As many of you already know, this morning we got up very early in Applelised and we have moved to the Nueva Condomina Apple Store in Murcia to feel together with the rest of the followers of the apple brand the launch of the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The occasion has been a success, since this store was opened, which mainly serves the provinces of Murcia, Alicante, Albacete and Almería due to its strategic location, never before have so many people been waiting, which is a good indicator that the new flagship of those from Cupertino will also be a record in our country. But we are going to what we are going.
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus: similar but different
We are not going to repeat ourselves with technical specifications and aspects that we all already know, we have already talked about that, and we will still talk, in Applelised. Today we talk exclusively about impressions because definitely, and this time more than ever, it is necessary to have both devices in hand, not only to assess them individually, but also to opt for one or the other, unless you have it totally clear from the beginning as was my case.
iPhone 6
El iPhone 6 (the 4,7-inch one) has, and this is a totally personal opinion, the perfect size that many, including myself, have been demanding for a long time. It is light but at the same time robust, neither too big nor small.
Regarding whether it can be used with one hand or not ... Well, if you have a small hand, definitely NO, but if you have a normal to large hand, yes. In short, what was previously common to all is now only available to some, unless you use the option to lower the screen (double tap, without pressing, on the Home button).
When today I had both devices in my hands I realized that the 6 iPhone Plus It is not as big as it may seem although, for my taste, it is not the ideal size.
6 iPhone Plus
Again we find a device that, perhaps because it is larger, is even lighter than the previous one (although, obviously, it is not). Big, light and also solid, believe me when I tell you that it does not bend as easily as we have been mistakenly led to believe.
Regarding design, both are a success of that union of artistic beauty and technology that the disappeared Jobs always knew how to see (although he did not like large screens), with that screen that seems to melt with the metal of the housing and those curved, smooth and sinuous lines that make it much more attractive.
Furthermore, both the iPhone 6 such as 6 iPhone Plus They are much more comfortable in the hand than their predecessors precisely because of the absence of angles that characterized all iPhone models from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5S (with the sole exception of the iPhone 5C).
Can the iPhone 6 Plus replace my iPad?
No, but yes. I explain. The 6 iPhone Plus not big enough to perform intensive tasks beyond checking mail or taking a look at what has been posted on Applelised. That is, if you use your iPad more or less occasionally and basically for consultations, maybe now you start to use your iPad less. But if the use you give to your iPad is to create and / or edit texts, take notes in class, edit pdf's, read books and other similar tasks, the 6 iPhone Plus It is not going to replace your iPad, it is a mere question of convenience.
So which one do I buy? IPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus?
With the arrival of the new smartphones from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), A new stage has been inaugurated for the users of the block, the stage of decisions and nuances. Now you no longer just choose the color or the capacity, now you choose the iPhone that best meets your needs, the one that "suits you best."
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
El 6 iPhone Plus It has some better features such as a larger battery, an optical stabilizer or a higher screen resolution, but for the ordinary user, who is the vast majority, and realistically, the decision revolves around size. If you have always wanted a large phone, you will choose the Plus, if you are one of those who think of a fair and necessary size, you may choose the iPhone 6. Now, to affirm that both devices are equally comfortable to handle with one hand, as some voices have affirmed in other media, is, and forgive me those who affirm it, a sovereign stupidity, by logic.
In short, the choice depends on your taste, so choose the one you like the most, the one you feel most comfortable with for the use that you give it, and enjoy it because you choose the one you choose, you will have an impressive iPhone .
I opted for the Iphone 6 Plus. Right out of the box I started to regret it. I put it in my pocket after a good test and it was like putting in the toaster. I was falling off, I couldn't WORK with it comfortably, it wasn't as productive as my 5s. I was impressed by the mind-blowing quality but I couldn't spend two years with that hulk in my hands and pockets. I was also ashamed to take it out on the train ... Today I changed it for the 6GB Iphone 128 and I do not regret it at all. Fast, great size, photos and texts seem to stick out of the screen. A joy. Perhaps the plus is better to be in the bed or in the soca or quiet on a terrace reading and browsing, but to message, live the daily rhythm, call and talk without "attracting attention" with a huge brickwork, which made me feel ridiculous, answering emails on the fly, taking unexpected and stolen photos, and everything else the little one is perfect. Gentlemen… they are 4,7 inches! almost 5 !!!! The 5s left me with that bitter taste that the 6 certainly satiates me. Bravo for the decision! Perhaps, as a final thought, the Iphone 6s is a hybrid of the two, at the expense of future user experiences, a 5-inch hybrid with the best of both worlds, stabilizer, landscape mode etc ... wrong? 🙂
