Apn Settings Simple Mobile Iphone 6 +picture
Architecture & Affectation
The Apple iPhone 6 is admirable and familiar. Two years ago I advised the fifth-generation iPod Touch, acceptable the aftermost in continued band of Apple media amateur designs. It was attenuate — so attenuate in actuality that the 5-megapixel camera lens ashore out a millimeter from the aluminum frame. It was all curves, with the barring of the aciculate bend about the display. It was, in essence, the ancestor for the iPad Air, iPad Mini and now the aberrant Apple iPhone 6.
There are differences. With a 4.7-inch affectation and a 0.27-inch blubbery profile, Apple’s iPhone 6 is beyond and, area the iPod Blow offers a 1,136 x 640 Retina display, the new iPhone introduces Apple’s 1,334 x 750 "Retina HD" display. Interestingly, both LCD displays activity the exact aforementioned 326 pixels per inch.
In Apple’s acknowledgment to curves (iPhone architecture had arced edges until the iPhone 4), it went a bit added with the iPhone 6. Instead of a aciculate appropriate bend abutting the aluminum anatomy to the glass, the advanced bottle of the iPhones 6 curves bottomward to accommodated the metal chassis.
Hold the buzz in your duke and you’ll attempt to acquisition a distinct edge. This is in abrupt adverse to every iPhone aback the iPhone 4.
At 4.6 ounces (just a few grams heavier, but still hardly thinner than the iPhone 5S), the iPhone 6 feels solid and not aerial in your hand.
It additionally feels a bit slippery. If you buy one, get a case with some anchor to it. The analogously sized Samsung Galaxy S5 does not accept the iPhone’s amazing design, but with a plastic, channelled aback and chic sides, it’s absurd to blooper out of anyone’s hands.
There are added changes on the iPhone 6, like axis the apostle into a alternation of ample holes and replacing the annular aggregate buttons with two ellipsoidal ones affiliated by a baby approach in the iPhone 6’s body.
Perhaps the biggest, though, is the new adjustment of the sleep/hold button. It’s no best on top of the buzz and instead sits on the appropriate about a fifth of the way down. This took some accepting acclimated to. As a longtime iPhone owner, I reflexively columnist the top of my buzz to put it to sleep. But I got acclimated to the new adjustment afterwards a brace of days.
The iPhone 6’s bland contour is access by the hardly bulging camera lens (instantly anchored by bottomward the buzz into one of Apple’s new, glassy accoutrement or silicone cases) and a set of artificial curve that run angular beyond the aback and abreast the top and basal edges. I don't decidedly affliction for these architecture elements, but they're necessary: The pieces of the anatomy serve as the phone's antennas, and the artificial is all-important to abstracted anniversary of them.
It’s account acquainted that, while the iPhone 6 is a third of an inch added and added than a bisected inch taller than the iPhone 5S, I begin it adequate to authority and use. My easily are boilerplate size, but because that your easily may be abundant abate or larger, your breadth may vary.
iOS 8
"Don’t worry, iOS 8 is absolutely apparent as an Apple adaptable interface. The enhancements are attenuate and, in my experience, smart."
Every smartphone is the sum of its parts: the design, the apparatus and, of course, the adaptable platform. Along with the iPhone 6 Plus, Apple's iPhone 6 is the aboriginal to address with the new iOS 8.
The adapted adaptable OS has a hardly cleaner attending than iOS 7 and a cardinal of appearance that decidedly enhance the iPhone-use experience.
Don’t worry, iOS 8 is absolutely apparent as an Apple adaptable interface. The enhancements are attenuate and, in my experience, smart.
You can now, for instance, acknowledge to notifications on the lock screen. Aback they appear, you aloof bash larboard and a dejected acknowledgment button appears. It’s again accessible to blazon a response, or alike almanac an audio one. I grew so acclimatized to this that I absent it aback I switched aback to my iOS 7-running iPhone 5S.
Swiping in iOS 8 will acceptable bound become a habit. In email, for instance, you can now bash larboard to bound annul email — additionally habit-forming.
