Filip Novotny Just a few years ago, such a thing would have been completely unthinkable. The huge white sails made of cheap plastic and imitation leather, which Apple fans loved to mock, suddenly became the prototype of the new generation of Apple phones. The Californian company finally responded to a clear trend in the mobile market and started a completely new chapter in its history. The iPhone 6 Plus is here, and it's our job to evaluate what the most radical iteration of the iPhone family means after a fortnight of testing.
iPhone 6 Plus is bigger
Yes, the iPhone 6 Plus is indeed “Bigger. Format.”, as Apple a bit clumsily declares on its Czech website. However, the question is how the iPhone manufacturer dealt with this format. Let's start at the most basic, but still very important level - the simple size of the device and the comfort that these dimensions allow.
As I mentioned in the beginning of the article, it's been almost 14 days since I've been using the iPhone 6 Plus. Still, my hands have not yet exhausted all the possibilities of how to grip this huge phone comfortably and securely. I'm often groggy, have to use both hands, and once managed to send my phone on a terrifying trip towards the floor. Already in our first impressions you could have read that the larger of the iPhones introduced this year is gigantic compared to previous generations. This feeling did not go away even after prolonged use; every time you pick up the phone, you are amazed by its display area. That's when the iPhone 6 Plus seems a little bigger than it necessarily needs to be.
You can tell it most of all if you carry your phone in your pocket. While with the iPhone 5 it was easy to forget that you even have such a device with you at the moment, you will always feel the iPhone 6 Plus in your pocket. Especially if you own pants with smaller pockets or are a believer in skinny jeans, the issue of comfort should be taken into account when considering a larger phone. In short, the iPhone 6 Plus is sometimes better in a bag or coat pocket.
The size of the phone is also necessarily reflected in the way we hold it and how we interact with it. The derisive message created several phone generations earlier during the case is making a comeback Antennagate – "You're holding it wrong". The iPhone 6 Plus clearly needs a change in the way it is held. Only those gifted with really large hands will be able to afford to hold the phone in the same way as the previous, smaller generation – i.e. firmly gripped in the palm with the thumb free to operate the entire display. This is now only possible with difficulty.
Instead, you can hold the phone on its top half, keeping the lower controls out of reach. In that case, however, you will lose the Reachability function (which, after double-tapping the home button, scrolls the upper half of the display below - the opposite approach would be more appropriate for this grip). The best solution is to place the iPhone on your fingers and, for a better possibility of maneuvering the display, support the phone with your little finger.
It's a strange balancing act, but if you don't want to operate the device with both hands, there's nothing you can do. In addition, if you use your iPhone really actively and often switch between different applications with different controls, you can't avoid moving the phone around in your fingers or using it with both hands anyway.
In one respect, the larger dimensions of the iPhone 6 Plus could be taken as a completely beneficial, even god-like thing. If you were used to regularly violating traffic regulations and while driving a car, at the same time shifting gears with your right hand and operating your phone with, say, the navigation on, the iPhone 6 Plus will safely unlearn this bad habit. Five and a half inches of touchscreen plus five or more gears on the gear lever is simply not something you can juggle with one hand.
Precise, but less distinctive
But now seriously again. The size of the iPhone 6 Plus takes some getting used to, and even then it might not seem quite ideal; On the other hand, what one gets used to very quickly is the new design. It can make an impression surprisingly quickly, and the initial embarrassment, for example, from the strange lines on the back of the device are there. The antennas do not disturb the compact appearance of the phone in any significant way - at least for the gray model. They are much more noticeable in light versions.
Whichever model we look at, after a few days of use, the design genius of the use of rounded edges becomes apparent. The smooth transition of the display to the edges fulfills two functions at once - it cleverly masks the size of the device and at the same time contributes significantly to the phone's unique appearance. The light reflections on the rounded glass of the iPhone 6 Plus are simply the definition of eye-candy.
Where the iPhone 5 seemed to be technically precise and perfect, the iPhone 6 Plus goes one step further - however two years ago it might have seemed that nothing could surpass the generation of that time. Everything fits the iPhone six, down to the smallest details. The edges are perfectly rounded, the buttons have no clearance, the double flash has been combined into one more attractive unit.
