So, after Yesterday Apple held a presentation, A storm of different emotions and experiences, I want to somehow piece together all the information known to us about the new generation of smartphones - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Most, in my opinion, the funny thing is that some enthusiasts stood in line to the Apple Store is still in early September. Well, the guys have to wait for another 9 days.
As in the past year, Apple has decided to present not one but two new smartphones. This time we are not talking about the budget and high-end version of iPhone. Both smartphones are similar in appearance, they only differ in the size and some features.
Let's start with the external parameters. iPhone become more, much more. Their length has increased by 14.3 and 34.3 mm, width - 8.4 and 19.2 mm. But the thickness, on the contrary, has become even less - 6.9 and 7.1 mm. For comparison, iPhone 5s thickness is 7.6 mm.
Which is quite natural, with an increase in the size of a smartphone, and changed its weight, now it is suitably 129 grams and 179 grams. So while this parameter is ahead of the previous generation iPhone 5s - 112 grams.
As for the screen resolution, it is now iPhone 6 has 1 million pixels, and the iPhone 6 Plus is almost two million pixels. And a new generation of displays - Retina HD. The number of pixels per inch at iPhone 6 remained unchanged - 326 ppi, and at iPhone 6 Plus increased and is 401 ppi. Thus, the number of pixels iPhone 6 Plus longer as much as 185%.
With the increase in smart phone, for ease of use the power button has been moved to the side panel of the smartphone. With the same purpose the opportunity to turn off the screen by double-clicking the Home button, or, as now, probably more correct to say, Touch ID.
In the new generation of smartphones to view a news feed or e-mail can now be not only a portrait, but also in landscape orientation. So in this case, it is necessary to take advantage of the large screen on the full.
Now about the hardware. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is equipped with a new, second-generation 64-bit protsessorv - A8. Each of them is made of 20 nm technology and has 2 billion transistors. In this case, the processor size is smaller by 13%. Of course, the A8 became even more powerful, and if we compare the performance of the new generation of smartphones with the previous iPhone, CPU is 25% faster, and graphics - as much as 50%.
What is very, very nice, significantly increased battery capacity. And in this case, the most obvious is the comparison with indicators of iPhone 5s. If earlier it was possible to listen to music 40 hours, the iPhone is now in 6 - 50 hours, and iPhone 6 Plus twice - 80 hours! The 3G iPhone 6 in the network talk time will last 14 hours and the iPhone 6 Plus - the whole day! Progress is clearly evident.

As for the coprocessor M8, and there is a change in a positive way. For example, it is now even better distinguishes between running and cycling. And thanks to the built-in barometer, you can track not only the distance traveled by you, but lifting height.
In addition, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus now supports 20 different LTE frequencies that the number is greater than that of any other already released on the smartphone market. In addition, the increased data rate and on Wi-Fi, as a new generation 802.11ac supports the new protocol.
Now for the iSight camera. Despite the fact that in the presentation of her devoted considerable time, we can not say that it has undergone some dramatic changes. She remained an 8-megapixel, the diaphragm also has not changed - f / 2.2.
Smiling lizard is told us, Phil Schiller, was filmed using the new camera.
But the new technology has been applied in it, focuses on the pixels, which is called - Focus Pixels. What are the advantages it offers in everyday use, we will know soon as smartphones hit the market. AF has been improved, it has become twice as fast, as well as improved Face Detection. In shooting mode, a panoramic image obtained solution is now up to 43 megapixels.
Has changed not only the iSight, but the front camera iPhone. Its aperture is now the same f / 2.2, which provides the best image quality. And also it has been improved Face Detection.

Now about the movie shooting. Here, everything is much more interesting. Now a video with a resolution of 1080 p can be removed not only in the mode of 30 frames / s, but 60 frames / sec. Significantly improved image stabilization and appeared servo AF, which can be easily switched from the neighbors for long items. And most importantly, now in Slo-Mo mode, you can now not only shoot 120 frames / s, but as many as 240 frames / sec. I'm looking forward to what masterpieces can be removed due to the possibility.
