iPhone 6 dimensions. Comparison of overall dimensions, screen sizes and diagonals of all iPhones of different models in centimeters. What is the largest iPhone in centimeters? Information about other important connection technologies supported by devices

Apple set many trends, but for some reason did not (or could not) set the fashion for large smartphone screens. Others did it for her, proving that users are not even against large diagonals. Be that as it may, this year the Cupertino team delighted the public with two models at once: the iPhone 6 with a 4.7-inch panel and the iPhone 6 Plus with a 5.5-inch diagonal. In my opinion, a truly fresh and vibrant user experience can only be achieved with the big iPhone 6 Plus.

Honestly, I've been waiting for a phablet from Apple for a very long time. Of the “iPhones”, I had the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and starting with the iPhone 5, I realized that 3.5-4 ”is sorely lacking for me, after which, almost without regret, I switched to Android, where large screens have already become the norm. In this review, I will share my general impressions of the iPhone 6 Plus and tell you something about my personal experience of switching from Android (and I have had almost all the flagships of recent years with this OS) to iOS 8.

Video review

Design and equipment

The box of the iPhone 6 Plus is the same as that of the iPhone 6 (pictured). On the top there is an image of the device extruded to scale, on the sides there is an apple and a name without specifying a specific version. The reverse side lists some features, equipment, memory capacity, color, model and other information. Inside is a needle to open the nano-SIM tray, a few pieces of paper, a couple of stickers in the form of the Apple logo, a Lightning cable, a charger (1A), and EarPods. Three colors - dark gray, silver, golden.

Apple fans love it when the new generation is strikingly different from the old. So if you have an iPhone 6, and especially an iPhone 6 Plus, then everyone who is more or less versed in smartphones will notice this. By the way, I somehow walked simultaneously with the iPhone 6 Plus and Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which by that time had not yet gone on official sale. Guess which device they didn’t show any interest at all (even after the phrase “and this is a cool new laptop 4 with metal, it hasn’t come out yet”), and which one was and remains in the center of attention of others?

Above the screen is a 1.2-megapixel iSight front camera, a speaker, sensors, and a round hardware key with a Touch ID fingerprint scanner and a sapphire coating is fitted below the screen. On the left is the mute switch, volume keys, on the right is the power button and the SIM card slot (nano format). There is nothing at the top, and at the bottom there is a Lightning connector, a microphone, an audio jack and eight holes for a loud and juicy speaker. At the back is an 8-megapixel camera, which is accompanied by an additional microphone and a dual True Tone flash.

In a nutshell, I really like the design of the iPhone 6/6 Plus. You can complain about not the smallest height and highly placed buttons on the sides, but the workmanship, materials, thickness and rounded shape nullify all negative thoughts. The stripes on the back do not cause me uncontrollable attacks of hating - they look neat and even to some extent stylish (a solid metal cover would look boring, and the antennas need to be output somewhere).

The protruding camera may not look very neat, but in reality it does not bother you at all: the eye is not scratched (thanks to the sapphire glass), on the surface the phone practically does not stagger and does not jump when you press the screen. In addition, you will almost certainly use some kind of case or case, and with them the camera will be inside. But the main thing is the result. This “bulging camera” shoots very, very soundly. And if Apple engineers were able to drown the entire module in a 7.1 mm case, retaining all its capabilities, then they would have done it. So I propose to enjoy the photos and videos obtained with it, and not get hung up.

The display of the iPhone 6 Plus is excellent even without the newfangled 2K. On a 5.5” diagonal with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, the pixel density is 401 ppi, and you will have to try hard to convince yourself that this value is not enough for comfortable use. The declared characteristics of the IPS panel are as follows: contrast - 1300: 1, brightness - up to 500 cd / m2. The full sRGB color sensor uses dual-domain pixels, according to the datasheet, to ensure accurate color reproduction at a wider viewing angle. And, indeed, the iPhone 6 Plus has high-quality color reproduction (blacks are quite deep, whites are naturally white), and viewing angles are maximum with a slight inversion.