However, if we compare the different generations of the iPhone, it is fair to mention that the iPhone 6 Plus has lost some of its character compared to its predecessors. While the iPhone 5 was a self-confident and even "dangerous" looking device in the black version, the iPhone 6 Plus appears more like a more moderate device benefiting from the design of the very first generation of the Apple phone. For the sake of completeness, we should also not forget to mention the traditionally mentioned beauty flaw – the protruding camera lens on the back.
More usable (with caveats)
While design is an essential part of every Apple product, ultimately, how the device is used is more important. Even more so if we are used to 4-inch displays and suddenly have to deal with a 5,5-inch phone. At the same time, it is not only about the ergonomics of the hardware itself, we have already partially described this in the previous paragraphs. The far more important question is how a larger phone can use the huge newly acquired space. Has Apple found a way to adapt apps for a form factor standing between the iPhone 6 and the iPad mini? Or does it lack a meaningful concept or even just "inflate" existing small applications?
Apple has decided to take a two-pronged approach – offering customers two ways to use their iPhone 6 Plus. The first is the mode that we would probably traditionally expect from a change in the size and resolution of the phone, i.e. maintaining the same size of all control elements, but increasing the workspace. This means a row of icons on the main screen more, more space for photos, documents and so on.
But Apple has decided to add a second option, which it refers to as Display Zoom. In this case, the icons, controls, fonts and other system components are enlarged, and the iPhone 6 Plus essentially becomes an overgrown iPhone 6. The entire iOS then appears somewhat comical and evokes an operating system from a phone for retirees. Honestly, I can't imagine an opportunity where I would welcome such an approach to the operating system, on the other hand, it is at least nice that Apple did not forget about an important aspect of Display Zoom - support for third-party applications. According to our testing, they also adapt to the user's preferred mode.

Until then, you'll have to make do with apps that look grotesque in size. (On the other hand, they beautifully illustrate how Apple would burn out if it completely gave up on optimizing the system for larger diagonals.) The only consolation is that the Californian firm really didn't lie about the quality of the upscaling, which ensures far better sharpness than what we witnessed in the transition on Retina displays. However, even after the redesign for iPhone 6 Plus, the user experience of some third-party apps may not be ideal for some time. Some developers do not yet know how to deal with the newly accessible space for their software. (We can also see a similar problem with some websites that developers optimize for around 4-inch devices and then up to tablets.)

One key component of the iPhone 6 software Plklávesnici. In the portrait view, it acquires exactly such dimensions that it is still comfortable enough for one-handed operation - as it became clear with the arrival of larger iPhones, the problem is not only too small, but also potentially too large software keys. When we turn the phone to landscape, a pleasant surprise comes (at least for those who didn't follow the keynote closely at the beginning of the month).
Several other control elements appear on the sides of the classic QWERTY keyboard. On the right side, there are basic punctuation symbols, but also arrows for moving the cursor left and right within the text. The left side is then occupied by buttons for copying, extracting and pasting text, formatting it (in applications that allow it) and also the Back button. This state is clearly more beneficial for typing with both thumbs than simply spreading the keys, which would probably be a bit excessive. However, for use with a Smart Cover stand and use for faster multi-finger typing, the iPad is still better suited.
For those who would not like the default keyboard, iOS 8 presents the opportunity to choose from a number of others, offered by established and new developers. Among those that have already established themselves in the Android ecosystem are, for example, Swype, SwiftKey or Fleksy. But we can also find newcomers who offer, for example, a keyboard that takes up less space at the bottom of the display or, for example, a completely normal iOS keyboard moved to the right (or left) side of the device for better one-handed operation. It is this extension that evokes the idea that Apple included the option of choosing from multiple keyboards in iOS 8 just for the iPhone 6 Plus. It is a promise of greater customization for those who would otherwise find the phone too large and clumsy.
Inspired by a tablet
The iPhone 6 Plus can easily fall into the category that Android devotees would label as phablets. So when we accept that our phone has become a bit of a tablet despite the initial resistance to this idea, we should start looking for places where the new iPad phones really resemble.
At first glance, the six-figure iPhones already take an example from the design of the iPad Air and iPad mini, but we have already talked enough about the appearance of the new phones. Far more interesting is the range of software options that we haven't seen with previous generations. All of them are connected to the landscape view and start at the home screen itself. The home screen can now also be used in "landscape" mode, with the application dock moving to the right side of the device.
