what’s up guys. muwen360 here with a full,in-depth review of the apple iphone 6. so this is one of the hugely anticipated devicesof 2014 so it’s finally here and it’s packing a lot of new features and changeswe’ve never seen before in the history of the iphone line. for starters, the new iphone6 starts at $199 for the baseline 16gb model with a two-year carrier agreement or you canalso purchase it contract-free starting at
apple stock price drop, $649 dollars and the one i have here is the16gb, gold, contract-free version of the iphone 6. in addition to gold, you also have theoption to get space gray and silver for additional color choices. so let’s begin with the hardwareand design. so the design of the 6 is obviously a huge departure from apple’s design strategyfor previous generations. most notably, you
can see how the edges are curved now similarto the ipod touch for example instead of the distinctive sharp edges from iphones yearspast. with that glass front that’s curving towards the edges to create that round look.i am personally not a big fan of this change simply due to the fact the round edges onthe sides makes it harder for my hands to grip the device. so i’d much rather justhave the distinctive sharp edges on my htc one for example, to hold, instead of the curvededges on the iphone 6. the front and back of the phone has a pretty smooth texture toit. even though, i like how it feels. i still think this material, especially the aluminumback might just be a bit slippery to grip but it’s really not that big of a deal.the iphone 6 is also apple’s thinnest phone
to date. it only has a thickness of 6.9 millimetersso it’s incredibly thinner than its predecessor. it also has a height of 5.44 inches and awidth 2.64 inches. and it only weighs 4.55 ounces. so even though the overall devicehas a larger footprint now, it actually feels really light-weight which is nice. it stillretains the superb metal build quality for the most part with the exception of thesewhite lines which are for the antennas. so minus the curved edges, the iphone 6 has apretty solid build quality in my opinion. but nonetheless, the iphone 6 just feels reallyfragile in the hand mostly i think because of how thin it is so you’ll definitely wanta protective case and that kind of goes without saying for pretty much all iphones. the othersignificant change was to the display which
apple gave the branding as the "retina hd"display, but in reality, it has a resolution of 1334x 750 so just a little bit over 720phd at a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch. the screen size has been increased from 4inches to 4.7 inches signaling apple’s response to the desire of larger screens. and for meat least, 4.7 inches is the perfect sweet spot in terms of screen size it’s not toobig, not too small. it falls right in the middle. it’s still large enough for watchingmovies and typing but not large enough to the point of losing portability so you canstill use it easily with just one hand. so a big fan of this form factor and the screenitself is really and nice bright and also awesome color reproduction and something newapple has added something called "dual domain
pixels for wider viewing angles" and it’san ips display with a fingerprint oleophobic coating on top. so around the phone, we havethe power button here on the right side relocated from the top for easier access now due tothe larger display and nano sim card tray next to it. on the left, ring or silent switch,as well as the volume up and down buttons. at the bottom, we have the 3.5 millimeterheadphone jack along with the microphone, lighting connector and also the speakers.nothing up top. on the front here we have the 2 megapixel facetime camera with 720phd video recording capabilities and also the ambient light sensor and the earpiece. towardsthe bottom, we have the home button which also acts as the sensor for the touch id fingerprintscanner. on the back we have the new 8 megapixel
isight camera with 1.5 micro pixels. f/2.2aperture. it’s also autofocus with focus pixels which means it will dramatically reducethe time needed for refocusing. and what’s interesting about the camera is it protrudesout quite a bit from the rest of the phone. so when you lay it on the table, the phonewon’t be perfectly flat due to the camera bulge. but unless, you’re trying to intentionallymake it wobble so it shouldn't be much of an issue. however, the camera might have thepotential to be damaged easier due to it’s position even if it has a sapphire crystallens cover, it’s still something to be aware of. now in terms of software, the iphone 6is running ios 8 pre-installed out of the box. ios 8 is really not that much differentios 7 in terms of design. we still have the
