Apple iPhone 6

Apple iPhone 6The iPhone 6 will be the lesser of two new Apple iPhone in 2015. It runs Apple's latest mobile operating system, iOS 8. Apple dropped the price compared to the iPhone 5S, so the iPhone 6 is now beginning to £ 539 for 16GB model. You will probably need more space than there (the actual usable space is closer to 12GB quickly fill with apps, photos, videos and music), and the 64GB will set you back £ 619, but you'll thank yourself for spending the extra for the superior capacity Stoarge. £ 699 will get you a 128GB iPhone 6.

To put that in context the latest flagships from Samsung and Sony start from around £ 550, the Nexus 6 is £ 499, while the HTC One (M8) costs around £ 450 and the LG G3 now falls under £ 300 the iPhone 6 is an expensive flagship phone, but it is in the middle of the pack at the top Androids these days.

Built around a larger display, the iPhone 6 is the most radical change in the design of the iPhone lineup beginning of the iPhone 4 came along. At 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm it is really not a small phone, even if it is uncommonly thin. And 129 g is very light for a big-screen smartphone, much as you would expect from Apple.

In fact, the lived here since launch, we totally love the iPhone 6. At first, I felt great (not clumsy like 6 Plus) the larger screen but now it 4in iPhone 5 and 5S feeling 'wrong '. The size 4.7in screen size and proved almost perfect compromise between pocketability and availability.

We love the build quality top-end and the smooth, curved edges that join the curved edge of the screen.

We are so keen on the placement of the power button on the front of the volume buttons, though. It is far too easy to turn off the phone when you are meant to adjust the volume or take a picture. This is something to suit, subconsciously avoiding gripping the handset with fingers at the top on both sides.

The other observations we can do now that we could launch on is that - like the iPhone 6 Plus - iPhone 6 is not really useful hand. It is too much of a stretch to reach all the screen with one hand, we have not found 'reachability' to be the answer. In fact, we use it only by accident. When you double-tap the home button, the screen slides down (as below) to reach your thumb on the top half of the things that would otherwise be too far away.

The fact is that just as we move into a two-handed approach, hold the phone in one hand and controlling whatever is on the screen using one. IPhone 6 At least it is not difficult to use and top-heavy like 6 Plus - it's noticeably lighter and easier to handle.