Another big change is Apple’s QuickType keyboard with predictive text. Unlike the old accounting suggestions I acclimated to get on iOS 7, the keyboard offers a gray band of ever-changing chat suggestions appropriate aloft the keyboard as I type. They’re both spelling corrections and contextual choices.
The added you type, the bigger the suggestions get. It works so adamantine at award the appropriate words that you can accept some fun by accounting nonsense and absolution it daisy-chain calm appropriate words for a cool but not-complete-nonsense story.
There are absolutely a host of changes in iOS 8, abounding of which you’ll be able to acquaintance aback you advancement your accepted iPhone (and iPad), about there are a scattering that are iPhone 6-specific.
One is the new Bloom app that comes preloaded on the iPhone 6. The app works with the iPhone’s activity sensors and the new M8 motion coprocessor (an amend to the M7), which collects abstracts from all those sensors.
Health advance steps, ambit and flights of stairs climbed, which comes address of the iPhone 6’s new barometer or "relative distance sensor." (It cannot acquaint absolute altitude, like how far aloft sea akin you are.)
I ran up and bottomward the stairs and watched as the app counted the cardinal of times I climbed the stairs in absolute time. Eventually the Bloom app will serve as a hub for a host of third-party bloom accessories and should assignment absolutely accurately with the Apple Watch, which will address in 2015.
Cameras
"I never had to tap the screen, mid-capture, to advance the shot."
Apple's accommodation to stick with an 8-megapixel sensor for its iSight camera was surprising, abnormally because the 13MP and alike 20MP cameras begin on aggressive smartphones like the Nokia Lumia 1520.
Of course, the capital camera on the iPhone 6 isn't the aforementioned as the one begin in the iPhone 5S and absolutely has a cardinal of able appearance advised to enhance still photography and video. Best of them booty smartphone angel abduction to addition level.
Apple’s new Focus Pixels are advised to ascertain ablaze added bound and acceleration up the iSight camera’s autofocus capabilities.
I never begin the iPhone 5S' autofocus lacking, but aback I ran a simple analysis — accoutrement both smartphone lenses with my fingers and again seeing which could focus added bound on the arena aback I removed them — the iPhone 6 won every time. A agnate analysis with the Samsung Galaxy 5 showed little difference, admitting the closing had a addiction of aggravating to refocus alike aback the arena was already in focus.
Panorama pictures additionally get an upgrade. The iPhone 5S shoots panoramas at about 28 megapixels. Alike admitting its sensor is technically the aforementioned quality, the iPhone 6 can shoot stunning, 43-megapixel panoramas. The activating auto acknowledgment ensured absolute acknowledgment alike capacity are blithely aflame or backlit. I never had to tap the screen, mid-capture, to advance the shot.

The front-facing FaceTime Camera gets an update, too, with bigger ablaze achievement and a new access mode, which works absolutely the aforementioned way as the advanced iSight’s camera’s access mode: Aloof authority the home button bottomward to booty an about absolute cardinal of selfies. The iPhone 6 chooses the best ones and you can abandon or accumulate the others.
The aftereffect is better, or more, selfies — not abiding if that’s a acceptable thing. On the ablaze side, FaceTime video looks brighter and bluff than ever.
You can additionally shoot time-lapse videos (yes, like Hyperlapse) on the iPhone 6, but this is added a activity of iOS 8 than the new phone. If you own an iPhone 5S or iPad Air or iPad Mini With Retina Display, you’ll additionally be able to shoot time-compressed video.
The iPhone 6’s video capabilities are mind-bogglingly good. While the absence ambience for video is 1080p, 30 frames per additional (fps), you can go into settings and change it to 60 fps. The consistent video has an about hyper-real look; about bodies and altar attending like you could ability out and blow them.
The iPhone 5S alien 120 fps slow-motion video. It was the aboriginal time I anytime had a accessory that could shoot slo-mo video, and it was entertaining.
Still it couldn’t apathetic bottomward everything. A airship popping, for example, was too fast. The iPhone 6’s iSight camera and its accompaniment A8 chip, though, accept upped the ante. It can abduction video at 240 fps. That slows bottomward aloof about everything.
Combined with new connected autofocus, the iPhone 6’s 240-fps slo-mo is now a able accurate apparatus that can add ball and absorption to aloof about any scene.
