Review Of Apple’s iPhone 6
iPhone 6 has continued to enjoy prominence despite recent models with supposedly improved efficiency. Like iPhone 7, it measures 4.70 inches in screen. The touch screen display is bright and clear with the same resolution as iPhone 7 – 1334 x 750 pixels – which encourages use for photographic and video purposes.
The rear camera makes pictures of 8 mega pixels while the selfie (front camera) can make pictures of up to 1.2 mega pixels. It is convenient to take multiple shots with this model given the presence of the Burst (Continuous Shooting) Mode option. This allows one to take as many pictures as possible automatically, each shot coming about every half a second. This is enabled by holding down the shutter icon or one of the volume keys. It produces stellar motion pictures with its 60FPS (frames per second) and SLO-MO option for slow motion videos. Pictures and videos can also be duplicated before editing so that you can have the original after editing. Isn’t this a great feature? By the way, some of the special features of the phone cannot be experienced by merely taking calls and pinging. You got to surf the phone’s potentials and unravel the numerous features configured therein.
With its 8.0 iOS, performance is sure to be fast and enjoyable. The Touch ID, Apple’s fingerprint recognition feature, is noticeably quicker when unlocking the phone. Zipping through menus and opening apps are as slick an experience as breathing, when you are hale and hearty anyway. If you’re a bit of a mobile gamer then you’ll really enjoy playing the latest 3D games with all the extra graphical effects on the larger screen. The only issue noticeable in the performance has to do with certain apps. The Facebook app, for example, jerks and judders sometimes when in use.
In addition, the storage capacity is equally large. Although it has no MicroSD card slots, like all iPhones, it has relatively enough memory. The RAM is 1GB and the storage is 16GB. To assist in the use of this storage space, various connectivity options are provided. Some of them are WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, 3G, 4G, AirDrop, etc. But for contacts, you have only one SIM card to accommodate them. You can push extra contact numbers to the phone memory however.
The battery, built-in rechargeable lithium-ion, lasts longer in relation to the operations it performs. It has a capacity of 1810mAh and measures 138.10mm × 67.00mm × 6.90mm. It weighs 129.00 grams. It will interest you to know that, unlike in iPhone 6s and 7, the battery is easily removable, as in Nokia 3310. Remember this phone? We have really walked a long way, talking about phones.
The Reachability option on the phone makes usage convenient. This option allows you to use one hand consistently on the phone. This means that you could make options far at the top of the screen come down closer to allow you to select/click on them. Know this too: you can even customize the vibrations, not just the ringing tune. I mean vibration, such that you could know who is calling by the special sound of the vibration. Awesome! Right?
As for privacy, iPhone 6 scores high. Everything can be passworded including Notes. Your instagram messages, Facebook and Whatsapp chats, pictures and videos can all be securely passworded. This is not to say that the phone is for criminals or unhelpful at emergency.
On the contrary, the smartphone is emergency-conscious. Its Medical ID feature is the best emergency consideration in phones, as far as I know. This feature allows a user to input certain medical records about themselves in the phone such as blood group, allergies, emergency contacts, etc. This is programmed in such a way that all choice information can be accessible through the lock-screen on the Emergency function. Isn’t it assuring?
Newer versions of Apple iPhones abound and also presuppose improved performance but iPhone 6 has not ceased to be a great innovation. Whereas it may be outperformed by the succeeding models, it has not been shed of its great features and uniqueness. Haven read this review, you may want to know why you need to stop carrying your mobile phone in your pocket or bra.
