What color does iPhone 6 come in? Which color of iPhone and iPad is better to choose? Stylish and straightforward Space Gray

Recently, the line of iPhone and iPad colors has been replenished with a new color: "Pink gold". The new color has become so popular that there is still a huge hype for it all over the world. Buyers are willing to overpay a lot of money to resellers just to get the iPhone 6s in this particular color.

Ultimately, we have four colors available for purchase currently: Space Grey, Gold, Silver, and Rose Gold. Many buyers rack their brains when choosing the desired color, because each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.

If you choose white color, then the appearance of the smartphone or Apple tablet will be more stylish and youthful, however, on the case of the iPhone and iPad of this color, black frames around the display, light sensors and the front camera will be visible. It is because of these shortcomings that many refuse to choose this color.

The gold color is no different from the white on the front of a smartphone or tablet, but the back of the case looks and feels completely different. The gold color, although in fact it looks more like sand, gives the back cover special kind, which, with the release of the iPhone 5s, made it possible to further emphasize its individuality.

Rose gold differs from the regular gold color only in that the back of the case is a different color. Mostly, iPhone smartphone 6s, purchased in this color, allows you to emphasize your status as the owner of the newest generation iPhone, and “Rose Gold” is very popular with girls.

When choosing a color for your iPhone or iPad, it's important to understand a few things. Scratches and abrasions will be much more visible on dark colors, so gray colors will quickly take on a used look. On iPhone space gray The display feels more alive due to the absence of black frames, or rather, due to their invisibility.

New colors like “Rose Gold” and “Gold” are tasty morsels for thieves, as they allow them to understand from afar that they are the owner of the newest and most expensive generation of iPhone. Buying new body parts is much easier for silver and space gray, as these are the most popular colors.

The most practical iPhone color and the iPad will be "Silver". A device in this color is equally suitable for men and girls. The second place goes to “Space Gray”, which earns its place due to the “picture-in-the-palm” effect due to the invisible frames around the display. Third place receives “Gold” and fourth place “Rose Gold”.

Until December 22 inclusive, everyone has the opportunity to use Xiaomi Mi Band 4, spending only 1 minute of their personal time on it.

iPhone - originally conceived as the one and only, today is offered for every taste and color. Although, for every taste and color - this may be an exaggeration, but, in any case, at the moment the range of i-smartphones is wider than ever.

Currently on official sale are iPhone SE, iPhone 6S/7, as well as Plus versions of the last two. Moreover, each of the devices is also offered in several colors! And if choosing a model is not so difficult - the most advanced - the “Seven”, lovers of small smartphones - the SE version, and the rest, in fact, the iPhone 6S; then with color it’s already more difficult. Strict Space Gray or catchy Rose Gold? Classic but spectacular Silver or bright and somewhat controversial Gold?

Well, let's figure out which iPhone color suits you best! We'll look at the iPhone 6S as an example.

The iPhone 6S is offered to users in four colors - the first two can be called classic - this is gray, which Apple very beautifully dubbed Spay Gray, which means “space gray” and silver - Silver - which for some reason special name didn't get it. Well, okay, this, in general, is not the first, not the last and not the most interesting riddle from the “apple” giant.

What are these two smartphones? Let's take a look at them. Let's start with rear panels.

Do you want the author's honest opinion? They are almost the same! Yes, yes, according to Apple’s idea, one model is conceived as gray, and the second as silver, this is clear, but here we are not talking about the silver that shines. So in the end it turns out that in reality we have a light gray and dark gray body. At the same time, the shade of the “apples” and the unfortunate antenna stripes, which everyone has been tirelessly criticizing for several years now, is almost identical.

Well, now let’s take a look at the “face” of the devices, and here there will be no accusations of sameness - because Spay Gra y has a black front panel, and Silver has a white front panel. Due to this, the first one looks more monolithic and solid, and on the silver one, sensors, the “eye” of the front camera and Touch ID “loom” brightly.

Whether this is good or bad, everyone will decide for themselves - many, for example, find a white fingerprint scanner framed around the perimeter with a silver edging to be an even more elegant solution than the “lost” black one without an accent, while others, on the contrary, will like the invisibility of the latter.

However, we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the white and black front panel - objective and not so much - a little lower, but for now...

Experiments of the "apple" giant

...let's talk about two more models color range iPhone 6S, which cannot be classified as classic - Gold - gold and Rose Gold - rose gold. However, they can no longer be called experimental; after all, these colors have been in the lineup for several years and they are definitely popular.

