Announcement of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Appearance.
Yesterday, Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, introduced two new models of phones - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Devices have acquired a new design, new sizes and more advanced multi-functional capabilities. The first thing that rushes outside is completely new dimensions, the width and height of the new products have grown due to enlarged monitors, the diagonal of which is even more than in the 5th series models.
By looking at the image, you will roughly understand How many the proportions of the screen and the phone itself have increased. If the phone iPhone 5 and 5S diagonal was - 4 inches, then the new items are equipped with the following monitor sizes:
iPhone 6 - 4.7 inches The iPhone 6 Plus even more - 5.5 inches.
iPhone 5S: unboxing
In general, screens are growing by leaps and bounds, on the one hand, this is certainly good, it is more convenient to view content, but it will hardly be comfortable to carry classic jeans in your pocket if new models fit into them at all. Well, ardent admirers of new products will have to go to the store and buy panties with side patch pockets, so as not to carry them in their hands. It’s a little easier for girls, they almost always have a bag with an iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will fit exactly.
As a result of the use of new larger displays, there has been an increase in the height, width and weight of the new iPhones:
Height and width.
iPhone 5S - 123.8 x 58.6 mm. iPhone 6 - 138.1 x 67 mm. iPhone 6 Plus - 158.1 x 77.8 mm.
Of course, the new items increased in size became heavier, which was to be expected:
Device weight:
Weight iPhone 5S - 112 gr. Weight iPhone 6 - 129 gr. Weight iPhone 6 Plus - 172 gr.
But the thickness of the new iPhone models pleases, because they have become even thinner:
iPhone Thickness 5S - 7.6 mm. Thickness iPhone 6 - 6.9 mm. iPhone Thickness 6 Plus - 7.1 mm.
We figured out the external parameters, now let's examine the new design of the case and other elements. Finally, Apple designers have removed the sharp corners that were used earlier, starting with the iPhone 4. A phone with a smoothly smoothed edging, in my opinion, is not only more attractive to the eye, but I think it will be more pleasant to hold such a handset in your hand.
Moreover, the glass in 6 models does not seem to be as flat as it used to be. For example, in the very first iPhone model, a special chrome frame performed the rounding effect, but now the glass itself is rounded, it seems to be a continuation of the case.
The mute switch and volume buttons remain the same, but the buttons have been redesigned to look similar to those used on the 5th generation iPod touch. The power button (lock) has moved to the right side, this solution is apparently borrowed from Samsung Galaxy S smartphones. Now you can reach the lock button with one hand, although it all depends on the length of the user's fingers, the button is located above the SIM card tray ( see the very first picture to the article).
The top of the iPhone was completely empty, no button, no headphone jack. The colors of the new models are the same as those used in the iPhone 5S - Champagne Spray, Space Gray, Silver. There is a choice.
I look at it all - beauty. The only thing that repels is the antenna strips in the upper and lower parts of the case, and the same ugly Home key with a built-in Touch ID fingerprint scanner. If not for the last two nuances, then I think I would think about buying an iPhone 6, provided that it fits into my pocket. In the meantime, I will go with my iPhone 2G, which has no worthy replacement yet.

Not a complete review!
there is not even about the battery life that it has grown like a kapets.
About the new processor, about the increased performance, about the new m8 coprocessor.

Part 1: Evaluate Design, Improved Performance, and Fingerprint Scanner
Traditionally, in September, Apple introduced a new version of its iPhone. True, this time two variants of the smartphone were presented at once: the top-end iPhone 5s and the cheaper plastic iPhone 5c. And today we can personally get acquainted with the first of these two new products.
I went to the site, where all the voiced information about the iPhone 5s and 5c is told (positioning, the main differences between the two models, etc.). Therefore, we will not repeat them and immediately move on to talking about competitors, but for clarity, we will list the characteristics of the iPhone 5s.

First, Apple has so far ignored the huge screen trend. “Thank God,” some readers will say. But people are still gradually getting used to larger screens - if not 6 inches (this is still an amateur), but, say, 5 inches has long been considered a completely universal size. And after a smartphone with a 5-inch screen, the user is unlikely to want to buy a device with a 4-inch screen.
Secondly, in terms of dpi density and performance characteristics, the iPhone is no longer the leader (although, of course, even with lower performance, the iPhone often provides better user experience due to good optimization of the software platform). Let's take a look at how Apple's new flagship compares to its predecessor, as well as rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Sony Xperia Z1.

