The all new iPhone6 and iPhone6
The iPhone 6 features you probably missed
Beyond the borked keynote live cast, frustrating pre-order process and Android cult members saying iPhone 6 is like the Nexus 4, Apples thinner, lighter, faster and larger iPhone model is here, confirming almost every credible expectation listed here and here. Heres this weeks collection of little-known iPhone 6 facts.
Notice the power button
Did you notice Apple moved the power button in iPhone 6? This has always sat at the right on top the phone, but has now been moved to the top on the right side of the device.
Phase detection
These are the first phones in the world to be equipped with phase detection autofocusing, so youre going to get pro-quality automatic focusing while shooting videos or taking a picture. No other smartphone has this.
Focus Pixels
Focus Pixel improves exposure control in the 8-megapixel camera twice as fast as the iPhone 5S. Optical (previously digital) image stabilization, the capacity to shoot Full HD video at up to 60fps, 240fps slow motion (with 3x zoom) and a larger f2.2 aperture allows in up to 81% more light for better quality snaps.
Dual-domain
Apple has used dual-domain pixels inside the very bright (500cd/m2) displays on the new iPhones, so you can expect much better viewing angles even in uneven lighting conditions -- though black tones may seem slightly purple if the pixels are incorrectly arranged, so well see how that goes in manufacturing.
Much faster LTE/4G
Apple has radically improved the 4G/LTE support in this model. The iPhone 6 is capable of 4G download speds up to 150Mbps and will handle HD voice calling over 4G (which carriers want to turn us all onto). And it supports 20 LTE bands -- more than anyone else right now.
Wi-Fi wonder
Wi-Fi support is far, far better. You can look forward to Wi-Fi speeds up to three times faster than was possible on the previous generation iPhone thanks to its support for 802.11ac. This report explains why this matters. Support for VoLTE is a big deal.
Siri is aware
Apple has tweaked iPhones intelligent voice assistant, Siri; you no longer need to press the home button to call up the voice assistant, you only need to say "Hey Siri" and it activates for you.