With the increase in the screen, the company has optimized the software component. Firstly, there is not only a standard content display mode (it fits a little more information), but also an enlarged one, in which interface elements become larger (font, icons, indents). Secondly, with a standard display, the iPhone 6 Plus can have a horizontal mode when rotated - it works on tables and in a number of built-in applications (mail, calendar, promotions, reminders, notes, and so on). Thirdly, for the convenience of one-handed operation, you can lower all content to the middle of the screen. That is, if you need to reach for some virtual key at the top of the display, then tap twice on the Home button and perform the action. I can’t say that this implementation of “one-handedness” is very comfortable in everyday life, but some people use it. I believe that if a person buys a phablet, then he must be mentally prepared for the fact that in many tasks he will have to use the gadget with two hands. Even the 5.5” LG G3, for all its compactness, often requires a second hand.

Separately, I will highlight the fingerprint scanner. The fact that different companies build it is good, but it's bad when the implementation leaves much to be desired. Fortunately, Apple did everything right the first time - the Touch ID sensor, which first debuted in the iPhone 5S, turned out to be very convenient and appropriate - it does not take up extra space, as it is integrated into the button, it works the first time with a light touch. And if Samsung devices do not want to use the scanner in everyday life due to the frequent ignoring of commands and the inconvenient unlocking process (you need to swipe the screen and the button), then the iPhone 6 Plus does not want to turn it off. The scanner is designed primarily for security, but for me it simplifies the process of buying and downloading content from the App Store (without a scanner, you need to constantly enter a password, and that’s all). Also, with the Touch ID scanner, unlocking the smartphone is simplified - just press the Home button and at the same time the fingerprint is read. There is no need to do any additional manipulations, you do not need to wait for the reading either. I pressed it and that's it - it's that simple. If we consider Android, then in its camp Meizu MX4 Pro with an mTouch scanner has crept close to Touch ID - also under the screen and also responds to a simple touch from any angle.

Software

Even when I gave up my iPhone with the 4S, I didn't stop interacting with the iOS ecosystem thanks to iPads. However, the smartphone experience is still different from the tablet, as the usage scenarios are different, so the iPhone 6 Plus was something really fresh for me. At the same time, the transition from Android to iOS 8 went smoothly, as the operating systems in the process of their development became noticeably closer. And the Android camp is borrowing ideas from Apple, and Apple is spying on competitors from the neighboring camp. There is nothing wrong with coups being implemented by someone else - users benefit from this. We have an overview of the final version of iOS 8 in a separate article, so I won’t go into the nuances, but I’ll highlight interesting points.

The lock screen displays the date, time, allows you to lower the top and bottom curtains, launch the camera. With an active music player, the locker is completely transformed: the cover, artist, song and album names, volume and scroll sliders, track control keys are displayed on the screen.

The top curtain (“Notification Center”) in iOS 8 has two tabs: “Today” and “Notifications”. With the second everything is clear, but the first deserves clarification. In fact, "Today" contains widgets. The developers did not dare to put them on the tables, but it’s not bad either. There are widgets (that is, mini-applications) from Apple, and there are third-party developers - they are in the App Store. I advise you to download "Weather Live: Restart", iMonitor with information about the amount of memory, connection speed and processor load, as well as Wdgts, in which I liked the photo frame and calendar. Of course, it’s not worth putting a bunch of everything, but I personally left a few widgets and use them regularly.

The bottom curtain (“Control Center”) is one of the most significant innovations in iOS over the past few years. It contains shortcut keys for wireless functions, a brightness slider, music control keys, the AirDrop sharing function, as well as flashlight, timer, calculator and camera keys. Surprisingly, only Vivo decided to copy such a convenient thing (a curtain that slides out from below) of the brands I know (read the review of Vivo Xshot). By double-clicking the Home button, tiles of recently opened programs appear with a visual display of the latest event. Above them are recent contacts (surprisingly, in all the time I have never called contacts from there).

Multitasking in iOS, by the way, is implemented very interestingly. Contrary to misconceptions, programs can and do run in the background. To put it simply, iOS apps are divided by type (music players that play music in the background, social networks that receive regular notifications (this can be configured by the user), heavy toys, etc.) and can also function in several modes: real multitasking, working in the background (up to 10 minutes), and in pause / deep sleep mode (the game will still open in the minimized place even after a week). However, the lack of RAM is still felt. Like it or not, but 1 GB in a powerful phablet, even with the vaunted iOS optimization, is not enough - and the tabs in the browser are reloaded, and applications are often restarted (VKontakte often sins with this).

There are a lot of options available for customization. If you have had an iPhone, then you already know this. If not, then I suggest looking at the key settings in the screenshots.

