iPhone 6 Review - The screen is wider and presents many awesome features



When first introduced, the iPhone 6 had reaped satire from various parties. The price is quite expensive for the flagship class, which incidentally is 'lagging' [in terms of the features offered. There is no 4K resolution video recorder, there is no camera with pixels higher than 8 megapixels, there is no this and nothing. But, we have to repeat, expensive.

Then what is offered by the iPhone 6? In terms of design, this phone has the 'right' size to accommodate the newest iOS. To answer the curiosity of the reader, Kellytech deliberately presents iPhone 6 16 GB from the exporter aka BM for review needs. This cellphone has an international warranty, Factory unlock, uses nano cards like some of its predecessors and can be active by using the services of one of the local operators.

Design

When compared to the previous iPhone, namely 5s, this phone is slightly higher and wider. But in order to anticipate the difficulties of users in reaching each end of the screen, the iPhone 6 is made thinner with a curved edge. It will feel comfortable for the thumb and the part of the hand that supports it when accessing any wider screen angle than the previous iPhones.

But because of the wider size, thinner design and curvature on each side, the iPhone 6 looks like the flagship products from vendors that carry the Android OS. According to Kellytech, this cannot be avoided. Because all vendors want to make products that are ergonomic, comfortable to hold without causing discomfort when used for long.

Still like the previous product, the front of the cellphone is coated with scratch-resistant glass. Accompanied by a Home button that acts as a fingerprint scanner at the bottom, an earpiece at the top, and a front camera that can function as a camera for video chat via Facetime or taking selfies.

Meanwhile the back of the cellphone is still built by smooth metallic material. Give the impression of luxury with attractive color choices, namely silver, gold and space gray.

The layout of the buttons and porting is largely unchanged. Only the power button moves from the top to the right side of the phone.

Some time ago, a channel on Youtube tried to break some smart phones with both hands and as a result, the iPhone 6 apparently belongs to a product that is easily bent. Actually with this size, and the use of metallic materials on the iPhone 6 back cover, what Lewis Hilsenteger concluded was reasonable. For that, you need to be careful if you use an iPhone 6. Try not to place it in the back pocket of jeans or in the folds of the front pocket.

In fact, with a wide size like this iPhone 6, the tight pocket of jeans is not a favorite place to store cellphones. Moreover, the back pants pocket that you can sit on. But keep in mind when you sleep, don't let the iPhone 6 get stuck between the mattress and your body.

Using the right case is the most accurate solution to this problem. And believe it or not, for veteran iPhone users, the use of additional attractive casings is like an obligation. What about you?

Screen and UI

The iPhone 6 screen uses retina display technology. Just a reminder, the retinal display refers to the maximum resolution display that can be captured by the normal retina of the eye in a certain size diagonal stretch of the screen. Also carrying 64-bit computing technology, the display produced by the iPhone 6 screen can spoil its users.

A little effect appears in the image and text, where sometimes the image appears bursting. Maybe this is caused by the surface of the screen that feels a little convex, plus the parallax effect carried by iOS 8. Just a reminder, the appearance of the parallax is a dynamic wallpaper display, using the gyroscope on the cellphone, so that the image will slowly appear. the place so that the other icons appear to move.

When first activated, this phone still uses iOS 8.0. This iOS is a newer iOS that was launched almost simultaneously with the launch of the iPhone 6. Naturally, if this iOS is called the iOS iPhone6 ​​and 6 plus. Some security protocols related to NFC and Apple Pay are significant additions.

But is it only in NFC and Apple Pay? Of course not, many things have been added in iOS 8. As discussed in the last edition of the iphone tips, where a number of additions are on photo editing and a number of interesting additions on the messaging side. And many more. In short, the iPhone 6 is already armed with the most up-to-date iOS, as a complement to the previous iOS.

Okay, indeed there are a few problems related to this iOS. Especially for the iPhone 6. Mainly on WiFi and Bluetooth connections. To minimize the existing problems, Kellytech immediately updated to the latest iOS, iOS 8.0.2. The result is quite helpful, because the network can be overcome.

It's just that there is still interference in internet access via WiFi. Although not as bad as before. This problem does not always appear, so according to Kellytech this is not a significant disturbance.

Hardware

As Apple presented at its launch last September, the iPhone 6 is equipped with adequate hardware, several times better than the previous product. There are no definite leaks of how true the hardware specs are. Because Apple only divides the chipset type. Namely A8.

Using this information and the benchmarking tools available on the market, the A8 apparently still uses a dual core CPU, aka dual core 1.4 GHz speed. Far enough when compared to the flagship cellphone CPU from other vendors. Likewise with the Ram which only reads 1 GB.

But, this hardware comparison cannot be applied to two different devices with OS support that is also much different. The combination of iOS 8 and A8 Chipset is believed to be able to make the iPhone work effectively. Both in terms of power consumption, and memory consumption when activating the application.

