Apple iPhone 6 Plus 64GB review
This year, Apple coque iphone 5s johnny hallyday has launched almost but not quite identical handsets apart from the screen size. We’ve already evaluated Apple’s new 4.7 inch
iPhone 6
, and now it’s the turn of the larger 5.5 coque iphone 6 silicone beats inch iPhone 6 Plus. In 2013, by contrast, we got the premium iPhone 5s and the more affordable iPhone 5c, both with 4 inch displays and both still available (you can compare all iPhone models at Apple’s website).
The iPhone 6 Plus is the biggest phone Apple has ever coque iphone 6 pas en silicone made. It’s also the most coque iphone 5c rammstein expensive, the top end 128GB version costing an coque monster energy iphone 6 eye watering 789 (inc. VAT, 657.50 ex. VAT) SIM free. Three sent us the mid range 64GB version, which it ebay coque iphone 3gs is selling from 44 a month with a 99 upfront cost. This model costs 699 (inc. VAT, 582.50 ex. VAT) SIM free from Apple.

Design Time was when Apple would have dismissed the idea coque iphone 5 accessoires of a large screen handset. Then again, this reviewer once thought a 4.5 inch screen was pushing the boundaries. Times and user requirements have changed, and the appearance of a 5.5 inch screen in an iPhone is no surprise. Nor is the fact that Apple has presented it in a near faultless design.
The physical design is the coque iphone 6 angel beats same coque iphone 4 pas cher disney as that of the smaller iPhone 6. Button placement is identical with the power button on the right, volume buttons and mute switch on coque iphone clapet miroir the left. The headset and proprietary Lightning connector are on the bottom edge, along with the handset’s single speaker.
Large top and bottom screen bezels are a characteristic of Apple’s handsets, but this makes for a tall phone in the case of the apple coque en silicone iphone 6 plus iPhone 6 Plus. Compare its 158.1mm height to 150.7mm for the 5.3 inch
Sony Xperia T3
, or just 146.3mm for the 5.5 inch
LG G3The plus side of the coque iphone native union large screen bezels is the ease with which you can hold the handset in landscape mode for video watching or gaming, although you do need to take care not to cover the speaker in this orientation.
Sound quality from the single speaker is coque iphone 6s qui change de couleur noticeably better than from the smaller iPhone 6 indeed it’s among the best we’ve heard. Having said that, front mounted stereo speakers might deliver an even better audio experience.
The screen occupies an ion strengthened glass front that curves coque iphone 6s starbucks down to meet the handset’s aluminium edges. These in turn curve into the back of the phone, whose metal expanse is broken by plastic antenna strips, plus the camera lens and TrueTone LED flash unit.
The camera lens protrudes slightly, which means that coque iphone se jean paul gautier when the handset is flat on a desk it rocks from side to side coque iphone blague as you tap the screen in a way we found quite annoying.
There’s nothing Apple could have done about this apart from increase the thickness of the handset, which is not something we’d have liked to see. The 7.1mm thick chassis is one of the iPhone 6 Plus’s remarkable design features.
The thin profile means that even at 77.8mm wide and 158.1mm tall the iPhone 6 Plus feels comfortable in the hand. It has to be said, though, that smaller coque iphone 6 ca hands simply won’t be able to reach across the screen. Apple has a wheeze to help out in the shape of its ‘Reachability’ feature, which also appears in the iPhone 6: make two taps on the home button and coque silicone iphone 6 gris the screen falls towards the bottom of the handset. coque iphone 6 game of thrones stark I still couldn’t stretch across the width of the phone, though. The most elegant and ergonomic solution for one handed operation on a large screen remains Samsung’s screen shrinkage system used in the Galaxy S5.
Tales of bent iPhone 6 Plus handsets led us to apply quite severe pressure on the handset to see if it would bend. We found the aluminium chassis to be pretty tough: it’s undoubtedly possible to bend the phone in your hands, but you’d have to apply a lot of force. In short, we didn’t find the iPhone 6 Plus particularly vulnerable or poorly made in comparison to other large screen smartphones.
Features There’s plenty of processing power behind the iPhone 6 Plus, which, like the smaller iPhone 6, uses the new 20nm dual core Apple A8 SoC running at 1.4GHz. The 64 bit main processor is accompanied by a motion coprocessor, in this case the new M8, that offloads processing relating to sensor data (accelerometer, compass, gyroscope and barometer) for improved power efficiency. The iPhone 6 Plus, like its smaller sibling, comes with 1GB of RAM.
Internal storage is capped thanks to Apple’s policy of not providing a MicroSD card slot. Three sent us the 64GB model, which had 54GB of free capacity. There’s no 32GB version: your other choices are either 16GB (likely to leave you with around 11 12GB free), or the most expensive 128GB model. You coque iphone once upon a time also get 5GB of free online storage with your iCloud account, which you coque iphone wwe can upgrade to 20GB, 200GB coque iphone 5c lune or 1TB for a monthly fee (see Apple’s website for prices).
As with the iPhone 6, Touch ID fingerprint recognition worked flawlessly, although I found it impossible to login when holding the phone one handed.
Dual band 802.11ac wi fi is supported, coque iphone 5 clapet personnalisable along with Bluetooth 4.0 LE and LTE mobile broadband now with expanded coverage of 20 frequency bands. NFC is also present, but disappointingly it’s currently redundant as far as UK users are concerned: it’s configured solely for Apple Pay, which is only available in the US at present.
The iPhone 6 Plus’s roster of sensors now includes a barometer, which can be used to gather altitude related data as part of its assault on the health and wellness sector. There’s an iOS 8 Health app too, which can aggregate relevant information from a number of sources.
The main 8 megapixel iSight camera offers good autofocus speed (thanks to a new sensor with coque iphone 7 fries before guys additional Focus Pixels), 43 megapixel panoramas, a time lapse video mode, 1,080p video at 60fps and slow motion 720p video at up to 240fps. The 1.2 megapixel Facetime HD camera, meanwhile, gets improved face detection, a burst mode and HDR video. Optical image stabilisation when shooting video is supported on the iPhone 6 Plus, but absent from its smaller sibling…
