The IPhone 6 Plus is good, buy to throw must be cautious

Gordon Kelly, the US technology commentator, wrote in the online edition of Forbes magazine, outlining the advantages and disadvantages of the iphone 6Plus Gordon Kelly. He believes that the IPhone 6 Plus is a leader in key smartphone functions, but it is big and easy to slide.

The following is the full text of the article:

In my opinion, the IPhone 6 Plus is a well-deserved "2014 best smartphone". Those who prefer the Galaxy Note 4, Moto G, Sony Xperia Z3compact or one plus a will certainly have their reasons, but the iphone 6Plus really makes me feel that it is expected to revive Apple's vitality and drive the development of the entire tablet phone market.

So it seems that I will not hesitate to recommend you to buy one? Don't worry!

I've been using the iphone 6 Plus and iphone 6 since it was released last September, and it's not easy to push the iphone 6Plus to the mainstream. There are a number of major issues that may undermine the impression on the person, and therefore need to be considered in the light of their actual situation.

So before you decide to buy this product, it's best to look at my analysis of the iphone 6 Plus pros and cons:

Advantages

Screen size

If you want to buy the iphone 6Plus, then screen size is obviously the most important reason. It will never disappoint you. From the data, 1920x1280 resolution seems to be out of date, the number 4 and NEXUS6, such as a variety of Android phones have been used 2k screen. But in practical terms, the IPhone 6 Plus screen is incredibly fascinating.

In use, lifelike color, excellent brightness and a wide view of the eye, make it the best screen in the market today one of the most effective smartphones. The pixel density of 401ppi is less than that of a 2k competitor, but you will never notice this nuance in use, and this data is much higher than the minimum standard (326ppi) of the retina screen set by Apple.

In my opinion, the IPhone 6Plus display fully demonstrates the fact that Apple does not overly value technical indicators. The difference between a 1080p screen and a 2k screen can only be noted in strict contrast, but the 2k screen has to make sacrifices in performance and battery life.

Performance

When Apple confirmed that the IPhone 6 Plus performance was not higher than the iPhone6, it attracted a lot of criticism. But in fact, both for developers, and for the development of these two handsets, this is very practical.

IOS 8 still has some problems with the old iphone. But in these two new models on the high efficiency, excellent performance. Although only 1GB of RAM is configured, the iphone 6 and 6Plus have a seamless fit with iOS, a good response to outside criticism.

But it's worth noting that, over time, you'll find that the lower-resolution iphone 6 (1334X750) is slightly faster than the iphone 6 Plus, and iOS and Applestore apps will require more hardware. Still, the app store won't have any impact on these two models for at least a few years.

Camera

Plus, if you want to get consistent quality photos with your smartphone, iphone 6 Plus should be your choice. The IPhone 6 and 6Plus all use the same Sony sensor, but the latter adds optical stabilization, which results in better images and smoother video than the IPhone6 Digital image-stabilization.

Yes, some rivals can match the iphone 6 Plus and sometimes even take better pictures. For example, note 4 and NEXUS6, but their shooting and photo processing speed is slow, and because the sensor size is larger, so the file size will increase almost one times.

Battery Endurance

Battery power is the most disappointing of the iphone 6, but it's the iphone 6Plus. Of course, the application of installation, background settings and other parameters make a difference between individuals, but my 2014 years of use of any one of the phone's duration can not continue to exceed the iphone 6Plus.

This is obviously related to the iOS system. The IPhone 6 Plus has a battery capacity of 2915 Ma when it is below the 3220 Ma of Note 4 and NEXUS6, but the iOS system is in standby state of the first-class execution efficiency, but makes its actual use effect far better than the competitor.

The gap is narrowing. The Projectvolta, built into the Android 5.0 lollipop system, promises to dramatically boost battery endurance, but the bad starts of the lollipop have not yet seen its best performance. Hopefully this will improve, after all, the competition for battery power can benefit everyone in 2015 years.

IOS 8 Potential

After the launch of iOS 8, Apple chose to run the core apps in different modes in the iphone 6 and 6 Plus. The IPhone 6Plus's status in horizontal screen mode is similar to that of a tablet, which makes it easier to take advantage of screen space. The iphone 6, like the traditional iphone, only supports the vertical screen mode.