And here, on the contrary, let's start with the front panel. And why? Yes, because, in general, the front surface of both Gold and Rose Gold is practically no different from the Silver version, the only difference that is not immediately visible is the Touch ID edging - in Gold it is golden, in Rose Gold it is pink color. All!

But the rear panels are a different matter - you don’t need to look closely, it’s immediately clear that “xy from xy”. The silver model is light gray with dark gray stripes and antennas, Gold is golden, Rose Gold is pink, and the antennas of the last two are white - also, by the way, the decision is very subjective - some will praise it for the interesting accents, while others will scold it - “Well, why did you single out something that no one likes!”

Be that as it may, everything that concerns the back panels, by and large, is not so important for one simple reason - the iPhone 6S smartphone is not cheap, and therefore most users, trying to protect it as much as possible from scratches and falls, put on a case . Well, besides, the range of accessories for i-smartphones is so wide that it is very difficult to deny yourself the desire to refresh your device with some interesting case.

But the result, of course, is unfair - Apple is trying, experimenting with the back of the case, but for the most part it is simply covered with an accessory. However, thank God that, in desperation, the Apple giant did not decide to make smartphones completely gold or pink, because, in fact, the success of these experimental models lies in the correct dosage. Whatever you say, when working with such colors it is very difficult to find the optimal line and get something elegant and not vulgar - the “apple” giant did a great job!

Come to the dark side... if you want!

However, if you are one of those who do without cases, for you the color of the back panel is great importance, as well as the “perception” of specks, specks of dust and traces of fingerprints in one shade or another. However, in this sense, all models can be divided into two groups - light, in which there will be silver, pink and gold, and dark, in which gray will be forlornly bored.

So, what are the advantages of light-colored models? Right! Fingerprints on them are not as visible as on a dark one; this, by the way, applies to both the front and rear panels. In addition... and no “besides”, because this is where the positives end. Motes and specks of dust will be visible on any light model, of course, to a much greater extent than on a dark one. This is especially true for the “face”. Yes, Apple smartphones are all so solid and monolithic, but dust will always find a place to hide, alas! She especially likes to “nest” at the edge of the display and around Touch ID. And this is already an obvious problem. If a speck of dust gets under the black fingerprint scanner, it will be much less noticeable than if this happens to any light-colored model.

And here is also the time to remember about the sensors, which are very noticeable on the white panels. Yes, a prominent Touch ID is a subjective question, but very few people find the black “holes” above the display of light versions aesthetically pleasing. However, frankly speaking, they don’t look like such an eyesore - if you don’t look closely and don’t find fault, all the elements of the white panel look quite nice. On the other hand, how can you resist the temptation to find fault with Apple? By the way, we apologize to those who didn’t notice these sensors before and now don’t know how to “unsee” them; after a while they will again seem like sheer nonsense to you.

And finally, another problem with light-colored models. Look carefully at the display and its borders - you will see a narrow thin black border around the perimeter, which the black front panel seems to “erase”, and as a result the picture literally lies on the surface, which visually feels much cooler.

Which iPhone color is better to choose?

What's the result? But here's what - if when buying an iPhone 6S it doesn't really matter to you what color it will be, take Space Gray, you'll get a practical gadget with a cool effect on the screen (although the fingerprints on it, let us remind you, will be more noticeable). If you want color and variety, you can always buy a case.

On the other hand, what should you do if you really want a white front panel? Then forget about practicality, you still have to choose with your soul. Note that the screen of the light versions is just as good as the dark one, it just visually looks a little different. Well, don’t be afraid of experimental colors - pink and gold smartphones made by Apple look very decent! Although we remind you about the white antenna stripes on them, if you are their ardent opponent, the gray and silver models are more suitable for you.

The frantic rush to buy the flagships of the American company Apple - iPhone 6 and 6 plus - has subsided a little. Users no longer comb through all available products, but purposefully choose the most suitable option for themselves. And in addition to thinking about which model is better - 6 or 6 plus, you need to decide on the choice of color.

However, Apple doesn’t really indulge consumers with the colorful variety of its gadgets. The color range of the new iPhone case is limited to three, now traditional, options: space grey, gold and grey, which are offered by the manufacturer for the second year in a row.

iPhone color - torment of choice

But even such a meager number makes many people think: “What color of iPhone case is better to choose?” As practice shows, there is no clear answer. Here everything depends solely on the future owner and his preferences. And we also need to thank Apple for the fact that we have to choose one of three.

