iPhone 6 isn’t simply bigger — it’s better in every way. Larger, yet
dramatically thinner. More powerful, but remarkably power efficient.
With a smooth metal surface that seamlessly meets the new Retina HD
display. It’s one continuous form where hardware and software function
in perfect unison, creating a new generation of iPhone that’s better by
any measure.
iPhone at its largest.
In creating iPhone 6, we scrutinized every
element and material. That’s how we arrived at a smooth, continuous
form. A thinner profile made possible by our thinnest display yet. And
intuitively placed buttons. All made with beautiful anodized aluminum,
stainless steel, and glass. It’s a thousand tiny details that add up to
something big. Or in this case, two big things: iPhone 6 and
iPhone 6 Plus.
An innovative seamless design.
The first thing you notice when you hold iPhone 6 is how great
it feels in your hand. The cover glass curves down around the sides to
meet the anodized aluminum enclosure in a remarkable, simplified design.
There are no distinct edges. No gaps. Just a smooth, seamless bond of
metal and glass that feels like one continuous surface.
Streamlined. Inside and out.
Designing a larger iPhone without making it feel bigger was no
small task. It required challenging the idea of “big.” It called for
narrowing when the natural inclination was to expand. It meant
condensing powerful technologies and making chips smaller and batteries
thinner, all while making them more capable. And it meant engineering
our thinnest, most advanced Multi‑Touch display. All of which yields a
dramatically thin design.
Everything within reach.
By creating iPhone 6 and iOS 8 together, we optimized the software to
enhance the physical design. iOS swipe gestures were designed to be
more fluid across the seamless form, making it easy to navigate iPhone
with one hand. With new features like Reachability you can interact with
the larger screen in different ways, too. Simply double touch the Home
button and the entire screen shifts down closer to your thumb. And to
easily navigate Safari or Mail, swipe left to right across the screen to
go backward, or swipe right to left to go forward. With the new
continuous surface of iPhone, all your gestures now feel smoother than
ever.
We also thought about how you use your iPhone every day and
redesigned the buttons to make it even easier to use. Elongated volume
buttons are integrated into the thinner profile, outlined to make them
effortless to find by touch. And the Sleep/Wake button has a new home on
the side of the device to put it comfortably within reach. The result
is an experience that’s even more intuitive.
The elements of beautiful design.
Retina HD display
Not just a bigger display. A better display.
The size of the new, higher-resolution Retina HD
displays on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus may be the first thing you
notice. But what you experience is so much more. With innovations that
deliver higher contrast, dual‑domain pixels for more accurate color at
wider viewing angles, and an improved polarizer, these are the thinnest,
most advanced Multi‑Touch displays we’ve ever made.
Innovation on full display.
The Retina HD display is your window into everything you do on
iPhone. So it has to be great. And with full sRGB color standard, higher
contrast, and incredible brightness and white balance, it is.
Higher contrast
Rather than using traditional methods to create the
higher-resolution Retina HD display, we developed an advanced process of
photo alignment. This involves using UV light to precisely position the
display’s liquid crystals so they lie exactly where they should.
Better-aligned crystals deliver a superior viewing experience, with
deeper blacks and sharper text.
An even larger canvas. With greater flexibility.
With a larger viewing area, you’ll be able to see and do more on
the new Retina HD display. Especially with software designed to make
the most of the additional space.
Landscape view on iPhone 6 Plus
To make the most of the even larger display on iPhone 6 Plus,
many built-in apps — like Mail, Calendar, and Stocks — have been
redesigned to help you be more productive. Simply switch from portrait
to landscape to see some of your favorite apps take on a whole
new dimension.
See more of the apps you love. And do more with the apps to come.
iOS 8 was designed to allow your apps to be compatible with the
large Retina HD displays on day one. And with new technologies and tools
like Swift and Metal, developers will be able to create amazing new
apps and games that let you do things you could only imagine before.
Hugely powerful. Enormously efficient.
iPhone 6 features an A8 chip built on
second-generation 64-bit desktop-class architecture. Its incredible
power is enhanced by an M8 motion coprocessor that efficiently measures
your activity from advanced sensors, including a new barometer. So you
can do more, for longer periods of time, with better performance and
battery life.
A8 chip.
The all-new A8 chip is our fastest yet. Its CPU and graphics
performance are faster than on the A7 chip, even while powering a larger
display and incredible new features. And because it’s designed to be so
power efficient, the A8 chip can sustain higher performance — so you can
play graphics-intensive games or enjoy video at higher frame rates for
longer than ever.
Two billion transistors strong.
A8 uses an advanced 20-nanometer process. It’s a remarkably
small and efficient chip on which two billion transistors deliver
incredible performance with up to 50 percent more energy efficiency than
the A7 chip.
Great battery life. Even while powering great new features.
iPhone 6 is designed to be incredibly efficient. So you can spend
your day taking advantage of all its new features and apps while
getting better battery life.
The power behind our most powerful camera.
The iSight camera in iPhone 6 features an Apple-designed video
encoder and image signal processor built into the A8 chip. They support
advanced camera and video features, like new Focus Pixels, better face
detection, continuous autofocus, and enhanced noise reduction, so it’s
easier to shoot higher-quality photos and videos.
Metal raises the game.
To get the greatest graphics performance out of the A8 chip and
iOS 8, we introduced Metal — a new technology that lets developers
create highly immersive console-style games on iPhone. Metal is
optimized to allow the CPU and GPU to work together to deliver detailed
graphics and complex visual effects. So every imaginary world you visit
will feel much more realistic.
M8 coprocessor. Technology that moves you forward.
When you’re in motion, the M8 motion coprocessor continuously
measures data from the accelerometer, compass, gyroscope, and a new
barometer. This offloads work from the A8 chip for improved power
efficiency. And now those sensors do even more, measuring your steps,
distance, and elevation changes.
Barometer
The barometer senses air pressure to determine your relative
elevation. So as you move, you can keep track of the elevation you’ve
gained. It can even measure stairs climbed or hills conquered.
Accelerometer
The accelerometer can measure your distance for walking and
running. And by using GPS to calibrate for your running stride,
the sensor more accurately captures your movement.
Gyroscope
In addition to knowing whether you’re on the move or
stationary, M8 works with the gyroscope to detect when you’re driving.
It also kicks into action when you’re taking panoramic photos or playing
games that react to your movement.
Connectivity
Faster wireless.
A superfast connection can make you feel like the
whole world is within reach. That’s why iPhone 6 has faster LTE download
speeds.1 That’s also why it has more LTE bands than any
other smartphone. iPhone 6 supports more advanced wireless technologies
to boost performance and help you connect to the things — and people —
that matter most.
Faster LTE.
With faster LTE — up to 150 Mbps — iPhone 6 users can experience
faster download and upload speeds for browsing the web, streaming
music, making video calls, and more.
iPhone 6 also supports Voice over LTE (VoLTE) — wideband
high-quality calls that make your conversations sound as crisp and clear
as if you were face to face. And with simultaneous voice and LTE data,
you can keep browsing while you’re talking.