A number of basic applications have also been updated. You will be pleased with the better processing of News, Calendar, Notes, Weather or Mail, which display more information at once or enable faster switching between different contents. However, adaptation to larger display sizes is not yet perfect – the layout of some applications in landscape mode is not pleasant to use, and others may not have dealt with it at all. For example, the lists and overviews within the App Store are confusing and contain unnecessarily little content at once, while the Health application prefers to completely abandon the "landscape" view.
However, when we take the mentioned changes round and round, the iPhone 6 Plus really replaces the tablet in a number of things. This will give Apple a new market share, cannibalization issues and so on, but those aspects are not important now. For users, the arrival of the iPhone 6 Plus means the possibility to completely abandon the iPad, especially for those who were used to using the iPad mini. The 5,5-inch screen is great for surfing, reading news and watching movies on the go.
Precisely because the iPhone 6 Plus is a practical device for a wide range of activities, tablet "inspiration" in the form of a larger battery is more than useful. The smaller of the new iPhones remained more or less at the level of the iPhone 5s in terms of durability, but the 6 Plus model is much better. Some reviewers even reported that their phone lasted two whole days.
I can say for myself that it is possible, but only partially. At first, due to the poor endurance of my iPhone 5, I was used to save money on my phone and left a large part of my digital activities to the iPad mini or MacBook Pro. At that moment, I really comfortably lasted the next day with the phone without charging.
But then came the gradual abandonment of the iPad and, for less complex activities, the MacBook. I suddenly started playing more games on my iPhone, watching movies and series on the bus or train, and with that, of course, the battery life also deteriorated. In short, the iPhone has become such a usable device that you really use it all the time and all day long. So expect that you won't have to limit yourself in using your phone, but you probably won't avoid daily (or nightly) charging.
More capable and powerful
Before we get into the next part of this review, let's clarify the subtitle used above. Rather than the dazzling performance of the iPhone 6 Plus, we're going to talk about its new capabilities. The reason for this is the fact that recently Apple phones do not age as quickly as they did with earlier updates (hardware and software). Even the two-year-old iPhone 5 has no major problems handling iOS 8.
What's more, although the iPhone 6 Plus is a fraction of a second faster in animations, is better at opening more and more applications, and will surely become the scene of technologically amazing 3D games in the coming months, the performance of its processor and graphics chip will be wasted from time to time. It is more of a system error than the hardware itself, but a complete product is expected from Apple on the first day of sale. Far more often than with previous Apple mobile products, we encounter inexplicable stuttering during animation, unresponsiveness to touch gestures or even freezing of the entire application with the iPhone 6 Plus. During two weeks of use, I encountered these problems in Safari, Camera, but also in Game Center or directly on the lock screen.
Therefore, rather than the performance, let's take a look at the new functions that the iPhone 6 Plus received in the associated improvement of the phone's photographic side, so let's start with it. Although we won't find more pixels under the alarmingly protruding camera lens, the iPhone 6 Plus's camera surpasses previous generations. Both in terms of image quality and available functions.
Photos taken by the iPhone 6 Plus are more accurate in color, sharper, less "noise" and undoubtedly belong to the top in the field of mobile phones. You may not recognize the image improvement in comparison photos between the iPhone 5s and 6 Plus, but the fundamental difference is in the conditions under which the largest of the Apple phones is able to take pictures. Thanks to hardware innovations in the form of optical stabilization and so-called focus pixels, you can photograph moving objects and use the camera even while walking or in poor lighting conditions. Compared to lower (we can also say smaller) models, the phone is able to focus in a fraction of a second.
The software side of the phone will then take care of the further improvement of the image, which the user does not even know about. The camera offers an improved HDR Auto option, thanks to which the iPhone (if necessary) takes several pictures at once and then combines them appropriately into the best possible result. Of course, this function does not work 100% and sometimes results in unnatural color or light transitions, but in most situations it is very practical.
Video recording is a separate chapter for the iPhone 6 Plus. It has received several improvements, and not only thanks to the already mentioned optical image stabilization. The default Camera app can now record time-lapse videos as well as slow motion at 240 frames per second. Although these are not functions that you will use every day, as one of the available tools within a comprehensive recording device, these innovations are certainly welcome.