I did a cardinal of abstracts with baptize droplets. You don’t apprehend how abundant happens aback a bead of baptize acreage in a bottle cup until you’ve apparent it at bright 240 fps. I absolutely saw things in the iPhone 6 video that I did not in what iPhone 5S captures.
Technology
The iPhone 6 is powered by a new A8 chip. It’s a dual-core, ARM-based adaptable processor active at about 1.38 GHz. It’s backed by 1GB of RAM and accompanying with the M8 motion processor.
If you go absolutely by the numbers, the iPhone 6 apparatus don’t complete decidedly absorbing abutting to the Samsung Galaxy S5’s Qualcomm 801 quad-core CPU active at 2.5GHz and backed by 2GB of RAM.
The reality, though, is that the iPhone 6 is acutely a able phone--possibly aloof as powerful, if not added so, than the Samsung Galaxy S5. I ran Geekbench 3 on the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, the Galaxy S5 and the LG G3 phablet, which additionally runs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon CPU.
However, the iPhone’ 6’s single-core dent denticulate about bifold that of the Galaxy S5 and G3. The multi-core array were much, abundant closer, but the iPhone 6 still came out on top.
In applied terms, though, this doesn’t beggarly the iPhone 6 assault the Galaxy S5 and LG G3 out of the water. All these phones are fast. In the case of the iPhone 6, I ran through abundant apps, none of which accept been upgraded for iOS 8 and begin all of them ran perfectly.
Apple touts the GPU performance, so I absitively to run the anew accessible Bioshock on it. Again, the bold was not accounting accurately for the iPhone 6 and does not advantage iOS 8’s new Metal cartoon engine, but I was still afflicted with how acceptable it looked and how able-bodied the bold runs.
Apple additionally upgraded the LTE and Wi-Fi radios, with the closing accepting an 802.11ac upgrade. This Wi-Fi accepted is apparently four times faster than 802.11n, but your acquaintance will depend on whether or not your home router and added hotspots you affix to abutment the faster standard. What I noticed is that it fabricated web browsing aloof as fast as on the Samsung Galaxy S5, which additionally supports 802.11ac.
Achievement
The iPhone 6 is able of up to 14 hours of array activity (for 3G talk), but will added about accord you 10 hours of life. In my tests, I got amid 10 and 12 hours accomplishing a mix of web browsing, photography, video and gaming.
Starting at $199 for a 16GB model, the iPhone 6 is the aboriginal iPhone to skip 32GB absolutely and jump appropriate to 64GB for $299. There's additionally a 128GB archetypal for $399. The iPhone 6 (and it's beyond brother, the iPhone 6 Plus) is accessible on all above carriers: AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. I activated an iPhone 6 on Verizon’s LTE network.
Apple iPhone 6 is a aces almsman to all the iPhones that accept appear afore it. It's attractive, solid, well-crafted, able and exciting. It’s about a buzz in name only, though, aback calls are the atomic of what it can do (it handles them aloof fine).
Thanks to hundreds of bags of apps to accept from, it’s a fun gaming device, an able abundance tool, a able still and video camera, a aperture to a apple of advice and agreeable (movies and TV attending accomplished on it) and an absorbing altitude and tracking tool.
"The best affected and able smartphone on the market."
There are, however, abounding things I couldn’t test. Apple Pay, which uses a aggregate of the iPhone 6’s congenital NFC dent and Blow ID (which lives on the home button and has not been updated) for accurate tap and pay activity doesn’t go alive until October.
Health is acceptable for what it is, but appropriate now it's mostly abeyant abeyant until third parties alpha amalgam with Apple's new HealthKit framework. Continuity, which allows you to abide conversations started on the iPhone on a Mac, isn’t accessible yet.
On the added hand, I can’t say I absolutely absent any of these features.
There are added smartphones that do some of the things an iPhone 6 can do. Others, like the Samsung Galaxy S5 do more. It and the Amazon Fire Buzz absolutely watch you and acknowledge to your gaze. Alike so, none put it all calm in absolutely the aforementioned way. I do absence the edges of the old iPhone design, but Apple’s iPhone 6 is, for my $200, the best affected and able smartphone on the market.
