INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Launched: September 2014After the smaller changes that came with the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S, Apple was back to its revolutionary best with
the following generation, as the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus brought the biggest alterations in design and features since the leap from the
iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5.The most striking change the eighth generation iPhones ushered in was undoubtedly the screen size, with the iPhone
6's display leaping from the iPhone 5's 4 inches to 4.7 inches
Apple also upped the resolution from the 1136 x 640 of previous iPhones to 1334 x 750
This meant that the larger screen still had a high pixel density of 326ppi (pixels per inch), so image quality was incredibly sharp and
detailed.As the name suggests, the iPhone 6 Plus went even larger, with a whopping 5.5-inch display, marking Apple's first foray into the
The iPhone 6 Plus also got a resolution boost to full high definition, 1920 x 1080
With a pixel density of 401ppi, not only does the iPhone 6 Plus have the largest screen of any iPhone ever, but it also has the clearest.The
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus also benefit from Apple's use of "dual-domain pixels", which along with the 1300:1 contrast ratio makes the
screen on the handsets look absolutely fantastic.Both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus also ditched the industrial and sharp-edged design
that had been with the iPhone for four generations, in favour of a more ergonomically-pleasing chassis with a screen that curves into a body
with rounded edges and corners.Both handsets feature metal backs, and as we pointed out in our reviews, they take a lot of design language
from the iPad Air, resulting in a product that looks and feels genuinely premium.Another big change is that the boosted screen sizes and the
corresponding increase in body dimensions have meant that the power button now resides on the right-hand side of the devices.Along with the
launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Apple, released iOS 8, which kept many of the flat aesthetics of iOS 7 and ushered in some neat new
features.It wasn't a completely smooth launch, however, and after only a few months Apple has already patched it to iOS 8.1.3 in a bid to
squash bugs and fix problems.The rocky launch of iOS 8 was in stark contrast to the assured releases of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, with
Apple proudly announcing that the two iPhones broke the company's records for pre-orders in the first night they were available.