Even on the iPhone 6 Plus, time-lapse videos, or more simply English timelapse, face an inconvenience that comes from its very nature. You need a longer period of time to record them. I'm not pointing out this very obvious aspect here because of my poor opinion of the readers' intelligence, but because the iPhone 6 Plus can't quite handle the longer recording time very well. Where optical and digital image stabilization saves a normal shaky video or photograph of an object in motion, it has no idea when it comes to timelapse.
When shooting handheld, we do not achieve such perfect shots as with the Hyperlapse application from Instagram, even when the phone is apparently sufficiently supported. After all, the iPhone 6 Plus has some weight, and even its dimensions clearly do not help with sufficient support for filming. Therefore, it is better to use a tripod to take time-lapse videos.
The second function mentioned, slow motion, is not completely new to iPhones – we already know it from the iPhone 5s. However, the new generation of Apple phones has taken it a step further by doubling the possible slow-motion recording speed to an impressive 240 frames per second. However, it should be noted that for most cases the original 120 fps is fully sufficient, producing shorter videos with less distorted sound.
An even greater deceleration is only suitable for really interesting situations (fast dancing, jumping into the water, various acrobatic stunts, etc.) or macro shots, otherwise the deceleration can be too great. Slow motion at 240 frames per second naturally produces very long videos. From the logic of photography, it is also harder to deal with poor lighting conditions. In low light it is better to stay at 120 fps and avoid excess noise.
Leaving aside the glamor of the new camera, most of the phone's capabilities are tied to the operating system. Yes, the A8 chip brings a 25% increase in performance and even 50% in terms of graphics, but we will know this perhaps in a few weeks and months after the release of modern games and other demanding applications. But as it was said a few paragraphs back, built-in applications at some moments are not enough even half the increase in performance and sometimes they simply freeze. This problem is certainly at the expense of the operating system, as well as the creeping thought that the new hardware and larger display could have been handled better. In short, iOS 8 is just a polished iOS 7, but it still retains somewhat sharp edges and does not go far enough in innovation.
záver
Many of you may be waiting for the verdict, which of the new iPhones is ultimately better, more comfortable, more Apple-like. And believe me, he would. But to be honest, even I still haven't quite decided which of the pair of six phones I would call the better choice. This is because it is a highly individual matter and the advantages (or disadvantages) are not so fundamental for either model that it is immediately clear.
But one thing is certain: you get used to the larger dimensions – whether it's 4,7 or 5,5 inches – very quickly, and the iPhone 5 seems like a child's toy in comparison. Even a staunch fan of the old Apple Steve Jobs will then understand why Android users mocked Apple phones so much.
The iPhone 6 Plus is far from perfect – it's too big for comfortable one-handed use, it sometimes handles the newly available space clumsily, and its operating system deserves a series of really big updates. However, it is certain that the iPhone family has a whole new chapter ahead of it. The change, which many users resisted so much (and I was one of them), will eventually come in handy for all gamers, readers, photographers, but also other users who like to use their phone to create and consume various audiovisual content. And in the end, it should also be good for Apple, for which the iPhone 6 Plus could serve as a springboard for further innovation in the field of mobile phones, where development - it seems - is slowly slowing down.
So, although the content of the article is nice, its grammatical and stylistic level is quite low. Somewhere between the elementary school and the school. You should work on yourself, or hire a professional editor to read the article and correct inappropriate wording and incorrect grammar. ;)
And I thought it was an article about phones?! No high school diploma...., Yet another rejpal who doesn't even appreciate the fact that someone takes the trouble to write such an article for the rest of us.
Sure, you're right, it's an article about phones. Why bother with inflection or timing at all. And let's write some i/y completely randomly, after all, it's an article about phones and spelling doesn't matter. Maybe we should propose to the Institute for the Czech Language that they make some kind of exception for articles about phones... Sorry, mate, but your opinion is that of an idiot. :-)
I don't want to be a nitpicker, but read my comment from a year ago:-)) There might be something there too:-))
so what? he doesn't write articles for hundreds of readers... you should have a certain level...
What the fuck are you talking about? So don't read this dude if you have a problem..
I want articles on websites, books, magazines, etc. to be of a certain level in terms of grammar and the Czech language. I have never felt anything special about it, on the contrary, I take it as a natural standard. due to your primitive outpouring, I understand that similar things are not exactly a priority for you. I reported the post..
