Apple
has outdone itself in the buzzwords game. The new Retina HD display is
an ultra thin IPS display with 326ppi pixel density for iPhone 6,
capable of wider viewing angles.
is it
Gorilla Glass? Is it a Sapphire screen as rumoured? No, it’s a brand new
ion strengthened screen. While there are absolutely no details on this
mysterious new screen technology, which curves neatly around the sides
of the iPhone. We should have more details on this Ion technology when
we get them. As long as it makes iPhone tougher to break, we are fine. While
the Android world is still floundering in the dark for 64-bit processor,
the only significant next step in mobile technology, Apple has bettered
its superb A7 processor with the A8, using a 20nm manufacturing
process. Not only that, Apple claims that it will perform better over a longer period of time. In a
surprising move, Apple revealed the Metal API for game developers to
take advantage of in pushing the graphical envelope of their games.
Steve Jobs had never been big on gaming for years and Bungie story is
the biggest example of that. However, it’s great to see Tim Cook
making big strides into gaming territory, especially since the App
Store has some of the best games on mobile devices to date. Apple’s
M8 health chip has gotten better, with the ability to measure relative
distance and elevation, and can tell the difference between cycling and
running. While elevation helps in tracking the amount of steps
you climb, the Nike+ app was shown displaying relative elevation on
hikes by using the barometer too.
A
feature that iPhone users have been screaming hoarse about and Samsung
A
feature that iPhone users have been screaming hoarse about and Samsung
has taken the opportunity to jab at in their ads is the bad IPhone
battery life.
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus support 802.11ac, the superfast new Wi-Fi band that’s all the rage. Apple
claims the new iPhones can browse up to 3x faster on Wi-Fi which is
good if you happened to have put down a lot of money on one of the first
802.11ac modems. Though
Apple did not stuff more megapixels in the new iPhones, it’s 8
megapixel snapper has grown up. With True Tone Flash and with the 1.5
Micron pixel sensor, Apple seems to be taking a cue from HTC’s handbook
with ultrapixels. Apple has also introduced Focus Pixels for faster
auto-focus with phase detection, and an aperture of f/2.2. iSight camera
can take a stunning 43MP panorama.
It has an image signal processor to aid in all the image-heavy lifting. Both iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have auto (optical) image stabilisation: an absolute first for an iPhone. The camera can capture 1080p video at 30 or 60 fps and slow motion video at 240 fps. With Cinematic Video Stabilisation, and using Focus Pixels, you can get continuous autofocus in video. The selfie has bought the front-facing camera into the limelight. A Facetime HD camera with a yet unknown megapixel count. However, it’s capable of beautiful selfies, with improved face detection.
The most important feature is burst selfies, which takes a bunch of pictures in one shot, allowing you to never miss a moment. the cherry on top of the iPhone 6 cake is iOS 8. While we have seen several features already, it’s great to know that in just a few days, you’ll be updating your devices on September 17.
What’s amazing is how Apple has managed the scaling so well. The iPhone 6 gets a scaled-up iPhone screen size whereas the iPhone 5.5 looks like it gets scaled-down iPad apps. Sharply handled and planned, so the user will hit the ground running with fantastic looking apps out of the box.
