iPhone 6, 6s plus screen size: phone diagonals in centimeters

Each smartphone has distinctive characteristics - resolution, display diagonal, which plays an important role when choosing a gadget. In Russia, buyers love the Samsung and iPhone brands. They are often purchased and always in demand. Let's look at the diagonal of the iPhone 6, evaluate its disadvantages and advantages, and also compare it with the “six plus” version.

iPhone 6 phone

Apple has developed many models, but did not make phones with large screens a trend. However, in 2022 it released two models at once - iPhone 6 with a 4.7″ panel and iPhone 6 Plus with a 5.5″ diagonal.

Device contents

The boxes for both smartphones are the same. At the top there is a symbol of the device, on the side there is an apple and the name. The back of the package lists the functionality, equipment, memory, shade of the smartphone, version, etc.

Phone diagonals

Inside there is a needle to open the nano-SIM slot, stickers in the shape of the Apple logo, a Lightning cable, a charger, and a headset. The phone is available in three colors – golden, dark gray, silver.

Screen

The screens of both smartphones are better than just “good”. The display resolution of the iPhone 6 is 1334x750 (326 ppi), which is 38% more than that of the iPhone 5S, the resolution of the 6 Plus is 1920x1080 (401 ppi), which is 185% more than the previous model.

As expected from Retina HD, it has rich colors, high contrast and wide viewing angles.

Personally, when working with the iPhone 6, I didn’t notice much difference between the screen with the iPhone 5S. Only that it is bigger.

The display of the iPhone 6 Plus is another matter. The clarity is incredible, photos look great, the same can be said for videos, text readability is very high. Color rendition, brightness - all this pleases the eye of even the most biased critics.

By the way, both screens have very low susceptibility to glare, which is good news.

Appearance of the device

Bluetooth 5.0 transmits data at a speed of 2 Mbit/s. Above the display there are sensors, a 1.2 MP front camera, and a speaker. At the bottom there is a round touch key with a sapphire coating.

On the left side of the case there is a button for adjusting the volume, on the right there is a power button and a compartment for a nano format card.

Charging socket

At the bottom there are 8 speaker holes, a Lightning connector, a microphone, and an audio compartment. On the back of the panel there is an 8 megapixel camera, an additional microphone and a dual flash.

The camera protruding forward doesn't look particularly neat, but that's not that important. The main thing is that thanks to the sapphire glass, its peephole is not subject to scratches or other damage. It is recommended to put a cover or case on your smartphone, then the camera will be inside.

Images and videos obtained thanks to the camera of the six+ model are high-quality, bright, and juicy. The technical specifications indicate that the matrix is ​​equipped with full support for the sRGB color standard with dual-domain pixels.

Model difference

This allows colors to be displayed accurately and clearly at a wider viewing angle. iPhone 6+ reproduces shades with high quality. Black looks deep, white is as close to white as possible.

Iron

Both models have a 64-bit dual-core A8 processor (1.4 GHz), 1 GB of RAM. At the presentation, Tim Cook said that the A8's performance has increased by 25% and graphics by 50%.

In everyday use, I felt this difference only when loading heavy games with 3D graphics faster and when launching maps.

There's also a barometer, a new sensor that makes fitness apps smarter. Thanks to it, applications not only count the number of steps, but also detect if a person is climbing stairs or walking uphill.

In addition, the M8 “motion coprocessor” has been updated, which has learned to distinguish between the types of sports activities.

Since the functionality of the new chip, which supports contactless Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, is limited to the Apple Pay mobile payment platform, it is useless for Russian users. Access to it for third-party systems and developers is currently closed.

The new chipset increases data transfer speeds within LTE networks to 150 megabits per second; Wi-Fi data transfer speed has tripled (802.11ac standard is supported).

Features of the iPhone 6 Screen

Available advantages:

1. The screen is protected by a smooth polished panel and a grease-repellent layer. This reduces the risk of scratches and finger marks.
2. Using the settings, you can get a good photo in any lighting. It will also be comfortable to read and view files at any time. The brightness itself is adjusted depending on the light. This quality emphasizes the advantage of the smartphone.
3. When working with the phone, you can rotate it vertically and horizontally. Before doing this, it is important to unblock it.
4. While the phone is not needed and is lying down, you can turn off the backlight so as not to waste charge. SMS and calls will continue as usual.

In the shop

Among the disadvantages of the smartphone are the following:

1. Due to its large size, the iPhone 6+ is awkward to hold in your pocket.
2. In the six+ version, the finger cannot always reach the desired point on the screen. In this case, the function of zooming in on the upper half of the image will not help.
3. The software allows you to easily view pictures on your phone in low light conditions. But if repairs are needed, replacing the screen on it will cost a large sum. This will be significantly more expensive than other models that do not have this feature.

Before the purchase

If you ask residents which phone is better, practical or large, the reviews will be divided into two camps. Apple did not split hairs and released the sixth version in 2 sizes. What is better to buy – a spectacular smartphone that displays colorful pictures, or a practical, convenient gadget? It all depends on the purpose for which a person needs it.