You were probably bullied a lot at school, huh? … but you still need it
no, I just don't like it when someone I don't know insults me simply because of a common opinion. is that so special? :D does someone have to bully a person so he doesn't like it? Where are you from? :D
1. You retard, I just started cursing you. I don't see in my previous posts that I'm cursing you. When you write an article like this and it's tutti frutti without mistakes and hundreds of people read it, sign up, they've built something and proved it, so far you're complete shit. 2. Don't ask where I'm from, because when I find out where you're from, I'll probably hear you soon ;)
I reported you again :-) there is probably no point in explaining anything to you, so bye
You intelligent, especially that you have a "selfie" with "Sebastián, the dolphin from our dishwasher" ... a teenager who still has milk coming from his mouth and will require a grammar level here... I've had enough. Someone upset me again for the evening. ..
please don't take anything out of it, just don't be so rude and you won't have a ruined evening. then everyone will be satisfied..
I take it that you don't like profanity, that really doesn't belong here, but to teach someone about grammar and then chop up such rudeness (now I don't mean hooks and commas - on the other hand, if you are teaching others, you should have put in the work, even if you are typing on the phone), I somehow didn't understand that. So first I recommend sweeping in front of your own doorstep.
1. I don't write articles for the media 2. if I were to write them and I would write them with errors without editing by the editor and someone pointed it out to me, then I would acknowledge that the articles in the media should not really contain errors, I would be ashamed that I can't write and the following I'll be careful or ask the editor to check my article..
I definitely wouldn't dig around and point out the mistakes of others, that won't fix the grammar, will it? what the hell is wrong with you guys? Do you really want bad articles to be publicly written? or what is this about?
Oh my God, don't get upset about it....so I just don't go, don't respect it and go to another website. I wouldn't want to offend you, but you're a sorry snot who has done absolutely nothing and you're going to lecture someone. You're really going to graduate from high school without anywhere to study pedagogy, and then you're going to enjoy it somewhere in the classroom behind the department, where your smart words will probably have to mature. Cya
what are you talking about? you don't even know me.. if I don't come here and I don't clean it, will the media level improve? where the hell do people like you go? You don't... my opinion and if you don't mind then don't respect them and I'm paraphrasing your logic illogically..
That was not the case. That was just an empty criticism ;-) If the original contribution had been at least a little constructive and a few specific things should have been pointed out, I doubt that the debate would have continued as it did. Anyone can write a contribution in the style of "You've got two things!" ;-) Such a contribution has absolutely no benefit.
It was a prompt, read it again. I praise the article, it says what can be worked on, what it thinks is the weakest part, it even suggests a solution. I really don't see why you need to drop it. please read it again, from some primitive criticism and shouting: "they are morons", which I would understand, after what you wrote, it is really far:
"Thus, although the content of the article is good, its grammatical and stylistic level is quite low. Somewhere between the elementary school and the school. You should work on yourself, or hire a professional editor to read the article and correct inappropriate wording and incorrect grammar."
No, it's not really profitable at all. It is to be expected that if the author recognizes all the mistakes, he will correct them. So it would be useful to write down some concrete mistakes... This is really useful.
look, there are 2 ways, either under each article someone will annoy the author with where he/she made a wrong i/y, where he/she didn't put a comma where it should have been, he/she will simply list specific mistakes OR he/she will write once to be careful about it and they start using the editor.
from my point of view, the second way is much more suitable, it won't anger the author so much, and above all, it will solve the problem immediately. it will not gradually teach the author the way in the style of "you still have a mistake here, correct this word".
If Jablickar were some big professional website, then OK. But this file is such a fan thing. Therefore, it seems logical to me that editors, etc. I don't have, and even the best editors make mistakes. And yes, I find it more useful to point out a specific error. I make a living from writing and I like to know what I'm doing wrong ;-)
Well, the commenter probably didn't want to appear smug and arrogant, it's simply more tasteful to advise decently that the editor will pay more attention, rather than specifically correcting these errors. but if it's the author's fault, then ok.
otherwise Jablickar is fine, I don't see anything wrong with the comments suggesting quality improvement. he definitely does not deserve aggressive insults and attacks. I'm a little afraid that when the author is specifically corrected here, the discussions here will be full of offtopic nonsense about how someone is terribly stupid and uneducated, because I'm interested in improving the quality of the server :-)
I also don't mean that you write out all the mistakes. But it is not out of the question to draw attention to a certain type of error in one sentence. A reasonable author will take this to heart and try to be careful of such mistakes next time. It's a long run, but you can't get better without it :-)
Otherwise, having an editor is of course nice (I wouldn't just release something on the website without proofreading either), but there isn't always money for that. And then there are websites (idnes, novinky) where they do have him, but apparently he has the worst level of Czech in the whole editorial team :-D
Please, can you finally show us here exactly where the mistakes are, instead of those regiments. We are all interested in this and we will be happy if you point out any mistakes!