Support for third-party keyboards has become an important innovation in iOS. If you're planning on migrating from Android and are used to swipe gestures (like me), then you'll definitely love this new feature. There are already quite a few keyboards in the App Store, but I advise you to pay attention to TouchPal and Swype (both have Russian language and their own interesting features). I note that the password-login bundle is entered only through the stock keyboard - in the name of security. I will also say that some applications may have problems. For example, VKontakte cannot add an attachment for a wall post, so you have to switch to stock. Not very convenient, but not fatal, and over time it will all pass with updates. But what is really surprising is the inability to leave a comment on the program in the App Store through a third-party keyboard - the text is simply not visible.

Making free internet calls to another iOS user via Facetime turned out to be very satisfying. Not only is it “a freebie, sir,” but the voice quality is also amazing (as if the interlocutor is standing somewhere nearby, there is no boom and distortion). Free texting via iMessage also only works in the Apple ecosystem, but you'll probably have a few iPhone friends. It's not a standalone app - it's integrated into Messages, where SMS. The service itself will determine whether your interlocutor is an iOS user, so no extra actions will be required.

Find My iPhone helps you find your lost or stolen device. If it is impossible to return it in the first hours, then all data must be deleted remotely, and then turn on the lost mode. In this case, the iPhone is blocked and the contact information is displayed to contact the true owner. At the same time, the device requires activation, that is, it is impossible to use it until you enter your Apple ID. There is no way to bypass this protection, the company's technical support will not help. Therefore, the new owners will either contact you for a refund, or they will just have to throw out the piece of iron. In this regard, it is recommended to be careful when buying phones from your hands - there are frequent cases of Apple ID fraud, when the buyer is extorted money for a password, or they simply sell a stolen “brick”.

The popularity of various fitness trackers and bracelets is growing. In iOS, all data is collected in Health. Without additional accessories, thanks to the M8 motion coprocessor, the smartphone can track distance (walking, running, cycling), counting steps, calories.

The App Store is a real storehouse of high-quality and necessary software. Probably, it is not necessary to say once again that the priority platform for developers is still iOS. It has more apps for kids, creative software, art programs, and games. Moreover, games often come out on iOS much earlier, and sometimes even remain exclusives. Especially for new iPhone users, the store has several sections that are recommended to visit first. These are "App Store for Beginners" and "Apps for iOS 8". In general, the App Store is very well monitored, collections are regularly updated, and really high-quality content is displayed on the main page (and the hand of the Russian team is felt). All this makes you open the catalog again and again, follow the reviews and download, download, download ...

The music player is beautiful, fast and convenient. The sound thanks to the Cirrus Logic 338S1201 DAC is excellent - clear, with a noticeable volume margin and sufficient bass. The standard player, however, has limited format support and cannot play popular lossless files in FLAC. If you have a large collection of FLAC, then you will have to spend some time transcoding to ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec). Although MP3 320 sounds good on the iPhone 6 Plus. Adding files is done through iTunes. Not everyone will be able to understand the program right away, but when you understand the principle of work, you will appreciate the resulting order of the music library, the correct tags, correct covers and images of performers.

Photos are distributed over several time periods (years, months, days) and albums. Pictures can be shared, copied, printed, and more. Of course, they can be edited. And the iOS editor is one of the most convenient! In the upper right corner is a magic wand that sets the automatic parameters in the best way. The toolkit includes rotate, crop, filters, and three controls for light, color, and black and white. You can change them directly, or you can expand the items and do fine-tuning. After the changes, the final version of the image is shown in the gallery, but the original is saved and you can roll back the changes by pressing the "revert" button.

The 64GB and 128GB versions of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus come preinstalled with useful iWork and iLife packages. They include document, spreadsheet, and presentation apps (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote) as well as music, video, and curriculum apps (GarageBand, iMovie, and iTunes U). I’ll mention other built-in software in one line: a video player, a functional Safari browser, stocks, maps, podcasts, a compass, a voice recorder, a calculator, weather, iBooks books, magazines, music and video stores, Kiosk and the iTunes Store. By the way, returning to the issue of openness / closeness of the platform: I can download a doc-file from the VKontakte program, edit it right there in Pages and send it by mail through a third-party mail client Yandex.Mail. I was assured that this is impossible on iOS, and now imagine the reaction of the person who made sure of the opposite - this is how we destroy myths with an individual approach.