First of all, it is worth noting that the gold and “silver” cases, both in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, have a white front panel, and the “space gray” case has a black one. Omitting points like: “black suits boys best, and gold suits girls best,” let’s dwell on the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Black is always relevant!

It is clear that the iPhone in black (more precisely in black plus dark gray) is a classic that has been and will be relevant because of its versatility and practicality. It looks impressive and stylish, and therefore Apple decided to choose it to represent the entire line in the promotional campaign.

Also, plus everything, the image on the display, thanks to the dark frames, is clearly shaded and seems even more contrasting and bright. This moment is especially noticeable on the big screen iPhone models 6 plus.

Whether in silver or gold, the iPhone is always in great shape.

The advantage of the silver case is that it is not painted - it is just original solid aluminum with a transparent coating, when scratched the color does not change, and damage will not be so noticeable. The same cannot be said about the other two options. Although the hull new iPhone The 6 and 6 plus now have a special anodized finish that allows for deep penetrating painting. Which means Apple gadgets will remain unchanged for a long time, and the colors of the coatings will not fade over time.

Traditionally, stains and fingerprints are less noticeable on a gold or silver-colored case. As you can see in the picture below, they are only visible on the shiny Apple logo, and the surrounding panel is clear.

But on black, the dust and dirt that inevitably appears during operation, which accumulates in the edges around the display and the Touch ID key, is not noticeable.

In general, the black iPhone visually looks monolithic. All working holes and buttons are clearly not visible on it, and there is an illusion that it is better protected. And in white, all the above elements are contrastingly graded, and when the monitor is off, it sometimes looks broken.

Color is not the main thing

As you can see, Apple does not strive for color verification of its products; all the devices it offers are already flying apart in an instant. The subjective and minor differences listed above do not in any way affect the functionality and smooth operation of the iPhone 6 and 6 plus.

By and large, you most likely won’t even see the colors of the rear panel. Because to protect such an expensive gadget, you will probably purchase a protective case. Moreover, the bodies of both models are overly streamlined and smooth, and therefore simply slip out of your hands. This is especially true for the large iPhone 6 plus. And the use of a cover makes the original color not so important.

Although, in essence, this is all a matter of taste. So just choose the one that you like best, and don’t worry about how it will perform during use, or what others will say.

Apple has released the 6th version of the legendary mobile phone iPhone gadget. It is produced in two modifications (A1549 and A1586). In addition, there is a “tablet phone” iPhone 6 Plus (also two models - A1522 and A1524). Both devices, of course, fall into the premium category. How much does iPhone 6 cost? Depending on the specific national market (as well as the dealer), its price is about 30-34 thousand rubles.

How do the models differ?

How, strictly speaking, do models within the same device class differ? Let's consider each of the two modifications. Model A1549 and A1586 are actually practically the same thing. As well as A1522 and A1524 (Plus modification). It’s just that the first index is adopted for sales mainly in the USA. This model comes with charger under a very different one from the Russian one, therefore, if we bought an iPhone A1549, then most likely we will have to purchase an additional adapter for the power adapter. But it is completely inexpensive.

In turn, the A1586 model is sold mainly in Europe. Its main technological feature is support for 20 bands within the LTE standard (while the “American” modification is only capable of working with 16). As a rule, the version sold in the USA is cheaper.

Almost the same patterns are visible when comparing A1522 and A1524. The first supports slightly fewer LTE bands and is equipped with a charger adapted to sockets used in the United States. There is a misconception among users that the “American” version of the iPhone does not work well with Russian mobile operators. This is absolutely not true, experts emphasize. iPhones are adapted to work stable with almost everyone mobile operators world, and in all existing communication standards, including the most modern, LTE.

What's included in the package

In the factory box, the user will find the iPhone 6 smartphone itself, a proprietary headset such as EarPods, a cable for USB communication, as well as a tool for conveniently removing the SIM card from the gadget. An instruction manual is also included.

Design, appearance

iPhone 6 is available in three shades - dark gray, gold, and silver. The device body is made of aluminum, its design is monolithic. The antenna elements are visible at the back and sides. The main camera protrudes slightly beyond the body line. Below the screen is the "Home" key. Above the display - additional camera, as well as a voice speaker. The screen coating is high-quality oleophobic glass.

