the real world they wouldn't say anything they write to your face because they don't have the skills and their knees would knock ;)
Well, I'm pretty clear about that. Kalousek is responsible for the iPhone 6 Plus.
Well, I originally overdid it… the class is over and I'm drooling. :D
The phones didn't surprise with anything, but they didn't offend either. Me personally at this time, mistake.
1. wireless charging, I really don't understand why they haven't done it already.
2. wireless headphones from Apple, I expected them to make one mobile conservative with a 3,5 jack and one more progressive, where I will be supplied with headphones, e.g. DrDre
3. I was finally waiting for a phone resistant to water and dust, but nothing, the company often has drowned iPhones and damaged connectors.
4. I expected that Apple would finally enter the home, e.g. take over the standard for communication within the home, in this I was disappointed by Samsung, which also produces consumer electronics, but for their most expensive device not to be able to send me a notification on my phone that it has been delivered is embarrassing .. (just to be sure, I have a family home, the door is up, I'm watching a movie and I don't hear it, so it's analog in 2014).
Of course, if Apple knew that you often deal with drowned iPhones and clogged connectors in the company, I am sure that it would have developed a water and dust resistant phone.
Yes, great sarcasm, but I've been calling Apple users for water resistance and dust resistance for a long time. in my opinion, it's a far bigger feature than the fact that the camera can shoot slo-mo with 240 shots per second.
It's an advantage for Sony, for example. But. if I want water resistance, I also have impact resistance associated with it. and there S5 or Sony Z mountain range. Therefore, if I know that I need a proper smartphone and water resistance and shock resistance, there are countless covers for the iPhone and I take the increase in the case as a small tax. I definitely want to buy lifeproof for iphone 6
Wireless charging currently makes no sense and would be a step backwards. I'd rather have the phone in the dock or use it while charging on the cable than to have to keep it lying on something or disconnect it from the charger every time I need to pick it up. That's just a shout out to something that looks interesting but is highly impractical. This technology is aimed at something completely different - for devices in a waterproof package, because of which they cannot be connected conductively to the source. But it would be a serious spring on a non-mobile phone.
The iPhone 6 has one major drawback that will make me never buy one. Too big display. Its predecessor, the iPhone 5(s), was no longer very usable due to its size. This is just another beginning of the end for Apple. As long as Steve Jobs was there, Apple products had their own logic. Well, I'd rather not say a word about the iPhone 6 Plus... The last usable piece is the iPhone 4s, which, however, is not enough today in terms of performance or equipment.
iPhone 5s is still available. I think phones make sense up to about 4,3" diagonal. dal already, in my opinion, it is completely useless and only aimed at increasing the price of the product.
Anything over 4″ is too much for me. With the iPhone 5(s), I already have a problem controlling it with one hand, which is essential for me with a similar phone, as I often have the other hand occupied (holding on to a handrail in public transport, holding another object such as a bag, etc.).
I have a 4s... please, how is the performance and equipment not enough? the only thing it doesn't have is LTE and NFC (Near Field Communication), otherwise everything is like the latest Apple model... it performs well on the sevens and doesn't stop at all...
In terms of performance and compatibility - I won't run some applications on it at all, because they are only supported for iPhone 5+ and others run too slowly. I don't use NFC, so it's not an obstacle for me, instead I consider LTE quite important. 3G will be with us for "a while", but not for long, and most importantly, unlike LTE, it is only in maintenance mode and is not actively expanding. Where there will be LTE in a few weeks or months, I won't be able to catch 3G anymore, not to mention the speed in places where both networks are available. LTE also has greater availability in forests, closed buildings, etc.
You have an error in the article. As far as I know, the iOS 8 public release date in the presentation was September 17.9, not September 19.9. with new phones.
Read carefully, then speak: "The iPhone 6 will go on sale next week, the first customers will get it with iOS 19 on September 8, the new mobile operating system will be released to the general public TWO DAYS EARLIER" That's 17/9, I think.
Apple is simply a jewel. Go check out the store, grab the slanderous design in your hand and talk! Whatever you buy from Apple will make you happy every day! Moreover, it works as it should! I look at all the products from within a centimeter and admire the sophistication! Something like when you find a shiny pebble on the beach :-)
Do you do anything else?