When I honor it, not only because of the photo, I think about you - you have a beer cube in your brain.
This is seriously pathetic, how everyone here attacks and downright insults the person who points out the mistakes in the article. :-)) In such moments I always realize that Zeman and cssd won the election and everything makes sense.
My original contribution was not intended for discussion, it was simply the ultimate truth - there are errors in the article and some passages are poorly styled. If a print or internet medium is serious and wants to create quality content, a certain grammatical and stylistic level is an inherent part of that.
And finally, whether the author of the comments has proven something in the discussion or not and whether he himself writes grammatically correctly or not is, I'm afraid, completely irrelevant and, from the point of view of the logic of things, a completely meaningless argument. :-)
All? In my opinion, David is the only one who was targeted, and my reaction was also aimed at him. You're right, I originally wanted to read the comments about ip6 and instead there's just (for me) unnecessary discussion.
At least my cube of beer has a title, probably not the same for yours. I came to read about the new iPhone. Some ***** came here ****** to solve everything but the phone. You "Fish, Jan Záruba, At" et al. I would be very interested in your life creations that you present for free. I don't understand why everyone in this ****** country has to hate and ******* about something and be eternally dissatisfied with something. Sweep in front of your doorstep and present yourself with something other than ******* bullshit! And Mr. In addition to the speeches, Záruba should mention here the grammatical mistakes that he talked about so terribly and which the author of the article criminally committed and he must not forget a single one just as the author was not allowed to make a single one!
Speaking of Czech, it is spelled standard. ;-).
Jeez, you're a wanna-be-important piece of shit.
is it excluded? the article about phones must be written wrong? I appreciate the effort of the author, I like to read the articles and yes, grammar is not the main thing, on the other hand, the articles should have a certain level. there should be an editor who checks how the article is written. Thanks
Wouldn't it be better to write, for example, specific examples of what is so badly written in the article ;-)? Personally, I didn't find it particularly unsuccessful. I'm used to reading Mr. Zavřel's competition too, and there it's more like an unfinished elementary school level. Jáblíčkář acts like the New York Times :-D
you've only seen the New York Times on TV
On the other hand, you are discussing the file at the level of Novinek.cz readers ;-)
Good day. If you find a grammatical error in any of our text, there is nothing easier than to give a clear and specific message about it in the comments. I regret to inform some of the discussants that the position of editor is unfortunately not available in our editorial office, so they have to look elsewhere for the meaning of life. I wish everyone more meaningful, factual discussions in the future.
Some people are just obsessed grammar nazis. It's better to ignore them. Exactly as you write - if someone finds a mistake, write it down. Otherwise, thank you for the nice review. I've had the Pluska since yesterday and I can't praise it enough :)
mindraky, the author of the article has a file, which, after drawing attention to the act, immediately needs to throw down and ridicule. this is not a normal self-confident reaction to criticism. I really don't get it, after pointing out the error, an incredible carousel of stupidity spins here.
Nowhere in the entire discussion was the error pointed out. You are obviously the one who doesn't understand the Czech language. To write that there are errors and that the style is bad is NOT pointing out the error. Write "The sentence XYZ does not make sense.", this is a warning about the error.
no one wants the author to correct a specific i/y sentence. the author is asked to have the article checked by an editor, who should check the errors in the article.
OK, in that case, let's distinguish between the wording "incentive for improvement" and "notice of error". The first is that maybe they should hire an editor, the second is to tell you where you went wrong so you can fix the thing.