And finally, I note the presence of a black list. You can prevent certain contacts from sound alerts, or you can completely block the caller. It is a pity that not all smartphones of large companies have such functionality out of the box.

Camera

The iPhone 6 Plus uses an 8MP camera with a 1/3”, 1.5µm sensor, f/2.2 aperture, 5-lens optics and optical image stabilization. The lens is covered with sapphire glass. The new generation of iPhone features Focus Pixels and improved face detection. The camera interface is convenient and fast. On the left side, switching to the front camera, timer (3 and 10 seconds), HDR (auto, on, off), flash. On the right is an item with 8 filters and a list of 6 modes: panorama, square (1x1), photo, video, slow and interval. When you touch the screen, the focus area appears and you can smoothly adjust the exposure by swiping on the sun icon. Focus Pixels technology is based on Apple's new Image Signal Processor. With it, the sensor receives more information about the picture, autofocus works much more efficiently. As a result, the camera is instantly aimed at the subject - faster than I have seen anywhere else. At the same time, the focus is rebuilt very naturally and it can be difficult to notice the process itself. The optical stabilization in the iPhone 6 Plus uses the A8 processor, the M8 motion co-processor and the gyroscope. Together, they collect and analyze information about movement and conditions, and then set the parameters for the lens so that hand shake is compensated as much as possible. As a result, getting a blurry frame on the iPhone 6 Plus is almost impossible not only during the day, but also at night.

Panoramas can have a maximum resolution of 43 MP. When shooting large photos, dynamic autoexposure works to ensure optimal lighting across the entire canvas. The front camera, despite its 1.2 megapixels, produces better results than competitors with higher resolution.

iPhone 6- one of the most long-awaited new products from Apple. Despite the fact that the smartphone appeared recently, it has already managed to acquire legends and myths. What are these stories? What is unique about this smartphone? Who is trying to compete with him?

What's inside?

Even the most inveterate "Yabloko" iPhone 6 will surprise not only with its size (this is the largest smartphone), but also with “delicious stuffing”, worthy design. The smooth surface of the gadget, made of high-quality metal, smoothly transitions into the glass of the newly-made HD Retina display. The smartphone is executed in an elegant thin body with rounded corners. The display diagonal is 4.7 inches. Apple has created a smartphone from which it is impossible to take your eyes off. The manufacturer offers three color options: gray, silver, golden space.

The gadget is equipped with a powerful A8 processor with 64-bit architecture. It operates on the latest OS - iOS 8. The battery provides the smartphone with up to 250 hours of standby time and up to 14 hours of talk time. There is an additional camera of 1.2 megapixels. The main camera has 8 megapixels. You can shoot videos in 720p HD format. iPhone 6 Supports SIM cards Nano-SIM format. Versions with built-in memory of 128, 64 and 16 GB are offered.

Myths about the iPhone 6 appeared long before the iPhone 6 smartphone was presented for sale. Here are the myths:

1. Battery with increased capacity. The manufacturer considered that using such a battery is simply irrational.
2. Screen with sapphire glass. The production of such glass requires hundreds of times more energy. In addition, this process is harmful to the environment.
3. Curved body. The creators did not even consider this concept.

None of the aforementioned myths ever came true.

And with whom does it compete?

The closest competitor to the iPhone 6 is the Samsung Galaxy S5. Many "parameters" of these smartphones "argue among themselves." "Apple", for example, allows you to get better photos. The "apple" smartphone also competes with the HTC One M8. Here the competition is connected mainly by the price factor. Among other competitors, the iPhone 6 is called

Apple unveiled the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus at an event in San Francisco. New items look the same as their predecessors last year (except for a new, fourth color "rose gold"), but at the same time they are made of different materials and have received a number of new features.

Stronger and heavier

Let's start with appearance. As expected, the design of the devices remained exactly the same as last year's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. Neither the screen size (4.7 inches for the younger model and 5.5 inches for the older model), nor its resolution (1334 by 750 and 1920 by 1080, respectively) have changed. The dimensions have increased, however, by fractions of a millimeter - the iPhone 6s is 0.1 mm wider than its predecessor, 0.2 mm longer and 0.2 mm thicker. But the weight (because of the new hardware, about which - below) has increased significantly: from 129 to 143 grams for the iPhone 6s and from 172 to 192 grams for the iPhone 6s Plus.