No :) I just look at Apple products closely and my mom gives me money for them ;)
From the beginning, the design has only gone downhill, I didn't buy the 5 because of the elongated shape, and the sixth disappointment is the same Samsung design with an aluminum back
The design is quite nice, but in terms of size, it is no longer a phone for me and my small hand. 5s was the limit for me and I sometimes have a problem with manipulation in one hand. So a little disappointment for me :/
apple is ... doesn't like the first impression of the idea of modified tools for a certain humanity and creativity. the hardware design of the form and the software functionality of the content from apple is an inspiration. the quality of the materials used is of the essence. it is a nice technological creation... evange l.
I have to say for myself that I don't like the enlargement of the displays, but the 4.7" still works quite well. However, 5.5″ is completely out of the question, I think that Apple's sales plan will not fulfill this oversized phone. Well, we will see.
But the main reason why I won't buy an iPhone 6 is the design. I don't like her at all. From the beginning, all iPhones looked simply luxurious, they managed to catch the eye at first sight. The iPhone 6 can't do that, it looks like a completely ordinary phone. For a phone for some 18-20 thousand crowns, I would imagine a better design. The protruding lens is also not exactly a glory... The whole back of the phone looks terrible.
I've never liked the crap that Jobs must be turning in his grave, or that Apple is screwed without Jobs... I can't help but feel the same way after today's keynote.
I have an entire bar full of apples, but I'm more and more embarrassed by new products and operating systems.. And the newer iPhone 6, I can't hold it with one hand anymore - my thumb came out like that on the ip 5 :-( And make the lens of the lens a support leg , on which the whole thing will limp and scratch the lens, Jony Ive must have gone completely crazy :-( Not to mention the unified design à la Korea. I was rather expecting an improvement in signal reception, wi-fi and battery life .. And watches? American blacks the gold version will go well with gold chains .. And where is the new Apple TV ??
A disappointment for me - unfortunately!
I expected more from the iPhone and from "such a terribly important event". I won't judge the design until I get a chance to touch it, but I'm glad apple got rid of the boxy design. The iP5 is hard to hold and the sharp edges push. But the 4,7″ display size? already on the 4″ iP5, I have trouble swiping with one hand when I want to go back a level. Now I just can't get my thumb in there…yeah sure, I hold the phone a little higher but then I get a bad grip on the keyboard and the one handed control just falls off…Why isn't it waterproof? They could have brought him to the stage in the aquarium together with the beautiful fishes... take him out and start the presentation, surely the guys would have figured out how to turn it into a show... well, I don't see, I still think that Apple is not that far ahead of the competition. He has slowed down a lot… he is breaking his own rules…
I agree with the sharp edges, the iphone 3g stuck to me the best
Do you know if the phone will be available for pre-order in the Czech Apple Store?
I know all too well that the disgusting photo sticks out of the body of the phone, so why the blood, it can't be seen in the pictures where the iP is shown from the side?? If only Apple wasn't very proud of that photo..
Any packaging that compares it will give it anyway.. there is nothing to solve.
If there is nothing to solve, they could ditch the stripes or do it in a camouflage design ;)
According to everything, Tim Cook is probably a good boss, he is probably a very good businessman, but when he gets on the podium to present something, I always get the impression of a comical wannabe retard.
I don't believe Tim's performances either.. He looks like Horst Fuchs on opiates. The camera can't be made any thinner yet. Optics need space.
I've been an Apple fan since Ip and I won't allow Airbook... But... This makes me sure that Apple is pulling the short end of the stick... He presented a watch that he hasn't finished (he never gave it.. He's probably desperate for Samsung), there's nothing new at all in the ip 6 … No innovation, the marketing will be done by the lady from GAP (image winners over innovation and IT solutions), they have been avoiding NFC for years because it’s a joke for locked devices, and now suddenly it’s possible when there will be money from the payment fee… And it will be can it be used to download photos from fotak? I doubt it.. A mouth full of empty words about the best and most perfect products... It's sad... If I compare it to my wife's note 3, I'd cry, 64gb + 64gb, file sharing millions of ways, run what I want and how I want, speed super ... And what's the scariest thing... I can see that Android has caught up and even overtaken the OS, it's easier, better notifications, easier and better set up... It's sad to admit that Apple fell asleep... and with my second ip 5s I'm suffering from a scary low battery life ( it's new), I borrowed a note3 and it's fine in the evening with 30% battery ... so I ask myself why should I spend 24 thousand for an ip6? I haven't found a reason why. Steve rise from the dead! Please