The result, in real terms. the performance of this phone experienced a significant increase compared to the previous iPhone. Including when we enjoy heavy games. Even if you experience lag, this happens when there is a conflicting need for data access. Such as when playing network-based games such as Hay Day, then there are incoming WhatsApp notifications. That will cause a little lag. Besides that, it's just fine.

The hardware that was brought was ready to support heavy games. Apple deliberately released a platform kit that fits with their hardware specs namely METAL, so the chipset will be far more effective in supporting the performance of games built on this platform. Even for the iPhone 6 Plus, the game will display 1080p, aka full HD.


This effort is very reasonable, considering that the actual hardware specs of the Apple iPhone 6 are not as vibrant as the Samsung Galaxy S5 for example. With the use of a full data plan, WiFi access, the use of iMessage and Whatsapp that are intense and occasionally used for telephone and gaming, the iPhone 6 battery is strong enough to support up to 24 hours after being fully charged. Compared to older products, moreover, the initial iPhone 5 batch has a battery change, the iPhone 6 battery life is better.

A number of slick hardware to enhance cellphone security and interesting experiences are present to accompany. The fingerprint sensor that is present on the iPhone 5s, is back on this phone. Still in the same location, which is below the surface of the home button.

Also present are a number of newer sensors in the form of a barometer, which serves to measure air pressure and can also be used to measure altitude or function as an altimeter. And NFC, which seems to only be used for Apple Pay needs.

Connectivity

As a flagship phone at an expensive price, iPhone 6 brings all modes of data transfer both online and offline. But like the iPhone since the first generation, there is still no data transfer via Bluetooth.

The negative thing is that we have difficulty sending data, such as photos and music with other devices. But positively, the cellphone will be safe from attacks of destructive files and viruses.

To transfer photos, this phone already has an Air Drop feature. The feature that was first released for Mac OS and began to be brought in iOS 7 allows iPhone users to send data with the same protocol to other iPhones, or Mac Book in range.

iPhone 6 is ready to be launched on the LTE line. The technology has been pinned, just how local operators can facilitate. But even if LTE cannot be used, there is still HSDPA and 3G lines to be used to access the internet.

Typical and Multimedia Software

If hardware isn't the thing that interests you, the iPhone 6 has prepared a number of interesting features that will make your life easier. Which for veteran iPhone users, it is already out of mind.

But specifically on the iPhone 6 there are a number of new breakthroughs. Along with the launch of Apple's payment mode called Apple Pay, you can use iPhone 6 as a device to pay for something. Thanks to the NFC chip that has been pinned, and a security system that has been built through a fingerprint sensor, it is very possible. Unfortunately, when this article was written, Apple Pay could not be used widely. Both the Indonesia and the US itself.

In addition to Apple Pay, we can make full use of two transaction lines for both applications and music. Via App Store and iTunes Store. Interestingly, since the iPhone 5s, you can use fingerprints as payment confirmation mode. No longer bother typing passwords when shopping for music or applications.

As always, moving all profiles, data, music and videos from the old iPhone to the new iPhone will be easier. Both files that you have purchased on an iPhone before, or just you downloaded and transferred via iTunes.

Camera

Although criticized that the lens still uses 8 megapixel resolution, the camera of this phone is the best camera that an iPhone device has. The development of the iSight lens to this point deserves praise.



New features have now been added to the camera. It is an interesting addition via iOS 8. Accompanied by polished hardware on the side of the camera, the results are not playful. Color can be translated properly, any object can be captured clearly. When we enlarge the image from the iPhone 6 camera, the image remains solid, not broken.

The bokeh effect can be generated when we take pictures close to the background far back. With a little practice, you can rely on the iPhone 6 camera to be a slick camera to take spontaneous moments, with satisfying results.

Not to mention the default editing features that are more complete. It will make you feel more comfortable learning photography using this iPhone 6 camera.

Although there are no complaints on the quality side of both photos and videos, there are a number of disadvantages that are often questioned. Mainly in the camera layout and the absence of a 4K video recorder. With the design carried, a large camera lens stands out on the edge of the cellphone. Some people worry about this layout. Plus, when compared to other flagship phones, the maximum HD video recorder can record 1080p video at 30 fps, it's still lacking.

There are two sides to consider when discussing this camera. If you are concerned about the absence of a 4K video recorder, this technology has not been widely accommodated by the latest hardware. Just to remind the cheapest 4K television on the market is still in the range of 12 million, until the most expensive number is hundreds of millions.

Conclusion

Apple iPhone 6 is the best iPhone for now. A number of improvements were present to complement the old products and catch up with flagship products belonging to the opposing camp. Even though it is not mathematically 'equivalent', in fact this cellphone manages to display attractive features with its own style, supported by a mature ecosystem.

For older iPhone owners, such as 5s, who are hesitant to upgrade their devices, they can easily bypass this iPhone 6 product because there is not much improvement on the hardware side, except for better chipset usage, screen size, camera and NFC. Meanwhile for Android users who want to try iOS devices, maybe the moment of iPhone design change to be like this can be the best moment to switch. At least you don't need to get used to the size of your cellphone and screen.