The device's power button is located on the right side (while in many others it is on the top). On the left there are keys for turning on the sound and adjusting its level. At the bottom there is a USB-Lightning connector. A nanoSIM card is inserted into the slot located on the right side of the case. Device dimensions: 138.1x67x6.9 mm.

As befits devices in its line, iPhone produces a premium gadget. According to experts and users, the design of the smartphone is made on top level. The device is pleasant to hold and comfortable to use. Owners are especially impressed by the balanced colors that highlight the sophistication of every curve of the iPhone 6 case.

The design of the device is assessed by users and experts in an extremely positive manner. Enthusiasts of the iOS line of devices respond very positively to the new design approaches implemented in the iPhone 6th version. However, this kind of sentiment, as experts note, is completely typical for evaluations of devices under the Apple brand. Apple gadgets are famous primarily for their high quality of design and assembly.

Screen

The display of the gadget is high-tech, made using IPS technology. Diagonal - 4.7 inches. The resolution is high - 1334 by 750 pixels. There is LED backlighting. In Apple's classification, the screen installed on the iPhone 6 is called Retina. Using system settings, you can adjust the brightness of the display and the size of program elements. Experts and users note the highest quality of the screen.

The image is perfectly visible from any viewing angle. The large diagonal, experts say, expands the multimedia capabilities of the device: viewing videos, web pages and pictures is very comfortable. The iPhone 6 display displays very natural, rich colors. Pixelation, as the owners note, is almost invisible.

Possibilities

The hardware installed in the device, as well as in other devices in the iPhone line, assumes the highest performance. All four smartphone models under the iPhone 6 brand (the differences between them are small - they mainly lie in the size of the built-in memory, but more on that later) support the most modern technologies communications in 2G, 3G and 4G standards. All modifications support communication via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth version 4, as well as a modern NFC module. There is support for multimedia (traditional for iPhones), MP3, AAX, AIFF, ALAC, and WAV.

A powerful processor is a key factor in the high performance of the iPhone 6. The technical characteristics of the device, which we indicated above, according to many experts, are secondary to the role played by the dual-core, 64-bit Apple A8 chip, operating at a frequency of 1.3 GHz. The processor is complemented by the M8 module, which controls the accelerometer (acceleration meter), gyroscope, and compass integrated into the smartphone. The iPhone's graphics subsystem runs on the GX6650 chip. There is support for GPS, GLONASS.

Software

The selection of hardware components of the device would probably not imply high performance without high-quality software filling. There is one in the gadget, and this is the iOS operating system in version 8. The quality of the software, according to experts and users, is the highest. Despite the fact that the smartphone only has 1 GB of RAM, there are no slowdowns or freezes in operation.

Moving between windows is very smooth, applications launch quickly. As such, the level of performance of the iPhone 6 is quite consistent with the user tasks assigned to the device.

Camera

We wrote above that the screen installed on the iPhone 6 determines great comfort in viewing multimedia content. This opportunity would probably not be complete without quality camera. This hardware component has decent specifications. Resolution - 8 megapixels, 5 lenses in the optical system. There is a system focusing mode. According to many experts, the quality of products made Apple help iPhone 6 photos are comparable to those that are typical for pictures from a specialized camera.

Battery

The smartphone battery, as stated by the manufacturer, provides about 14 hours battery life in conversation mode. If the device is not actively used, it will work without recharging for about 10 days. In video playback mode, the smartphone will function for about 11 hours, when playing music - about fifty. The experts who compiled iPhone review 6, when testing the battery capabilities, achieved generally comparable results.

Memory resources

iPhones traditionally have large amounts of built-in flash memory. True, Apple provides individual models within the same line with different indicators in relation to this resource. For the iPhone 6, the differences are quite significant. Depending on the specific version of the device, 16 GB of flash memory, 64 or 128 GB can be installed. At the same time, not every smartphone on competing platforms can boast at least the same 16 GB, not to mention more impressive amounts of resource.

