The new iPhone 6 is 6.9 mm thick , which is less than its predecessor iPhone 5s , which was 7.6 mm thick. The weight is a bit uplifted to 129 g (from 112 g), but it is obvious. It also carries the Fingerprint sensor (Touch ID) from its predecessor, but adding up a new feature called " Apple Pay " supporting payments by just holding your iPhone 6 near the contactless reader with your finger on Touch ID. You don’t even have to look at the screen to know your payment information was successfully sent. A subtle vibration and beep lets you know. It is Visa, MasterCard, AMEX certified.

The Display Size Evoloution - Techripper.in

The display on this device is the same as its grandpa ( *sarcasm ) , LED-backlit IPS LCD, capacitive touchscreen, supporting 16M colors . Now comes the " real play ". The new iPhone 6 flaunts its bigger and better display and comes with a 4.7 inches display. The pixel density is not at all compromised. It have the same 326 ppi pixel density. To maintain this , they have improved the display resolution to 750 x 1334 pixels while iPhone 5s was just 640 x 1136 pixels, with 4 inch display. iPhone 6 leaves behind the corning gorilla glass and joins up the shatterproof glass with oleophobic coating ( i.e oil and water repelling).

4 . Memory And Data

The new iPhone 6 comes in a 16/64/128 GB variants coupled with 1 GB of RAM. The interesting fact is that this time they had dropped the 32 GB model. The newest wifi standard 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (" ac ") is also supported. NFC (near field communication) is also added. Rest of the connectivity options(GPRS, EDGE, 3G, Bluetooth 4.0, and USB 2.0) remains same as its predecessor.

5 . The " Digital Sharp Shooter " - Camera

The new iPhone 6 supports 8 MP camera, with phase detection autofocus (which is a notatable new feature), dual-LED (dual tone) flash.It can record upto 1080p. The notable feature here is that you can record videos at 60 frames per second @1080p and 240 frames per second @720p which is a really great feature we can say. More is the FPS, more is the motion clarity of the video and the video shot by this makes it more realistic. The front camera is a 1.2 MP shooter capable of recording videos @720p which bundles with features like face detection, FaceTime over Wi-Fi or Cellular.

6 . " Speed, Not An Issue "  - The CPU

Apple A8 Chipset - Techripper.in

The iPhone 6 boasts of a new chipset developed by Apple Inc. called "Apple A8". The Apple A8 is 50% more faster than its predecessors. The CPU is a Dual-core 1.4 GHz Cyclone which is ARM v8-based. This CPU has a much better performance. The number of cores and the "GHz" of the processors shouldn't be compared with snapdragon and MediaTek CPU's with "quad core, Octa core and much higher frequencies " . Its high time people should stop counting on the GHz (clock rate) of the processor , as the performance of the CPU depends on the internal architecture, rather than the "GHz". This is the reason why Intel is developing newer generation processors with a lower clock rate to minimize power consumption and better performance. The older iPhone 5s CPU is a Dual-core 1.3 GHz Cyclone (ARM v8-based).

7 . The Better GPU

The new iPhone 6 have PowerVR GX6650 with hexa-core (6 cores) GPU on its chipset. The iPhone 5s had PowerVR G6430 with quad-core GPU. The latest and much graphics intensive games runs like a breeze.

9 . The New Sensor On The Block

iPhone 6 have all the sensors like Accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass along with a new barometer (For Pressure Measurement). Its all because of such new innovations , iPhone is a best choice among users.

10 . " How Much Juice Left " - The Battery Life

The New iPhone 6 have a Non-removable Li-Po 1810 mAh battery with power of 6.9 Wh. Relatively, iPhone 5s had a Non-removable Li-Po 1560 mAh battery with power of 5.92 Wh. As you can clearly see, the power and the battery capacity is also increased , so you can have a better battery life and no compromise with performance. iPhone 6 gives a stand by time Up to 250 h on both (2G) and (3G). The talk time is 14 h on both 2G and 3G. Music playback time is upto 50 h.

Despite of many high performance phones at the block, the new iPhone 6 remains unbeatable. Due the best hardware and software integration by Apple, iPhone 6 is simply invincible.
