Så jorden har slået solen, når det er meget mere så godt som det er tid for mig at aflevere 2014’s valgte våben, min iPhone 6 Plus, til min meget bedre halvdel.
Jeg gentager mine kommentarer fra sidste års gennemgang og stat, at jeg aldrig kan se mig selv gå tilbage til en mindre skærmtelefon igen. Efter blot et par uger med de 6 plus føltes det bare typisk såvel som mindre skærme som 5’erne begyndte at se lidt komiske ud. Nej, det bøjede sig ikke, så godt jeg har bragt det i min bukse / denimlommer i et år nu uden en sag. Jeg har altid været en fast tro på den nøgne smartphone. Det gør mig ondt at se disse dyre førende lomme lomme vidunder med industrielle stilarter, der er slået sammen for at redde den største fraktion af en millimeter, fyldt i en række tykke vederstyggeligheder på to dollars værd af grimme plast.
Dette års design ankom som urværk i Cupertino tick-tock-cyklus, vi er kommet til at forvente. Du kan automatisk tænke på telefoner med ‘S’ moniker for at give hovedsageligt uvæsentlige opdateringer, men det er et falskt indtryk. Husk, at det var 5’erne, der introducerede Touch ID -fingeraftrykssensoren.
Bag den ‘stærkeste’ glasfront ligger en matrix på 96 sensorer, der er indlejret i baggrundsbelysten, der placerer de små ændringer i afstanden mellem glasset såvel som dem selv. Denne nye skærmteknologi indebærer 6S+ er marginalt tykkere (0,2 mm) end 6+ samt evaluerer omkring 20 gram mere. Det er også stærkere med sin 7000 -serie aluminiumskrop. Batteriet er noget mindre, men det er balance ved effektivitetsforbedringerne af A9 -processoren, hvilket indebærer Apple -citater lignende batterilevetid som sin forgænger. Batteriet på 6 Plus har været fantastisk, og ofte har fået mig hus med 80% på lysudnlyt dage såvel som at klare sig hurtigt med dage som dette …
Det er tidlige dage, men jeg har ikke set noget for at få mig til at tro, at batteriets levetid på 6S+ vil være enhver form for forskellige end 6+.
Kameraet
Det bageste ansigt Issight -kamera får en opgradering fra en 8 til en 12 megapixelsensor – den allerførste MP -opgradering, fordi iPhone 4 i 2011.
Eksempel på fotos: Ny 6s plus venstre – 6 plus bedst (klik for fuld størrelse)
Der er ingen tvivl om, at iPhone er mit mange udnyttede videokamera, så dette er en velkommen bump i specifikationer. Selvom disse tal ikke er hele historien i videokamera -kvaliteten, er der fordele ved at have yderligere pixels, især ved at være i stand til at beskære, mens man opretholder kvaliteten. Efter en hurtig udflugt i weekenden med 6S+ såvel som 6+ (tjek billederne ovenfor såvel som det zoomede afsnit nedenfor) er der faktisk meget bit forskel i de to – 6 plus havde allerede et fantastisk videokamera også Som opgraderingen virker marginal her.
Zoomet: 6s top – 6 bund mindre artefakterende runde blade. Chimney Pot kaster skarpere skygge på tårn
Plus -designet forbliver stadig det eneste med optisk billedstabilisering for både stillbilleder såvel som video (se denne sammenligningsvideo mellem OIS på 6S Plus vs the 6 Plus). Denne video er 4K nu, så du kræver masser af areal, da filerne er omkring 3 gange størrelsen på deres 1080p -fætre. Det bringer mig til den uheldige kendsgerning, at dette ‘premium’ produkt stadig åbner med et 16 GB -design snarere end en 32. For Globes rigeste selskab, der bringer størstedelen af verdens smartphone -overskud, kan Apple stadig være overraskende billig.
På en side-note gør de nye iPhones 4K-kapaciteter det endnu meget mere uventet, at det nye Apple TV ikke ser ud til at understøtte det. Det er taget så lang tid for Apple at bringe den nye streamer på markedet, jeg kan ikke forstå, hvorfor ikke. Amazons nye terminat -tv -boks understøtter 4K Ultra HD ved lanceringen.
Det forreste ‘FaceTime HD’ videokamera har en meget meget mere betydelig opgradering – nu en 5 megapixel -affære (op fra en ret grim 1,2MP) samt bruger skærmbagsekraften som en flash. Det er noget, jeg sjældent bruger dog, så ingen ægte fordel for mig, selvom Selfie Stick Brigade uden tvivl vil være glad.
As always there’s some fluff right here too. ‘Live Photos’ is a new function that develops in the 1.5 seconds before as well as after your snap into an animated jpeg /mov data with 45 frames. They are only viewable (un-converted) on an Apple gadget as well as take up around double the area of a typical photo. Meh.
Chips!
The new A9 chip brings a CPU performance boost of as much as 70% plus as much as 90% enhancement in graphics over last years models. The M9 motion coprocessor is now integrated directly into the A9 for much better effectiveness as well as Siri is now always on and can be summoned hands totally free with a ‘Hey Siri’. Tin-foil-hatters can switch this function off, although Apple state your data is anonymised before leaving the phone.
With a 64-bit CPU appearing like it might be a demand for some apps in the not-to-distant future (it’s already a demand for the Safari ad blocker in iOS9), Apple have made the 5s their lowest design still on sale (if you’re purchasing a new iphone this year don’t think about anything other than a 5s or above).
