Apple has released the 6th version of the legendary iPhone mobile gadget. It is produced in two versions (A1549 and A1586). In addition, there is the "tablet phone" iPhone 6 Plus (also two models - A1522 and A1524). Both devices are, of course, in the premium category. How much does the 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?

What, in fact, are the differences between models within the same class of device? 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 is equipped 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 is sold mainly in Europe. Its main technological feature is support for 20 bands within the LTE standard (while the "American" modification is capable of working only with 16). As a rule, the option sold in the US is cheaper.

Almost the same patterns can be seen when comparing A1522 and A1524. The first supports slightly fewer LTE bands and is equipped with a charger adapted to the outlets used in the USA. There is an erroneous version among the user community that the iPhone in the "American" version does not work well with Russian mobile operators. This is absolutely not the case, experts emphasize. "IPhones" are adapted to stable work with almost all mobile operators in the world, and in all existing communication standards, including the most modern, LTE.

What's in the box

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

Design, appearance

The iPhone 6th version is produced in three shades - dark gray, golden, and also silver. The body of the device is made of aluminum, its construction is monolithic. The antenna elements are visible from 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. Screen covering - high quality oleophobic glass.

The device's power button is located on the right side (while many others have it on 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. The nanoSIM format card is inserted into the slot located on the right side of the case. Device dimensions: 138.1x67x6.9 mm.

As befits the devices of its line, "iPhone" issues a premium gadget. According to experts and users, the design of the smartphone is made at the highest level. It is pleasant to hold the device and to use it comfortably. The owners are especially impressed by the balanced colors that emphasize the sophistication of every bend of the iPhone 6 case.

The design of the device is rated extremely positively by users and experts. Enthusiasts of devices of the iOS-line speak very positively about the new design approaches implemented in the iPhone 6th version. However, this kind of sentiment, as experts say, is quite typical for evaluating devices under the Apple brand. "Apple" gadgets are famous primarily for their high quality 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. Through system settings, you can adjust the brightness of the display, the size of the program elements. Experts and users alike note the superior quality of the screen.

The image is perfectly viewed 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 reproduces colors that are very natural and rich. Pixelation, as noted by the owners, is almost invisible.

Opportunities

The hardware installed in the device, as well as in other devices of the iPhone line, assumes the highest performance. All four models of smartphones under the iPhone 6 brand (the differences between them are small - they mainly consist in the size of the built-in memory, but more on that later) support the most modern communication technologies in 2G, 3G and 4G standards. All modifications support communication via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4th version, 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 key to the iPhone 6's performance. The specs we've outlined above are considered by many to be secondary to Apple's dual-core, 64-bit A8 chip, clocked at 1.3GHz. The processor is complemented by the M8 module, which controls the accelerometer (acceleration meter), gyroscope and compass integrated into the smartphone. The iPhone graphics subsystem is based on the GX6650 chip. There is support for GPS, GLONASS.

Software

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

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

Camera

We wrote above that the screen installed on the iPhone 6 predetermines great comfort in viewing multimedia content. This opportunity would probably be incomplete without a quality camera. This hardware component has decent specs. Resolution - 8 megapixels, in the optical system 5 lenses. There is a system focusing mode. According to many experts, the quality of photos taken with the Apple iPhone 6 is comparable to that of a specialized camera.

Battery

The battery of the smartphone, as stated by the manufacturer, provides about 14 hours of talk time. If the device is not actively used, then it will work without recharging for about 10 days. In the video playback mode, the smartphone will operate for about 11 hours, while playing music - about fifty. The reviewers reviewing the iPhone 6 for battery performance tests achieved generally comparable results.

Memory resources

"IPhones" are traditionally characterized by large volumes of built-in flash memory. True, Apple endows 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 of competing platforms can boast at least the same 16 GB, not to mention more impressive amounts of resources.