At the same time, Apple has changed the materials from which its smartphones are made. A new "7000 series" aluminum alloy with zinc and magnesium has been used, making the case 60% stronger. The glass that protects the display is also stronger than before, thanks to the double ionization process, and is now "stronger than any other smartphone glass," according to Apple.

For those who find the dark grey, silver and gold versions of the iPhone not glamorous enough, Apple has come up with a fourth option - rose gold. The panel around the screen is white, but the metal has a copper-pink tint.

new dimension

The main innovation of the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, implemented in hardware and in the new iOS 9, was the 3D Touch system. It allows the device, using special capacitive sensors, to distinguish between the degree of force applied to the screen, and programs to respond to different clicks, making the use of the gadget more natural and intuitive.

For example, touching and lightly tapping one of the emails in your inbox will display a preview of the text. If you release your finger, the text you are viewing will “curl” back into the header of the letter, if you press harder, the letter will open in full screen. In addition, a forceful swipe from the edge of the screen allows you to switch between applications with one touch.

The system capabilities available to application developers were shown during the presentation using the new version of Instagram as an example. By force-clicking on an application icon on the home screen, you can call up a context menu that allows you to immediately jump to the desired section within the application. When viewing a grid of photo thumbnails, tapping lightly allows you to quickly view an enlarged photo or video. Similarly, the technology works in other programs:

3D Touch technology is complemented by a new system of tactile feedback. iPhone 6s reacts to each gesture not only by performing the corresponding actions on the screen, but also by a response from the special Taptic Engine vibration motor. The reaction force corresponds to the force of pressing the display, so the user knows exactly what he is doing and intuitively understands what the result will be.

More powerful and "big-eyed"

The smartphone is powered by an integrated 64-bit A9 processor, which is claimed to have 70% faster computing performance and 90% faster graphics performance compared to the A8 chip used in iPhone 6. Apple claims that the performance of the new system-on-a-chip is comparable to many processors installed in modern PCs. The chip has an integrated M9 coprocessor responsible for motion monitoring.

The new iPhones received a camera with an increased resolution (12 megapixels, while the pixel size decreased from 1.5 to 1.22 nm), which, thanks to a number of innovations, provides significantly higher image quality. The smartphone can now even shoot video in 4K resolution, however, to see it in all its glory, you will need to buy a modern 4K TV.

A new feature will be available on iPhone 6s and 6s Plus - Live Photos. When it is activated, the user takes a picture as usual, but the smartphone saves not only a photo, but also a short video with sound, including a few seconds before and after pressing the shutter button. When viewing, pressing with force on the photo starts the playback of a mini-roll, makes the picture come to life.

Selfie lovers are not forgotten either - the front camera of the new generation iPhone is 5-megapixel, and the backlight of the screen is used as a flash, lighting up for a moment in white with the maximum possible brightness.

The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus will go on sale September 25 in the United States and several other countries, and will be available in 130 countries before the New Year. The prices of the new iPhones have remained the same - from $200 with a two-year carrier contract for a 16 GB model, while last year's iPhone 6 has fallen in price by $ 100 and lost the most capacious, 128 GB versions. Of the older models, the compact iPhone 5s with a 4-inch screen was also kept on sale. It will be available in the US free of charge when concluding a contract with a cellular operator.

The screen on the iPhone 6s offered users a new approach to managing smartphones. Thanks to the development of the 3D Touch sensor, not only the place but also the pressure on the sensor now matters. This approach was previously used only in tablets for professional designers. And even then, the sensor was installed in the stylus, and not in the display module.

How to replace the iPhone 6s screen - options and prices

It is not easy to bring Apple spare parts to the Russian market from abroad, but, nevertheless, the flow of goods is dense. This gives rise not to healthy competition and freedom of choice, but to confusion and the opportunity to purchase low-quality "handicraft" parts at the original price.

Unfortunately, Moscow service centers do not disdain deceit either. Under the guise of a new one, they can sell you a refurbished screen. That is, a display module with an old matrix and a new front glass. This is pure deception and is used for the latest generations of Apple smartphones, regardless of whether the iPhone 7 or the fifth model.