Perhaps one of the most essential of all the ‘s’ upgrades though is the doubling of RAM to 2GB. This seems method overdue with numerous contending Android phones sporting 4GB by now. It’s frequently quoted that Apple’s reason for keeping the RAM tight is its impact on battery life, however perhaps it’s truly just one more method to save a few dollars on the millions of units they sell. Either way this is an essential update which has genuine world benefits as well as ought to keep the 6s appropriate for a great few years as well as iOS updates.
The combination of that RAM as well as the screaming A9 implies this phone feels extremely fast. Benchmarks show the speed boost between the 6 as well as the 6s is much higher than the 5s to the 6 as well as it’s performance is roughly on a power with the new 12″ MacBook!
The new 2nd gen Touch ID sensor is lightning quick too, to the point that it’s hard to click the house button without unlocking the phone now (you’ll requirement to utilize the power button if you just want to see the time now).
Apple now insurance claim the most LTE bands of any type of present phone (23 bands with speeds of up to 300 Mbps on 4G LTE Advanced) making it most likely the very best phone for anybody travelling internationally. There are likewise enhancements in WiFi too, now ‘up to’ 866 Mbps.
3D Touch
On the hardware side the stand apart function of the latest generation of iPhones, from a advertising point of view if nothing else, is that 3D Touch.
RELATED: Apple view evaluation After a Wearable Weekend
This is an development of the ‘Force Touch’ tech introduced in the Apple Watch. The 3D alludes to the fact there are different levels right here rather than the binary sensor on the Watch.
Quick Actions
One application of 3D Touch is as the equivalent to a right-click on the desktop, a method to gain access to context sensitive menus. So you can press the video camera icon for example as well as then slide down the resulting menu to select to jump directly to state recording a video. Or in Messages you can press as well as slide to access your VIP contacts. This isn’t always ideal though, depending upon the setting of your icon, your thumb in some cases obscures the pop-up menu, needing you to lift it off to checked out then press, rather than sliding.
Peek & Pop
Peek as well as Pop is a much more advanced notion. A light press on the screen in your email app for example lets you ‘Peek’ to preview its contents (see the animation below).

Let go as well as you’re back at the message listing where you started. however if you like the look of your preview as well as want to go all the method into that message then pressing a bit deeper will ‘Pop’ that message as much as full screen. You can utilize Peek in many listing views as well as likewise in the calendar app to rapidly look into a day.
Each Peek as well as Pop is verified with a different duration of haptic feedback from the new ‘Taptic Engine’, hardware once again introduced on the Apple Watch. That exact same hardware offers the vibrations for phone calls on silent as well as it’s much much more of a feeling than a noise compared to the old phones.
3D Touch has made its way into many other areas of the iphone UI. pressing on the keyboard within apps like Notes, Mail, as well as Messages will turn that area of the screen into a small trackpad which you can utilize to move the cursor much more precisely.
You can also press the left side of the house screen to switch to multitasking view so you can swipe to find your app. Along with iOS9’s new BACK TO app feature, it’s remove the double click of the house button to gain access to task switcher is going to be utilized less as well as less.
It’ll take a while for 3rd celebration apps to support 3D Touch however some are there already (try Twitter or Instagram for example). It’s going to be fascinating to see how game designers utilize the tech as well as will wise house apps begin to take advantage of it as well (press harder to dim faster?).
Dom
A couple of things sprung to mind when viewing the 3D Touch demo at the Apple event earlier this month.
1. Couldn’t a great deal of this just have been finished with a long-press?
The short response is most likely yes, however the longer response perhaps not quite. quick actions might certainly be duplicated with a long press. as well as you might also long press to peek complied with by state a swipe up to pop. But long press implies waiting and no matter exactly how short that’s most likely unacceptable to Apple. It would likewise be a pale imitation of the genuine thing. long presses are currently utilized for copy paste, defining a word, re-arranging springboard icons etc etc as well as these would all have to be changed, together with the resultingdesorientering for brugere.
2. Er dette begyndelsen af et skift mellem iPhones med husknapper såvel som fremtidige uden?
Hvis 3D -berøringsbevægelser kan erstatte kravet til denne mekaniske switch på fronten, er der nogen form for anden grund til at holde husets knap? En meget mere hindring, fingeraftrykssensoren, der bor der, ville også være nødt til at flytte til skærmen. Heldigvis har Apple et patent på det, der står ved.
Som jeg diskuterede i sidste års anmeldelse, har iPhone en stor hage til at holde den hjemmeknap såvel som lovgivningen i Apple Style såvel som symmetri, der dikterer den matchende pande i den anden ende gør den større, end den skal være. Fjernelse af husknappen reducerer størrelsen på fremtidige iPhones væsentligt uden at påvirke skærmstørrelsen.
Den nye iPhone 6s Plus ser såvel som føles ligesom sidste års model, men der er betydelige forbedringer i næsten ethvert element i det såvel som ud. Det tager et stykke tid for min muskelmassehukommelse at omskolere sig selv at bruge de nye metoder til 3D -berøring, så godt som det forbliver at se, hvad verden vil gøre af den. Måske får magtindivider det, og masserne ignorerer? Apple er forpligtet til at bringe det til iPad i fremtiden, men vil de år, der er brugt på at udvikle denne innovation, gå metoden til Apple Hifi, eller vil det være den næste must-have ting, der skal kopieres af disse andre telefonproducenter. Vi opdager ud efter endnu en månemål eller to.