Modification Plus

Our iPhone 6 review would be incomplete without examining the characteristics of one of the major phone modifications. This is the iPhone 6 Plus. This, of course, is not a "Chinese" iPhone 6, it is a full-fledged branded version. What are the distinguishing features of this device compared to the flagship model? The key feature of the iPhone 6 Plus is that it is classified as a tablet-type gadget. 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 body of the device 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 device from Samsung has a slightly higher pixel density - 515 (versus 401 for the iPhone). The main and secondary camera of the Galaxy Note surpasses the similar hardware component of the iPhone in resolution (16 and 3.7 megapixels for the "Korean").

But does it matter that the iPhone is inferior in most technical characteristics to the closest competitor on the Android platform? The opinions of experts on this issue differ (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. Let, they believe, the processor and other microcircuits do not work so quickly, 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 first of all for the balance of hardware, the elaboration of 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 easy operation. "IPhone" in the 6th version is no exception.

iPhone - originally conceived as the one and only, today it is offered just the same 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.

In the official sale currently appear - iPhone SE, iPhone 6S / 7, as well as Plus-versions of the latter two. At the same time, each of the devices is still offered in several colors! And if choosing a model is not so difficult - the most advanced ones are “sevens”, fans of small smartphones - the SE version, and the rest, in fact, are the iPhone 6S; then the color is more difficult. Strict Space Gray or catchy Rose Gold? Classic but effective Silver or bright and somewhat controversial Gold?

Well, let's figure it out - which iPhone color will suit you best! We will understand using the example of the iPhone 6S.

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

Want an honest opinion from the author? 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 only here we are not talking about the silver that glitters. So in the end it turns out that in fact we have a light gray and dark gray body. At the same time, the shade of the "apples" and the unfortunate stripes-antennas, which everyone has been tirelessly scolding for more than a year, is almost identical.

Well, now let's take a look at the "face" of the devices, and here there will be no accusations of the same - for Spay Gra y has a black front panel and Silver has a white one. Due to this, the first looks more monolithic and solid, and on the silver one there are brightly "looming" sensors, a "peephole" of the front camera and Touch ID.

Whether it is good or bad, everyone decides for himself - many, for example, find a white fingerprint scanner, framed around the perimeter with a silver edging, even more elegant than the “lost” black without an accent, while others, on the contrary, will like the latter's invisibility.

However, we will talk a little below about the advantages and disadvantages of the white and black front panels - objective and not very -, but for now ...

Experiments of the "apple" giant

... let's talk about two more models of the iPhone 6S color range, which cannot be classified as classic - Gold - gold and Rose Gold - rose gold. However, you can't call them experimental either, after all, these colors have been in the lineup for several years and they are definitely popular.

And here, on the contrary, we will start our consideration from the front panel. And why? Because, in general, the frontal surface of both Gold and Rose Gold practically does not differ from the Silver version, the only difference that is not immediately visible is the Touch ID edging - in Gold it casts gold, in Rose Gold - pink color. All!

But the rear panels are another matter - there is no need to look closely, it is immediately clear, "xy from xy". The silver model is light gray with dark gray stripes of antennas, Gold is golden, Rose Gold is pink, and the antennas of the latter two are white - by the way, the decision is also very subjective - someone will praise for interesting accents, and someone will scold - "Well, why did you highlight 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 drops, put on a case ... And, in addition, the range of accessories for i-smartphones is so great that it is very difficult to deny yourself the desire to refresh the device with some interesting case.

But it turns out, of course, unfairness - Apple is trying, experimenting with the back of the case, and most of it is simply closed with an accessory. However, thank God that in despair 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 to say, but working with such colors it is very difficult to find the optimal edge and get something elegant, and not vulgar - the "apple" giant did great!

Go 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 to 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 they find themselves - silver, pink and gold and dark, in which gray will be lonely bored.

So what are the advantages of light-colored models? Right! Fingerprints on them are not as visible as on the dark one, by the way, this applies to both the front and rear panels. Besides ... but no "besides", because here the pros end. Weed and dust particles 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 solid and monolithic, but the dust will always find a place to hide, alas! She especially loves to "nest" at the edge of the display and around the Touch ID. And this is already an obvious problem. If a speck of dust gets clogged under a black fingerprint scanner, it will be much less noticeable than if this happens with any light model.