By purchasing new screens from service centers with experience and reputation, you protect yourself from fraud, loss of money and device performance. There are three options for replacing the iPhone 6s screen:

  • original display module. The same capacitive TFT IPS with multi-touch that is installed when assembling new phones. After replacing the broken screen with the original one, the device has all the characteristics declared by the manufacturer. The only disadvantage of this option is the high cost.
  • Analog screen for iPhone 6s. It performs all the functions assigned to it, is assembled at the factory, and repeatedly tested for quality. The difference from the original in the absence of high-tech "chips" of Apple. However, this does not affect the operation of the screen and not everyone will notice the difference. Analog is a good way to save money during repairs.
  • iPhone 6s front glass replacement. If the LCD matrix and sensor remain intact, VseEkrany.ru specialists will re-paste the broken glass. You will receive a refurbished phone, the repair cost in this case is the lowest. We do not issue remanufactured modules as new ones, but tell the client the truth.

Will be after repair - to choose the owner. But keep in mind that replacing a display module is a complex technological process, and one careless press (even with a finger) will lead to cracks in the IC chip, broken cables or matrix. Entrust repairs only to experienced and qualified craftsmen.

VseEkrany.ru specialists will consult you free of charge on all issues related to the repair and operation of Apple equipment. Smashed your smartphone to smithereens or forgot - we will help. Call the indicated numbers or use the online form on the website.

The first item when buying a phone is just the screen size and how many inches it is. Today we will talk about the screen size of iPhones, because this question is of interest to many.

In fact, there is a lot of information about this, and since the iPhone is just a standard among phones, I will be very brief and try to show only the main ones.

What is the iPhone screen size?

Apple has long held its position with small screens, but the smartphone market still forced them to change their mindset and now you know how much the largest screen is on the iPhone. And if not, then the following list is made for you.

In it, I will talk not only about its size, but also mention its main characteristics.

First generation iPhone screen, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S

For five generations we have used phones with such small screens. At that time, and this is the period from 2007 to 2011, this size was acceptable and it was enough for all modern tasks.

But if you look through the eyes of 2006, these are very small smartphones and you don’t really want to pick them up. There is little content on the screen, and playing games is generally inconvenient.

  • 2G:
  • 3G: 3.5 inches, LCD TFT, resolution 320×480, 163 ppi;
  • 3GS: 3.5 inches, LCD TFT, resolution 320×480, 163 ppi;
  • 4: 3.5 inches, LCD TFT, resolution 640×960, 326 ppi;
  • 4S: 3.5 inches, Retina, resolution 640×960, 326 ppi.

All these phones have become a very significant part in the development of touch smartphones. It was thanks to them that the race for inches and ppi began.

iPhone 5, 5S, 5C, SE screen sizes

The relevance of the size of these particular phones remains to this day. Here you can find a compromise between ease of use and compactness.


If you are the owner of a not too big hand and you do not like when the phone sticks out of your pocket, then you should have one of these smartphones.

  • 5:
  • 5S: 4 inches, resolution 640 × 1136, IPS Retina display, 326 ppi;
  • 5C: 4 inches, resolution 640 × 1136, IPS Retina + display, 326 ppi;
  • SE: 4 inches, resolution 640 × 1136, IPS Retina + display, 326 ppi.

The quality of such screens is very amazing and has been proven by many users over the years. I think everyone has a friend who prefers this particular screen size.

iPhone 6, 6S, 6 PLUS, 6S PLUS sizes

Starting with the number six, the race for inches began in earnest. Now the Yabloko could boast that they did not have a miniature iPhone, but a real shovel.


Although, the further the development of smartphones goes, the more the term "shovel" loses its relevance. You will not surprise anyone with your 5-inch phone.

  • 6:
  • 6PLUS: 5.5 inches, 1920×1080 resolution, Retina HD, 401 ppi;
  • 6S: 4.7 inches, 750×1334 resolution, Retina HD, 326 ppi;
  • 6S Plus:

The screen size has grown significantly and now the iPhone is not miniature at all. You are holding a full-fledged smartphone with a very large diagonal in your hands.

In this generation of smartphones, Apple decided to stick to the sizes of the previous two generations. Why invent something new, if the old one is doing quite well.


Moreover, now the iPhone is associated with such large inches of screens. The time when people were surprised by large iPhones is long gone.

  • 7: 4.7 inches, 1334×750 resolution, Retina HD, 326 ppi;
  • 7PLUS: 5.5 inches, 1920×1080 resolution, Retina HD, 401 ppi.

The appearance of black color in the line made smartphones more elegant. Now with a calm soul we say goodbye to the color Space Gray.