As you can see from the specs, the iPhone 5s has only three advantages over Sony and Samsung's flagships, two of which are quite mysterious. Firstly, it is a 64-bit processor (the big question is whether this gives a real performance advantage), and secondly, the ability to shoot video at 120 frames per second. Finally, thirdly, it is a smaller mass / thickness. However, in terms of thickness, the difference with both competitors is minimal (less than 1 mm).
On all other fronts, the new iPhone is inferior to its rivals: the density of dots per inch of the screen, and the amount of RAM, and the characteristics of the SoC (not counting 64-bit), and the resolution of the rear camera, and the battery capacity, and microSD support ... But we will not draw conclusions ahead of time, especially since Apple devices are always difficult to compare with Android smartphones only on the basis of characteristics. Therefore, let's get down to personal acquaintance with the iPhone 5s.
Equipment
iPhone 5 is available in three color options: white with silver, black with silver, and white with gold. We tested it in black and silver, but its box is white.
The package contents are identical to the iPhone 5: an envelope with information leaflets, stickers with the Apple logo, a paperclip to remove the SIM tray, EarPods, a cable for connecting to a PC via USB or to a 220 V plug, and a charger.
As with the iPhone 5, we note as a big plus the presence of EarPods, which, unlike most smartphone headphones, give really decent sound quality and fit comfortably in your ears.
Design
As expected, the design of the iPhone 5s is almost identical to the design of the iPhone 5 (apart from color differences, which we will definitely tell you about). On the one hand, this design looks quite advantageous even now, but, of course, there is no novelty effect, and in today's rapidly changing market, this is already risky.
However, some effect of updating is brought by new color schemes. It's not even about the notorious golden case, but about the gray back panel on the black version of the smartphone. This shade is richer and more interesting than last year's black. Although - there may be different opinions.
The second, in addition to color, difference is the changed front button. Now it feels a little different, it is not concave, but just a little recessed into the body. And, of course, now it does not have a white square drawn on it. As for the rest of the buttons, they are located identically to the previous model.
On the left side are two round volume buttons, as well as a mute switch. On the top edge is the Power button. All buttons are pressed quite tightly, with a distinct sound.
On the bottom edge there is a Lightning connector, a 3.5 mm headset jack, as well as speaker holes (on the right) and a built-in microphone (on the left).
On the right side there is only a cradle for a Nano-SIM standard SIM card (the same SIM cards were used in the iPhone 5, but since then they have not become a standard for other smartphone manufacturers).
We also note the impeccable build quality: one can only admire how well all the elements of the case are made.
Summing up the conversation about design, we admit that the introduction of previously unused color schemes certainly introduces an element of novelty, although in general there is a feeling that Apple is no longer keeping up with the market. The design of the iPhone is good, but not so good that two years without making any significant changes to it.
Fingerprint's scanner
One of the main "chips" of the new iPhone is a fingerprint scanner. It is located on the Home button. You can add multiple fingers to the device, and you can use the scanner when unlocking (instead of a password) or when shopping in the App Store and iTunes Store, which is much more convenient than entering a password every time.
You can enter your fingerprint into the system either during the initial setup of the iPhone, or later, through the Settings menu. Creating a fingerprint is simple and intuitive: you are asked to touch the Home button several times (about 10-15 times). Once the system remembers your fingerprint, you can touch the Home button by placing your finger in different ways: a slight change in the angle of touch does not matter. After creating the fingerprint, we had no problems using it - the system quickly recognizes your finger.
Screen
The screen of the iPhone 5s has not changed compared to the previous version of the flagship of the Apple smartphone line. This is the old 4 inches and 1136×640 dots, which gives a density of 326 dpi. But if a year ago these parameters still looked acceptable, today they seem frankly outdated. Most manufacturers equip their top devices with Full HD screens and achieve dot densities in excess of 400 ppi. And only Apple still has not even reached the resolution of 720p.
Another thing is how necessary the race for the number of pixels per inch and other characteristics is here. Because even despite not the most attractive parameters, the iPhone 5s screen still looks great and does not cause any feeling of friability of fonts or any other negative emotions. But it is significant that Apple, which three years ago became a trendsetter with its Retina display in the iPhone 4 and seemed to be the undisputed leader, today lags even behind the average.