Phone characteristics

It is better for a teacher, doctor, entrepreneur, or salesperson to give preference to equipment with small dimensions. It is convenient to hold it in your hand, write messages, put it in your pocket or purse, and answer calls.

Innovations of the iPhone 6 smartphone

Let's reveal the secret why the creator of a phone with a larger screen did not dare to release it for so long. Apple CEO Steve Jobs was confident that such a development would be unsuccessful; people would not buy a large device because it was inconvenient to use and not ergonomic. But his fears were not justified.

iPhone lineup

The sixth version of the iPhone has captured about 40% of the large phone market. They are especially popular in their homeland in the USA and Asian countries.

In addition to enlarging the screen, the developers have improved the phone's hardware:

• standard content viewing mode, which contains a little more information;
• enlarged display mode. With it, the interface icons are larger in size;
• in standard mode, iPhone 6 and 6+ can be placed on a table and it will work in a horizontal position;
• To make it easier to operate with one hand, the content is lowered to the center of the display. That is, if the user needs to touch the virtual button at the top of the screen, then he must double-click on Nome and perform the action. This is not entirely convenient in everyday life, but people use it;
• iPhones require two-handed operation.

Different colors

Let's talk separately about the fingerprint scanner. It is used by various gadget developers. Apple has installed a Touch ID sensor, first built into the 5S version. The scanner turned out to be functional and appropriate. It does not take up additional space since it is built into the button.

Reacts the first time with a light touch.

First of all, a fingerprint scanner is installed for security. For many users, it simplifies the process of purchasing and downloading information from the App Store. If it is not there, you must always enter a password; with a scanner, one click is enough.

Ease of use

The fingerprint device makes the process of unlocking your iPhone easier. Simply press the Home button and your fingerprint is read. There is no need to carry out any additional actions; you also do not need to wait for the finger to be recognized.

Comparative characteristics of iPhone 6 and 6+

The smartphone screen is one of the main indicators, since its owner is in contact with it. It is interesting that the display is assessed not by image quality and ease of use, but by resolution, now pixel density.

The screen parameters of the two iPhone 6 models are presented in the table below.

If you compare the iPhone with the previous gadget, it differs in its screen. Both models became a real breakthrough in the Apple phone series. The screen sizes have not changed since 2012. In the sixth version, customers were offered a successful smartphone with interesting innovations.

iPhone 6 Specifications

For iPhone 6, the usual diagonal dimensions have been increased from 4 to 4.7 inches. For version 6+ it is 5.5, which made it a full-fledged phablet option (this is a stylish class of phones that combines devices with a display from 5 to 7 inches).

Statistics have shown that the sale of such gadgets is growing and becoming more in demand, so iPhone developers have tailored the 6+ model to customer requests. The diagonal of the iPhone 6 plus is 5.5″.

The two models differ from the previous ones not only in screen size, but also in design. The developers decided to deviate from the straight lines of the body lines and made them rounded, thereby causing confusion among consumers. The shades chosen were classic – silver, space grey, golden.

Differences and similarities

We list below how many differences there are between the iPhone 6 and 6+ smartphones:

1. Dimensions. This is the main thing worth mentioning in this section. The iPhone 6+ screen size is 0.8 inches larger. The length of the “six” is 13.8 cm, width – 6.7 centimeters. The “plus” version has heights of 15.8 and 7.8 cm. The diagonal of the iPhone 6s remains the same as the six. The creators did not increase it; they focused on screen resolution. Version 6c is visually similar to the previous one, but there have been changes in the technical content. Length and screen remain the same. The thickness has increased by 0.2 mm, and the s version has become 15 g heavier. iPhone 6 16Gb Space Gray weighs 129 grams and has a diagonal of 4.7 inches.
2. Screen resolution. The “Plus Model” is designed with 1920x1080 pixels. Its brother has a resolution of 1334x750. At the same time, the number of pixels per 1 inch is the same - 326
3. The camera of the “plus” version has built-in optical image stabilization.
4. Battery. If a person likes to talk on the phone for a long time, it is worth purchasing the “plus” version, since its power is higher. When talking, the iPhone 6's battery lasts 14 hours, its brother's - 24. This noticeable difference in power is due to the fact that the semi-tablet iPhone 6 Plus is designed for more serious work with multimedia applications. In many ways, it replaces a tablet for its owners.

Comparison

Similar features:

1. Same A8 processor and 64-bit architecture. Both devices have 2 cores at 1.4 GHz. Thanks to this, the models are distinguished by their high speed and power. They are convenient to use even when installing serious applications. RAM is 1 GB, in the + model it was increased to 2.
2. Same memory and price category. Two models are developed in three types - 16 gb, 32 gb, 64 gb, 128 gb. The larger the capacity, the higher the price.
3. Camera. Both variants are equipped with an 8 megapixel camera with a fast 5-lens lens and facial recognition function.
4. Equally good high quality video recording at 1080p resolution. The 1.2 megapixel front camera allows you to take burst photos.
5. Almost similar technical characteristics.