And it's also high time to remember about the sensors, which are very noticeable on the white panels. Yes, the eye-catching Touch ID is a subjective question, but very few people will find black holes above the display of light versions aesthetic. However, frankly speaking, they don't look like a thorn in the eye - if you don't look closely and find fault, all the elements of the white panel look pretty nice. On the other hand, how can you resist the temptation to find fault with Apple? By the way, we ask forgiveness from those who didn’t notice these sensors before, but now don’t know how to “unsee”, after a while they will again seem like sheer nonsense to you.

And finally, there is one more problem with light models. Look closely 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 should you choose?

What's the bottom line? But what - if when buying an iPhone 6S you don't really care what color it will be, take Space Gray, get a practical gadget with a cool effect on the screen (although prints on it, recall, will be more noticeable). Want colors and variety - you can always buy a case.

On the other hand, what to 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 as good as that of the dark one, it just visually looks a little different. Well, don't be afraid of experimental colors - pink and gold smartphones by Apple look very dignified! 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.

It was the first smartphone to be carved out of a solid bar of silver. The idea continued with the iPhone 5s and iPhone SE, and they were great.

But along with the iPhone 6, white smartphones from Cupertino went to the wrong steppe. As if the designers decided: they say, 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 6. They have a bluish silver back, completely expressionless.

Three years later, Apple changed its mind.

Gold and white iPhone 8 must be taken

When I, least of all, I was pleased with the black color - specific because of the glass panel that reflects light inside the case. Then I expressed hope: the white and gold iPhone 8 should look much better.

I was right.

If you are going to take the eighth iPhone, in fact you are choosing between two models: white and gold.

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

Why? It's just that these colors perfectly complement the idea of \u200b\u200bthe glass body.

Glass back panel, white and gold background colors - magically beautifully at any time of the day. As if 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 benefits as well. For example, fingerprints on them are much less visible. Even scratches will not be as noticeable as on the black model.

And I want to separately praise the new gold color. He looks much better live than any photographs. I would rather call it 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 were delighted. Even the guys though seemingly.

If I knew that the gold iPhone 8 would be so cool, I would not rush to buy an iPhone 7 Plus for my wife. Still, Apple still has designers from the time of Steve Jobs who can do beautiful.

Remember: These are the best white and gold iPhones ever.

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

If you, like me, have been waiting for a long time really nice white iphone - enough, you have to go to the store. And if for the holidays you need a decent gift for a girl, you will not find a better and more beautiful gold iPhone 8.

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

At the moment, the newest iPhone is the iPhone 6s, but the iPhone 6 is still on sale at a significantly lower cost. In this regard, many buyers cannot decide whether they should overpay for a new product or 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 figure out what is the difference between these smartphones and which one is worth buying.

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

IPhone 6s color scheme

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

How 3D Touch works on iPhone 6s

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

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 easy operation. "IPhone" in the 6th version is no exception.

The frenzied excitement for the purchase of the flagships of the American company Apple - the iPhone 6 and 6 plus - slept a bit. Users no longer row all the available products, but purposefully choose the most suitable option for themselves. And in addition to thinking about which model is better - 6 or 6 plus, you need to decide on the choice of color.

However, Apple does not really pamper consumers with the coloristic variety of its gadgets. The color range of the new iPhone case is limited to three, which have already become traditional, options: space gray, gold and gray, which are offered by the manufacturer for the second year in a row.

IPhone color - the flour of choice

But even such a meager amount makes many people think: "What color of the iPhone case should you choose for yourself?" As practice shows, there is no single answer. It all depends solely on the future owner and his preferences. And I also need to say thank you to Apple for choosing one of three.

First of all, it is worth noting that the gold and silver cases, both in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, have a white front panel, while the “space gray” has a black one. Omitting points like: "black is the most suitable for boys, and golden for girls", let us dwell on the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Black is always relevant!