Modification Plus

Our review of the iPhone 6 would be incomplete without examining the characteristics of one of the main modifications of the phone. It's about about iPhone 6 Plus. This, of course, is not a “Chinese” iPhone 6, it is a full-fledged branded version. What are distinctive features of this device in comparison with the flagship model? Key Feature The iPhone 6 Plus is that, according to its classification, it belongs to the “tablet phone” type gadgets. That is, a kind of hybrid between a smartphone and a tablet (which is expressed primarily in the dimensions of the “plus” modification of the iPhone 6: the device body is noticeably larger than that of the flagship version - 158x78x7.1 mm).

iPhone 6 Plus: specifications

The Korean smartphone has advantages in terms of display diagonal - 5.7 inches. Also, the Samsung device has a slightly higher pixel density - 515 (versus 401 for the iPhone). Main and secondary camera Galaxy Note surpasses the similar iPhone hardware component in resolution (16 and 3.7 megapixels for the “Korean”).

But does it matter that the iPhone is inferior in most technical characteristics closest competitor on the Android platform? Experts have differing opinions on this issue (however, this state of affairs has been observed for many years). Some experts are sure: the main thing is not “megahertz” and “megapixels”, but the balance of technologies, the level of interaction of electronic components. Even if, they believe, the processor and other microcircuits do not work so fast, but if they are stable, then such a device is, in fact, more productive than its competitor, which has nominally more impressive parameters. Apple's platform is famous primarily for its balanced hardware and the compatibility of various hardware components. And therefore, the fact that iPhones are inferior in characteristics to competitors on the Android platform, by and large, does not mean anything, many experts are sure. Apple devices have conquered the market, they believe, largely due to their stability. As well as stylish design and convenient controls. iPhone version 6 is no exception.

The buttons and connectors on the iPhone 6 Plus body remained unchanged quantitatively and qualitatively, but their appearance and location were rethought by Apple designers. The main thing is that the power button is no longer located on the top, but has been moved to the right side so that it can be pressed without having to grab the smartphone in your hand. Undoubtedly a convenient solution, but the implementation is poor. The fact is that on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus the button is in the same place relative to the edges. In practice, this means that in a smaller device it is located opposite thumb, and in a model with a 5.5-inch screen you will have to reach for it or even slightly grab the smartphone in your hand. In the iPhone 6 Plus, for the convenience of users, it should have been moved closer to the center of the smartphone. The button itself has become curved, similar to the edge of a smartphone. The volume buttons also changed their shape and became elongated instead of round. The mechanical controls retain a clear, tight action and a characteristic click when pressed. At the bottom there is a Lightning connector, speaker and microphone holes, as well as a 3.5 mm port for connecting headphones.

It doesn't matter whether we're talking about the iPhone 6 or the iPhone 6 Plus, the protruding camera module was one of the most unpleasant surprises. Perfectionists will probably be enraged by the fact that the smartphone sways slightly when working with it on a flat surface. Considering that the iPhone 6 Plus is larger and 0.2 mm thicker than the iPhone 6, Cupertino could try to solve this problem and pack the protruding lens flush with the body, even at the expense of optical stabilization.

While the back of the device may be a disappointment for some, it’s hard to resist the eye-catching front side of the new product. The main change is the rounding of the protective glass of the display at the edges, so that it flows into metal case, which also received rounded shapes on the sides. The front panel looks most advantageous in the hands, since it is very difficult to convey the feeling of this design solution in photographs.

If we talk about the choice of color, I am most impressed by the strict dark gray case, even if in the case of other manufacturers I prefer bright or unusual solutions. Compared to the model with a 4.7-inch screen, the gold color of the iPhone 6 Plus is much smaller. This is very unexpected, because apart from the case size there are no differences between the devices. Another argument in favor of “space gray” is the black front panel, which merges with the screen and hides the wide frames around the display. The front sides of the silver and gold iPhone 6 Plus are white, so the contrast with the black screen makes us once again notice the not-so-great ratio between the display and the device as a whole. The “space gray” body color can also get a bonus point for the dark inserts on the back. The snow-white plastic of the gold and silver models is easier to stain or scratch, and flaws on it will be much more noticeable. As a result, there is a high probability that over time the presentation of the back of the smartphone will be lost.

Regarding impressions from appearance iPhone 6 Plus, the first word that comes to my mind is “clumsy.” The reason for this lies in the unusually large body. On the one hand, he is still the same stylish handsome man as his brother with a diagonal of 4.7 inches, on the other hand, it is too unusual to see such a large device controlled by a mobile phone. operating system Apple. Probably, in a few months this feeling will disappear and the iPhone 6 Plus will look much more organic. This is due to the thin body, the highest quality of materials and workmanship, as well as a fresh look from Apple designers on the exterior of the device.
