iPhone 6 – What To Expect

Hey guys this is Austin and today I’m here with a video going over everything you needto know about the iPhone 6. I recently spent some time out in LA taking a look at mockups of the iPhone 6 along withthe new sapphire display. If these leaks are true then come September we’re going to belooking at the biggest iPhone ever. Take a look at the current iPhone 5s and we’ve gota squared off build that hasn’t changed that much since the iPhone 4 all the way back in2010. For the new design Apple has taken a lot of inspiration from the iPod touch witha smooth, tapered edge that has a very nice feel in the hand. Something that’s reallyimpressive is just how thin the phone is, I hardly thought the 5s felt chunky but the6 is even better. This first mockup is also sporting a much larger display at 4. 7 inches,bringing it right in line with other phones like the Moto X and Nexus 5. Not only willit get bigger but Apple will also likely bump the resolution to 1704 by 960, just shortof 1080p but still more than detailed enough to be a big improvement over the current iPhone. However that’s not the only thing that’s going to be new with the iPhone 6 screen. Rightnow Apple uses sapphire glass for the home button and camera lens on the 5s however myfriend Marques Brownlee got his hands on the full sapphire crystal display for the iPhone6. First thing I did was look through it and look how clear it was which was pretty cool,I’m not sure if Gorilla Glass is that clear too. But I took a knife to it, I took somekeys to it and then I bent it under my own foot, under my own power I tried as hard asI could to shatter it which was probably a bad idea if I actually shattered it, it probablywould have hurt a lot but yeah I tried to bend it quite a bit and that is where thefirst video ended. So of course we had to find out how much abuse the screen could actuallytake so with the help of Joe Rogan we put it to the test and you guys can find thatvideo in the link in the description. It’s safe to say though that the screen is goingto be a lot tougher than on your current phone. There are also a lot of rumors that therewill be an even bigger 5. 5 inch iPhone 6. Based on the mockup it’s very similar to the4. 7 inch model however we might not be seeing it quite as soon as you would expect. Theymilked the 3. 5 for longer than they should have, they milked the 4 for longer than theyshould have, why are they not going to put a 4. 7 out, milk that this year and all ofa sudden 2015 comes, here’s the latest and greatest 5. 5. I think there’s a sweet spotto be had, I’ve talked about this in previous videos, and the 4. 7 for me is really, that’sthe sweet spot as far as I’m concerned. I still like a smaller display, the Moto X hasa 4. 7 inch display, love the way that that size is in the hand. Right now it seems likethe 5. 5 inch iPhone 6 will be at least a few months behind the 4. 7 inch version but besidesthe screen size what’s the difference? One of the advantages to the bigger display ismore space for a larger battery. Many of the rumors are suggesting that the 4. 7 inch iPhone6 will have an 1810 milliampere-hour battery, a bit bigger than the current 5s but a lotsmaller than what you might be able to find in the 5. 5 inch version. The bigger batteryfor the 4. 7 inch model is a nice improvement but since it’s powering a bigger display thedifference isn’t that big of a deal. What could help battery life a lot though is thenew Apple A8. The A7 system on a chip from the current iPhone is seriously impressiveso for the next generation Apple likely will focus on improving battery life with a new20 nanometer process while pushing more on the graphics side for performance. Unfortunatelyone thing that could be a problem is the iPhone 6 camera. Odds are we’ll see some minor improvementsbut if the mockups are correct the lens will also protrude from the back of the phone. Apple did the same thing with the iPod touch and while throwing a case on it should fixthe problem having a lens poking out of the back of the phone all the time is a prettymajor problem to me. So what do you guys think about the iPhone 6? Are you excited for the4. 7 inch, the 5. 5 inch version or do you just not care at all? Definitely be sure to letme know in the comments below! Also don’t forget to check out all of the other videosthat we did on the iPhone 6, so we shot the display with a freaking arrow so if you guyswant to check that out, you can see the behind the scenes, all of the fun stuff that we didthis weekend, the link will be in the description of this video so check out all of the videosand enjoy the extreme consumer durability testing. Because, you know, scratch tests,drop tests, yeah but shooting with an arrow something I do with my phones all the time. Anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one.
