APPLE iPHONE 6

We’ve seen the iPhone 6 loom larger and less blurry, leak after leak in the months leading up to the big unveil. The leaks were spot on for a change and we will get iPhone 6 in two sizes — 4.7-inch as well as a 5.5-inch.

Here are the 10 best new features of iPhone 6 that add zing to the already stellar iPhone 5S.

1.RETINA HD

Apple has outdone itself in the buzzwords game. The new Retina HD display is an ultra thin IPS display with 326ppi pixel density for iPhone 6, capable of wider viewing angles.

The iPhone 6 Plus gets a 1334x750 pixel display, and for the first time on the iPhone, a full-HD 1920 x 1080 display on the iPhone 6 Plus.

In terms of specs, this is not really mind-blowing when you consider Samsung, LG and Oppo’s Quad HD displays at 446 ppi. But logic-wise it makes sense, as it costs more CPU to push Quad HD images to a display that's as sharp as a 1080p display to the normal eye.

2. ION STRENGTHENED SCREEN

 it’s a brand new ion strengthened screen. While there are absolutely no details on this mysterious new screen technology, which curves neatly around the sides of the iPhone. 

We should have more details on this Ion technology when we get them. As long as it makes iPhone tougher to break, we are fine.

3.  2ND GENERATION 64-BIT PROCESSER

While the Android world is still floundering in the dark for 64-bit processor, the only significant next step in mobile technology, Apple has bettered its superb A7 processor with the A8, using a 20nm manufacturing process. 

Not only that, Apple claims that it will perform better over a longer period of time.

4. 8 MP CAMERA WITH 1.5 MICRON PIXEL SENSOR

Though Apple did not stuff more megapixels in the new iPhones, it’s 8 megapixel snapper has grown up. With True Tone Flash and with the 1.5 Micron pixel sensor, Apple seems to be taking a cue from HTC’s handbook with ultrapixels. Apple has also introduced Focus Pixels for faster auto-focus with phase detection, and an aperture of f/2.2. iSight camera can take a stunning 43MP panorama. 

It has an image signal processor to aid in all the image-heavy lifting. Both iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have auto (optical) image stabilisation: an absolute first for an iPhone. The camera can capture 1080p video at 30 or 60 fps and slow motion video at 240 fps. With Cinematic Video Stabilisation, and using Focus Pixels, you can get continuous autofocus in video.
