Compared with the iPhone 6, the new product is heavier by 11 percent, which, according to journalists who held it in his hands - quite a significant difference. The web is changing inclined to explain the new, more durable alloy, but, as it turned outIt is not so.
Apple to protect themselves from a repeat of last year's bendgate, applying to the iPhone 6s production of aluminum alloy series 7000, both in the Apple Watch Sport. About the alloy used in the new product, nothing is known for sure, but usually these alloys are not very different in their density from that of 6000-series. The difference between them - in the alloying elements: the Series 7000 is a zinc, whereas in 6000 the first magnesium and silicon are applied.
According to Apple, aluminum 6s Plus is the body weighs only 2 grams more than its predecessor, and 6s and does per gram easier on this indicator. Now, the iPhone is not so easy to bend in half, but that's no reason overweight.
The originator of this - 3D Touch technology, the introduction of which is more than double the weight of the screen of the smartphone. If earlier in the iPhone 6, he weighed 12 grams, the 6s - as much as 29 grams. However, an additional 17 grams are not superfluous, because they laid a layer of capacitive sensors that are integrated into the display's backlight.
As a result, 6s and 6s Plus is on 14 and 20 grams heavier than their predecessors. It's not critical, especially when you realize that for which the "victim". I do not know about you, but I would agree to increase in weight for a few tens of grams for additional runtime.