Otherwise, I wouldn't stand up for the "at" user so much. He could have written it better too. For example, by writing that he found quite a few errors in the text and would like to ask if Jablíčkář pays an editor? That could start a more decent discussion. Instead, however, he reduced himself to formulations such as "the level on the border between primary and secondary school". It was thanks to these insults that it started such a heated debate...
you're right that "at" shouldn't have used a sentence with an expletive, which is unnecessarily offensive. on the other hand, I think that if you're going to criticize someone for inappropriate behavior, there are much worse posts in the comments that you should write under.
I really wouldn't blur it out. I think that all normal people want the highest quality website possible, and every normal person takes it positively to point out errors intelligently and on a level and to give suggestions for improvement. let's appreciate it.. no one threw a spin on the server or the author, nor do I think that anyone meant anything like that.
Sure, cool, closed topic :-)
it looks like it's from samsung. It's design crap and it won't improve a buggy iOS
Good day, today I picked up my iPhone 6 at the store and I'll tell you, in my opinion the best Apple phone I've owned, and I've had it regularly since the 3GS, is the 5S. Design, size, speed, practicality... The six is probably too much, and I'm still a bit sad... I wouldn't be surprised at all if Apple introduced a 4-inch iPhone mini next year... I'll see in a few days...
this is what I thought when I bought the iPhone 5. I thought 3,5″ was just perfect. but i got used to it. :) in time it will be 4,7″ and iPhone 5/5S will be too small... :)
I see that here it has degenerated into something completely different ;) Anyway, thanks for the included article ;)
Great review, thanks for the article, I am completely satisfied. I have already ordered the phone since last March and unfortunately I will have to wait for it until November 7th, and such knowledge and reviews will only please me, so thank you! ;)
When I was 4-5-5 years old, I quite often witnessed, during nature walks around the rivers of our homeland, how more than one duck, and there were really many of them, held an iPhone in its beak. But now what do we have 6 plus? They're just not stupid and know that if they grab him, sink and they won't come back up. The photo is simply worth 1000 words. Karamba, don't go back to those days. ((:
Very nice article and such a shitty discussion with some 13-year-old grammar nazi... I keep traveling from server to server due to the fact that the discussions really irritate me and I see that it is already starting on the apple tree...
Thanks for the nice article
Unfortunately, the article is just another attempt in a row to defend Apple's senseless move. After all, how else would "Frikulín" websites keep their face?
Do you really think there is a reason to defend it? The step is clear, the competition offers larger displays and I really know a lot of people who have exchanged 4S and others for HTC or Sony. Everyone criticizes the appearance, which is most similar to the iPad Mini and the rubber part on the back. Or a lens. I have the 6+ and I can't praise it enough, the rounded shape holds up much better than the 5S. If I have to accept that they will replace my iPad Mini and iPhone 5S, I will get almost the same price. So they have a thumbs up for me. The flashlight holds up great.
But it's okay that you can't praise it, that's your opinion. I, on the other hand, am reluctant to even call the 6+ an iPhone. And just like you know people who bought HTC and Sony because of the diagonal, I know people who are now buying the 5S instead of the 6. I still find clappers ridiculous and nothing will change. As for the iPad mini, I don't have it because it's too small for home use and too big for travel. For me, the best combination is a compact phone for traveling and a classic iPad at home. I see no reason to resort to compromise devices because it's just some debatable trend. What do I get with 6+? In my opinion, just that compromise – an oversized phone that will be silly to carry in my pocket, and at the same time for home use, despite its size, it will always be too small to fully replace the convenience of a proper tablet's display.
I'm not saying it's for everyone. Personally, I had a big problem surfing on the 5S in landscape mode. It depends on everyone how to use it. On the contrary, I am sorry that Apple is giving up 4″. When the new generation comes out next year, I secretly hope they continue it so people don't run elsewhere.
It's a nasty shovel, you can't hold it properly in your hand or carry it in your pocket...
of course the distance is bigger than the 5s, but that's what our new 6+ owners are after all, who wants a big display chooses the 6+, the system works the same as on the 5s.
Well, maybe there were mistakes in the article, but it is written interestingly and finally "about something", so I didn't even notice it. That is, if the pointless debate hadn't brought it to my attention. Kudos to the author, critics could also bring some constructive insight to the matter.
There are possible errors, but unlike Letemsvetemapplem, it can at least be cleaned. Grammar Nazis recommend the articles there, I think they will not be surprised how amateurs can run a website and still have a lot of readers.