It is clear that the iPhone in black (more precisely in black plus dark gray) is a classic that has been and will be relevant because of its versatility and practicality. It looks impressive and stylish, and therefore Apple decided to choose it to represent the entire line in the promo company.

Also, plus everything, the image on the display, thanks to the dark frames, is clearly shaded and seems even more contrasting and bright. This point is especially noticeable on the large screen of the iPhone 6 plus model.

In "silver" or "gold" - the iPhone is always in great shape.

The advantage of the silver case is that it is not painted - it is just native one-piece aluminum with a transparent coating, when scratched, the color does not change, and damage will not be so noticeable. The same cannot be said for the other two options. Although the cases of the new iPhone 6 and 6 plus now have a special anodized coating, suggesting a deeply penetrating paint. This means that Apple gadgets will remain unchanged for a long time, and the colors of the coatings will not fade over time.

Traditionally, smears and fingerprints are less noticeable on the gold or silver color of the case. As you can see in the image below, they are only visible on the shiny Apple logo and the surrounding panel is clean.

On the other hand, on black, it is not striking, inevitably appearing during operation, dust and dirt that accumulates in the sides around the display and the Touch ID key.

In general, the black iPhone visually looks monolithic. All working holes and buttons are clearly not visible on it, and there is an illusion that it is better protected. And in white - all the above elements are contrastingly gradated, and when the monitor is out, it sometimes looks broken.

Color is not the main thing

As you can see, Apple does not strive for color verification of its products, all the devices it offers are scattered in no time. The subjective and minor differences listed above do not affect the functionality and smooth operation of the iPhone 6 and 6 plus.

By and large, you most likely will not see the colors of the rear panel. Since to protect such an expensive gadget, you will probably purchase a protective case. Moreover, the cases of both models are overly streamlined and smooth, and therefore simply slip out of your hands. This is especially true for the oversized iPhone 6 plus. And the use of the cover makes the original color less important.

Although, in essence, it's all a matter of taste. So just choose the one that you like more, and do not worry about how it will manifest itself during operation, or what others will say.

If at the moment, you have decided that you will buy an iPhone 6S or an iPhone 6S PLUS, but still have not decided on the color, then you entered very well.

Today I will tell you what colors this smartphone exists in and which are the most popular. I will share a little my reasoning. Make yourself comfortable, because it will be interesting.

What colors are the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S PLUS?

We all know that Apple loves to add something new every year. Compared to the iPhone 6, this generation has not changed in appearance except for the color.

  • Silver
  • Space gray
  • Rose gold

All colors are good in their own way, but considering all generations of iPhones, the 6S line has a couple that are taken most often. But we will talk about this a little further.

Which iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S PLUS color should you choose?

Here, perhaps, the most interesting thing begins, because choosing a color for your future iPhone 6S is not an easy task. But you can master it and now I will tell you how.


To get started, go to any store that sells these phones. See them live, because photos and videos are always deceiving. If you still don't know what to do, then read on.

In this generation, the best-selling colors are two. Something like this can be observed if you make a small rating:

  1. Space gray
  2. Rose gold
  3. Silver

As you can see, the first two places are occupied by two colors, which are very good and people often choose between them. But what should you choose?

For starters, if you already had an iPhone before, then you probably want to get new pleasant sensations. Therefore, if you had a black iPhone, then we take a white one and vice versa.

For girls. The first place of honor is taken by Rose Gold, the new color is very good. Next comes Gold, Space Gray is last in Silver.

For the guys. In the first place will always be Space Gray or Silver, only then Gold comes. Although it happened when I saw it with Rose Gold.

conclusions

I hope I helped you decide on the color choice for your brand new iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S PLUS. Well, or at least, he gave me the right idea.

Each color is good in its own way, but as practice shows, it all ends with the fact that you buy a cover and cover all this beauty. Sometimes you start to think that you can take the first color you come across and not think.