Software
iPhone 5s comes pre-installed with iOS 7. And a day and a half before the release of the new iPhone, it became available for download to owners of previous versions of iOS devices. A lot of copies have already been broken about iOS 7, and the Internet is full of parodies and demotivators about iOS 7 and the struggle of Apple chief designer Jony Quince against skeuomorphism (imitation of real objects with their shadows, etc.).
We will not list the features of iOS 7, since this is already done in the report from the Apple presentation, but we will talk about our subjective impressions of using iOS 7.
First impression: she really looks fresh. Whether you like the new style or hate it, Apple has long missed such a bold update. But the colors are still too acidic: as if I got into a store of candy and other children's sweets. In addition, many icons look so different from the previous version that it is not easy to find them. For example, try to find the Kiosk icon right away!
Second impression: Jony Ive, seizing upon the design of iOS, decided, it seems, to redo it entirely, in all details. Even little things like downloading apps look different now. And you can't say which is better. Just different (see right screenshot above). Perhaps it was not worth it to take on innovations so zealously - you could first, say, let people get used to the new visual style, and then introduce changes.
Third impression: the new fonts really made the system look more elegant and lighter. This is especially striking on the iPad, but on the iPhone everything has become more airy thanks to the fonts.
And the last thing: a lot of really convenient and long-awaited things have appeared (for example, a single browser line or the ability to quickly get to the flashlight and Airplane mode), but their development is aggravated by the need to get used to many others - purely external (that is, not containing new functionality or convenience) - changes.
Can we recommend iOS 7? We are all realists and we understand that sooner or later all users of more or less new iPhone models will have to switch to it. Well, buyers of the iPhone 5s and 5c and no one gives a choice. On the other hand, it's not such a tragedy. Everything changes, develops, and iOS 7 cannot be unequivocally assessed as more (or less) successful than iOS 6. Although we would prefer that all the innovations contained in it be divided into two full releases.
Performance
The iPhone 5s runs on Apple's new SoC, the A7 (recall that the iPhone 5 had the Apple A6). The main feature of the new SoC is the 64-bit “desktop class” architecture (as was said at the presentation).
If not for this feature, so far unseen for mobile devices, then the characteristics of the new SoC would only cause disappointment and skepticism. Judge for yourself: the processor frequency is ridiculous 1.3 GHz, and there are only two cores (although quad-core CPUs are already found even in budget devices). True, the ARMv8 instruction set is used here, on the basis of which the new architecture, called Cyclone, is made.
In addition, the exact GPU model is not reported, but it is presumably the sixth PowerVR SGX GPU series, which has not yet been used in other devices.
As for the amount of RAM, it remained unchanged compared to the iPhone 5 - 1 GB (which again is very small by today's standards).
But in the end, it's pointless to draw any conclusions based on the characteristics alone, and it's much more interesting to see what results the new iPhone shows in benchmarks.
Let's start with browser tests: SunSpider 1.0, Octane Benchmark and Kraken Benchmark. In all cases, we used the Safari browser from iOS 7 on Apple devices, and Google Chrome on Android.
As we can see, the difference between iPhone 5s and iPhone 5 is more than significant. But it is also indicative that all competitors are left behind. Unless NVIDIA Shield (which, by the way, has the closest screen resolution to the iPhone) was able to overtake the new product in one of the three tests. But the rest of the result is eloquent.
Now let's see how the iPhone 5s performs in Geekbench 2, a multi-platform benchmark that measures CPU and RAM performance.
The results of this test are seriously affected by the number of CPU cores, so the result is quite natural: due to the more progressive architecture, the Apple iPhone 5s greatly outperforms its predecessor, but is noticeably inferior to multi-core Android competitors.
Left - iPhone 5s results, right - iPhone 5
Here the difference between the iPhone 5 and 5s is no longer so striking, although it is still there, and quite significant.