I played 6+ in Paris at the Apple store and I'm already looking forward to it. It fits well with the case, so just wearing it will be a habit. However, I like the size. The phone becomes a more universal device. For example, they will fully replace my e-reader in public transport (I carried an iPad mini or a Kindle everywhere because of this). Otherwise, I don't think the zoom mode is bad. The visually impaired or the elderly can appreciate it very much.
I have a crumbling 5S, my glass is chipping off, the aluminum is also quite battered, I thought I'd wait for the 6S version, but I don't know... Will there be a review for the iPhone 6 as well, or has it already been and I've reviewed it? (It's sad how many people in the discussion are not only rude, but even quite rude)
I have it at home, I was at the pre-sale in Alza and I was completely satisfied. I switched from the IP5, I originally wanted a large one, then I reconsidered it for a small one and since I didn't have the small 128GB left, I thought it was fate and went to the IP6 Plus and here totally satisfied!!!
The only thing that bothered me was the original landscape keyboard, the extra buttons really made me spin, I kept pressing them, so I downloaded swiftkeyboard and now it's really cool :), the photos are great, the display is beautiful, the internet is great, I'm not talking about games IP6 Plus will be the best gaming console today, it just needs more quality titles.
Then I have MC5, Dead Trigger 2, Call of Duty Strike team and Deus Ex in my free time. I downloaded the Playing DB and Air Beats app and through drobbox I uploaded movies in mkv, avi and they play great and Air play can do it too, so I'm totally excited about everything :). Finally, you can comfortably watch a movie on your phone and you don't have to drag your iPad.
Yes, it's not for everyone, for me the phone is a multifunctional device and at this moment the iPad doesn't make much sense to me, even though I have an iPad Air, so its use will be relatively limited, I'll get by with the IP6 Plus
I had a 5S and chose the 6+ 64GB in black which ended up not being. Fortunately, I was undeterred and only one person from alza actually knew they still had them. I have the 6+ 128gb in silver. I used to use a 5Stka + iPad Mini, which I got rid of a month ago, and now the 6+ can replace everything. :) The display is really great and so far the only thing bothering me is the keyboard in landscape mode... The case will finally arrive on Monday. :)
But this is embarrassing talk and an attempt to defend the fact that what you have is definitely the best. Even the mention of high-quality trouser manufacturers speaks for itself - a real bummer. :D
Or he buys only the best and doesn't have to defend himself.
I have no doubt that I have the best that can be bought now :). I wasn't advocating anything, I was describing my feelings about the new device, so you are the one who is an embarrassing dummy.
Well, if you evaluate a quality trouser manufacturer by the size of your pockets, then you are definitely a star. :-D Embarrassment…
But that does not follow from his contribution at all. Verbal logic is not your forte, is it?
Well, that obviously follows. And the logic of any normal person sees it very clearly there. Viktor - don't embarrass yourself like that. ;-)
No, it really only follows that quality manufacturers make large pockets and not that he evaluates the quality of trouser manufacturers according to the size of the pockets. It does not even follow that only high-quality trouser manufacturers make large pockets. Understood? I set the answer to IQ 100, so please let me know if I should reduce the complexity further.
Hmm, I rate your answer as IQ 80 and useless for everyday life. If you can't understand it, let me know - I can explain it to you in three words. :-)
I will not respond to your insults. In my opinion, it does not belong in a decent discussion. Thank you for your understanding and have a nice day.
:-))) But this is already a reaction. :-)))
Who is jealous here? heh
Hello. Maybe an off topic question, but if anyone knows, I'd be grateful. Since all iPhones are released +/- in the same period, when the 6S should theoretically be released, or 6S+, if they bear that name. Is it spring/spring 2015? Thank you
New iPhones are usually presented in September and I think that in 2015 it will be no different, Apple presented the ipad only once in winter/spring and the iPhone has not been presented other than in summer/autumn (September) and personally I think that the iPhone 6S plus ( in my opinion, they will either name it differently or wait for the iP7) it won't be because it would already be such a strange name
Guys, I've had it since Monday when I ran out of my iPhone 6 plus 128gb in the mail …… I wanted to buy a new iPad air 2… but after buying the Iphone 6 plus I don't need it anymore ….. great apple device I'd say the best I've ever bought …
After all the iPhones, Macbooks and iPads I've had, I'm talking too :)