The point is that developers can follow Apple's footsteps and develop new applications for the iphone 6Plus to optimize the features of the tablet. While it is late in the tablet world, the move could boost Apple's position-and until then, Android did not differentiate between the use of tablet phones and ordinary smartphones.

The advantage is finished, the following is the disadvantage.

Shortcomings

Despite all the advantages of the iphone 6 Plus, it is a very loving and hateful device, and many of its drawbacks are intolerable.

Ergonomics

Apple has always been regarded as the master of Modern industrial design, but it seems to me that the IPhone 6 Plus design is bad. The biggest problem is ergonomics. IPhone6 flat, sleek design in the feel of some poor, but due to small size, so lucky to gain recognition.

The IPhone 6 Plus is very different. Because of its size, all the flaws in the iphone 6 will be magnified. As a result, the iphone 6Plus is not only difficult to operate on a single hand, it can even be comfortably grasped with one hand.

For most users, the more appropriate option is to use mobile phone sets, but this will increase the original already very large volume of mobile phones. If you can improve the grip of the phone itself, you must give the iphone 6Plus plus a lot.

Border

Another design failure of the IPhone 6 Plus is its wide, upper and lower borders. The borders of LG G3 and Motorola NEXUS6 are very narrow, so in contrast, the IPhone 6 Plus border seems completely wasteful.

It also increases the volume of the iphone 6 Plus. You know, LG G3 and iphone 6Plus use the same 5.5-inch screen, but the fuselage is not much larger than the 4.7-inch iphone 6. Similarly, Nexus 6, although the fuselage is roughly the same size as the iphone 6Plus, uses a larger 6-inch screen and even a two-channel front stereo speaker, while Apple is still using mono speakers.

I can understand that the home key/touch ID is one of the reasons for this, but moving the home key to the screen and moving the TouchID to the back (such as the Apple logo) may solve the problem. Even with a more space-saving rectangular home key, it is a good start.

Durability

IPhone 6Plus The third place where I spit is its durability. Yes, the tablet is beautiful, its edges look good, the button quality is high, but it's doubtful whether it's strong or not.

It seems to have stirred a hornet's nest again. Still, the "crooked door" that followed the release of IPhone 6 Plus last September appears to be not groundless. I'm not talking about a video of the brain mutilation of the iphone 6Plus on YouTube, but my personal experience: after a while, my iphone 6 Plus seems to have started to bend slightly.

It doesn't seem likely to break the iphone 6Plus test I have in hand, and a phone kit can also solve the problem. But the strength of the tablet is clearly to be enhanced. I'm sure the iphone 6SPlus, released in 2015, will solve the problem.

IOS 8

It seems strange to include iOS 8 as both pros and cons. But that's the way it is. The iOS8 for the design of the tablet phone does bring great development potential to the application, and its advantage in speed and efficiency is indeed commendable. But the product appears to have no intention of improving the user experience for a tablet phone.

What annoys me most is the main screen. If you want to put icons and folders within reach, you must "squeeze" them into place with another 23 icons and folders. In addition, widgets disrupt the way icons and folders are arranged.

In addition, the core navigation options are still at the top, so putting the icons underneath the screen is more like a "premium black" than a real solution. IOS8 needs to make a big adjustment to the interface in order to provide a real convenience for the users of the tablet phone--it's obviously not enough to optimize the use of the tablet.

Price

It seems unreasonable to complain about the high price of Apple's top iphone, but I still think the price of the phone is outrageous. The best example is the 128GB iphone 6Plus. You know, it costs as much as $949, or even more than 899 dollars for the starter version of the 128GB MacBook air. In fact, the IPhone 6Plus cannot explain the rationality of the price in terms of material or components.

Apple is eligible to charge a high price, but the iphone 6 Plus is so expensive that many people need to bite their teeth before deciding to buy.

Summary

The IPhone 6Plus is a leader in key smartphone functions, including screen, performance, camera and battery endurance. It also opens the door for a new class of apps that could change the way developers view all of their tablets.

But the potential consumer does need to think more about its design. It's not just the screen size, but also the grip. Some parts of the IPhone 6Plus are too big to be redundant, and flat, smooth shapes can easily slip accidentally.

Still, with iOS evolving, the IPhone 6 Plus is ahead. If you buy the iphone 6Plus for a week without hating it, I'm sure you'll eventually fall in love with it.