same look and feel and of course typical iosapplications like messages, calendar, photos, app store, itunes store, you name it. butwe do have the new addition of health app. and basically it’s a health and fitnesstracker. for example you can can go to health data, body measurements, body fat percentage,you can add a data point and also share the data with other people as well. so yeah itjust allows to see data regarding over a week, a month or a year for example. so that’sthat with the new health app. and also if you double click the home button, in additionto getting your multi tasking windows, you also receive an extra row of space at thetop reserved for recent your contacts so now you easily access those people by double clickingthe home button. and another thing that’s
really neat is something called reachabilityso basically now you can double tap the home button, you don’t even have to press them,it bring the top three row of icons down which are more difficult to access since you kindof have to scooch your hands to access them now but with reachablity, you can double tapand the icon drops down automatically for your convienceince so a really simple butuseful feature. another change was made to the notifications so for example now you canbe on a web page and a tweet comes in for example, you can swipe down and reply to thenotification right on the spot instead of manually going to the twitter to that. animprovement was also made to the keyboard and it’s called quicktype, and basicallywhen you type, the keyboard takes into account
the content you’re writing, and also yourwriting style, so it can provide you with text predications optimized for your writingso it can save you some time. and also for the first time, you can now install thirdparty keyboards so you can download one from the app store and go to the settings, general,keyboard,, keyboards, add new keyboard, and click on the keyboard you installed, i haveswiftkey so that’s nice feature if you don’t like the stock keyboard. and also the searchfunction has been improved since it can now display results from the web as well as fromyour phone. so if i search apple, i can get results from the phone but also results fromthe web in this case apple’s web address for example and i can click on it to see opensafari and it direct me to the page. the camera
has improved of course, we have our typicalcamera modes, but we do have the new addition of a time lapse mode which is nice. and iwill have a full camera test of the iphone 6 camera very soon to show you guys the picturequality and the new features but so far from what i’ve noticed, the shutter speed isamazingly fast and responsive and the pictures themselves look really sharp and detailed.so i have a picture here i took in low light and it looks pretty decent thanks to the truetone flash and we also have some handy editing tools so you can easily make your photos appearbetter on the fly. here are some other pictures and again they look really good, accuratecolors and very detailed but again i will have a full camera test soon in another videoso you can see for yourself. so yeah just
overall incredibly fluid and smooth. no lagor delay whatsoever just a really smooth and enjoyable experience all around. it reallyfeels like the phone is made for the software and software is made for the phone so they’reperfectly optimized. this thing flies through everything you throw at it be it watchingyoutube videos, browsing the web, launching applications, or whatever else you do withit, it’s always fast and responsive every single time. and all of this is mostly dueto the 1.4 ghz dual core apple a8 process or with m8 motion coprocessor which appleclaims to have up to 50% more cpu performance than before and also up to 84% more gpu performance.and the power from those chips can be evident in tasks like gaming for example because thegaming performance and experience is buttery
smooth with any game really. no delay, nolag, no issues at all to be honest when it comes to gaming. and also the speakers arereally loud and clear too so an added bonus if you’re gaming or just listening to soundin general but i still think the htc boomsound speakers are best speakers for any phone butthat’s just my opinion. in terms of battery life, apple claims it can go to 11 hours witha single charge and from my testing i’ve only gotten about 9 hours i believe. so thebattery numbers aren’t really impressive at all but it should for the most get througha typical day of use fine but it really depends on your own usage patterns and what you doon your device. so overall i think the iphone 6 is a great device for what it can do, itgets the job done and it’s definitely the
best iphone yet with the larger display andextra horsepower but also keep in mind there are other devices on android or windows phonefor example that do exactly the same thing if not better, and in some cases cheaper aswell. so it’s really your decision but if you like, apple and ios, you can’t go wrongwith the best iphone to date. keep it locked it here on the muwen360 channel for much morecoverage on the iphone 6 over the coming days and week so subscriber and like for more iphone6 videos. the review is certainly not finished and i would love for you to stick around tosee even more great content. once again, i’m muwen360 and thank you so much for watching.