Now let's look at GPU performance. Two multi-platform benchmarks are available here: GFXBench (former GLBenchmark 2.7) and 3DMark. Let's start with the GFXBench results.
| Apple iPhone 5s (Apple A7) |
Apple iPhone 5 (Apple A6) |
NVIDIA Shield (NVIDIA Tegra 4) |
Samsung Galaxy S4 (Exynos 5410 Octa) |
Sony Xperia Z1 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 800) |
|
| GFXBench 2.7.2 T-Rex HD (C24Z16 Offscreen) | 25 fps | 6.6 fps | 24 fps | 11.7 fps | 23 fps |
| GFXBench 2.7.2 T-Rex HD (C24Z16 Onscreen) | 27 fps | 13.6 fps | 39 fps | 12.9 fps | 24 fps |
| GFXBench 2.7.2 T-Rex HD (C24Z16 Offscreen Fixed Timestep) | 23 fps | 6.6 fps | 23 fps | 11.3 fps | 21 fps |
| GFXBench 2.7.2 T-Rex HD (C24Z16 Onscreen Fixed Timestep) | 26 fps | 13.8 fps | 36 fps | 11.3 fps | 23 fps |
| GFXBench 2.7.2 Egypt HD (C24Z16) | 56 fps | 29.7 fps | 59 fps | 40.0 fps | 59 fps |
| GFXBench 2.7.2 Egypt HD (C24Z16 Offscreen) | 48 fps | 40.4 fps | 65 fps | 38.1 fps | 55 fps |
And what do we see? Previously, Apple devices were the undisputed leaders in this benchmark. But now the picture has changed: at least two SoCs - NVIDIA Tegra 4 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 - are not inferior to the latest Apple SoCs in terms of GPU performance, and in some ways they surpass it. The only good thing is the progress of the latter compared to the iPhone 5. Well, speaking apart from the competition with Android devices, the iPhone 5s, of course, looks like an ideal mobile gaming platform, and for at least another two years all new games will be tough for him.
Here the situation is similar. The iPhone 5s performed well overall (Maxed out! in the weaker mode is especially revealing, meaning that this test is too easy for the iPhone 5s), but compared to Android flagships, they are no longer as impressive.
In general, judging by the benchmarks, the miracle did not happen: Apple A7, coupled with 1 GB of RAM, performed on a par or even lost to Android flagships in most tests. But on the other hand, he left the Apple A6 far behind, so progress within the same platform pleases. In the end, for iPhone users, this is even more important, because even when using multi-platform benchmarks, the comparison with Android devices is not entirely correct: developers optimize their applications for Apple devices more carefully, and this allows them to use their hardware capabilities more efficiently. Therefore, despite the not the most outstanding result “in parrots”, the conclusion for practical use will be this: if you want to play the coolest mobile games in the next two years, buy an iPhone 5s. And it doesn't matter how many bits, gigahertz and cores there are. While it is not so important.
However, another conclusion is also important for the industry: it is becoming more and more difficult for Apple to compete in this field, and if earlier iOS devices were unambiguously leaders in performance, and today the result is ambiguous, then it is possible that in a year Apple will already be catching up, and no software will help. optimizations and other features of the iOS platform.
Offline work
The battery capacity of the iPhone 5s has only slightly increased compared to the iPhone 5. And judging by the gaming tests (taking full advantage of the increased performance), this is clearly not enough. In GLBenchmark 2.5.1, the iPhone 5 battery lasted (before it automatically shuts off) about 2 hours and 22 minutes (at maximum brightness and maximum settings). And the iPhone 5s did not reach two hours.
On the other hand, in everyday use, we did not experience a significant reduction in battery life compared to the iPhone 5. However, we only had the device on the test for two days, so it's too early to draw any conclusions.
Note that when using GPU tests, the smartphone got very hot. It was uncomfortable to hold it in my hands.
A full battery charge takes less than two hours.
Communications and mobile internet
During the short time that we had the iPhone 5s for testing, no communication problems were noticed during telephone conversations. The interlocutor's voice is quite loud and clear, we did not encounter signal breaks or weakening during the conversation (although we took the phone with both left and right hands, tried to grasp it in different ways). The number of points demonstrating the signal level varied from 3 to 5.
The main intrigue was whether the new iPhone supports Russian LTE networks. And here the situation is mysterious: judging by the characteristics, European models have support for Russian bands. But in fact iPhone 5s can't connect to 4G. This information was confirmed by representatives of the operators, for whom it also came as a surprise. The iPhone 5s appears to be software-blocked for networks not approved or tested by Apple. Thus, we can hope that by the time the iPhone 5s is officially released in Russia, LTE support will appear, but now it is not. And the main question here is whether the “gray” smartphones previously imported from Europe will have LTE support or will they remain without access to 4G.
In the second part of the article, we will test the screen of the smartphone in detail, as well as study the camera in detail and compare it with the iPhone 5, after which we will summarize.
