Sneak Peek at iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Monday, 22 September 2014 – 3:39 p.m.
Now, Apple’s two new iPhone models, the iPhone 6 (4.7 “) and iPhone 6 Plus (5.5 “), finally launched in several major markets.
This article reflects only the first impressions after using both models since Saturday 20 September. We’ll be back with a full fledged iPhone 6 review.
We have been ahead of you
We have obtained both models in good time before the Norwegian launch on September 26.
In the USA, namely mobiles launched on 19 September, and with very long queues.
In the UK and Australia have many waited patiently for hours in long queues to be one of the first with Apple’s new models.

This is the biggest iPhone launch since the first model was showcased in January 2007
Only once before, Apple has launched two new models at once, and it was last year iPhone 5s and 5c, but these models have the same screen size (4 “). It is not the case this year.
This year, Apple released two new larger models simultaneously with iOS 8.
We will not spend time operating system iOS 8 of this sneak peek, as we have previously covered all the great new features.
Let’s summarize by saying that there are many new and useful under the hood of Apple’s latest mobile and tablet operating system.

This is new
The two new models both have a two core 64-bit 1.4 GHz A8 chip from Apple. The first mobile chip with 64-bit chipset was introduced in the iPhone 5′s last year.
Here are ståa As of today there are not many apps that take advantage of 64-bit chips in the three latest Apple phones, but more apps will probably take advantage of this in the future.
What we notice most is Apple products with 64-bit chips start 64-bit apps much faster than before.
Besides an even faster A8 chip and iOS 8, the two models:
* Bigger and better screens (both have a panel Apple has christened ‘Retina HD “. resolution: 1334 x 750 and 1920 x 1080 on the Plus model)
* Better cameras with” Focus Pixels “and 240 photos per second video recording (1080p video @ 60 FPS also supported)
* iPhone 6 Plus is the only Apple mobile optical image stabilization.
* Faster data connectivity with support for even more LTE bands
* A completely new design
* Improved battery life
* New “M8″ motion sensor with barometer, ie air pressure gauge
* Thinner (iPhone 5s: 7, 6 mm – iPhone 6: 6.9 mm – iPhone 6 Plus: 7.1 mm)
* NFC wireless payment by mobile phone (“Apple Pay” comes first to the United States next month. Norwegian launch unknown)
No waiting
Both the model is very fast. You’re not going to complain that things take time, but note that both models still only has 1 GB memory.
In other words: you have many websites up, saved enough not all in memory and must be reloaded.
We still marked improvements in this area, but it is probably due as much iOS 8 as the new A8 chip, these two are the first.
Still feels both models faster than the latest iPad models, and it says a bit. There is much force in these two and the Plus model might cannibalize iPad mini sales. 
Design
Apple can design and manufacture, so this time also meets the but in a slightly different way than before. There are pluses and minuses here. Let us explain.
We can no longer completely comparing iPhone 6 models with an old classic wristwatch or a Leica camera. The design is not as iconic as before. 
The two new models are more reminiscent smaller iPad models than an iPhone 4 or 5 and aerial straps on the back are some of the most glaring we have seen an Apple product for a long time.
It is not so bad that you feel ashamed, but one is not hot in the heart of staring at the back.
Not that you’re going to make it so very much, for both are very good in the hand thanks to the rounded edges. Gone are the sharp and focused designed first introduced with the iPhone 4
iPhone 6 models now looks more like a any other major mobile and it also pulls down slightly due to camera lens sticking out the back.
There is not a thing to think about, but Apple sets high quality standards when it comes to design, and we feel these two points, pulls down the overall impression.
But besides the six founders are better in the hand, there is also another design improvement we greatly appreciate, and it has to do with the screen.
panels
Both phones have panels Apple markets as “Retina HD”, but only Plus edition features full HD resolution (1080p).
That said: Both look great, and are better in sunlight than their predecessors.
In particular iPhone 6 Plus has a very good panel with such good color, sharpness and detail that the right images really pop off the screen.
Glass material covering the great panel is now further out on the sides with a small curve so that one no longer going touched Aluminum when you scroll back and forth in iOS 8.
This is a small but important detail that makes you feel even more immersed in the touching the screen.
This bothers us
There are always things that are not quite as they should when launching new products, and Apple’s new mobile is no exception.
Fortunately, it does not talk about things that are so problematic that we now discourage the purchase of products, moreover, most of the problems correct themselves over time to help.
But anyway: All apps is actually not optimized for the new, larger screens. This is particularly noticeable with the iPhone 6 Plus and Facebook’s Messenger app. The app sees everything magnified on the 5.5-inch screen.
We could also wished Apple had done more to make use of the wide screen area of the iPhone 6 Plus.
Admittedly turned home screen of your mobile phone when using it in landscape mode, and some apps are optimlaisert for this, but not all.
It’s a bit like the iPad: One has lots of space to romp on, but you can still only do one thing at a time.
We have not noticed major heat issues, but the first time you set up your mobile and download large amounts of data indicated that they are working under the aluminum .
A not simple choice
This is a question we’ve been pondering for a lot of. It’s not easy to choose.
iPhone 6 Plus has better camera and battery life, but it is so great in the hand that we are afraid of losing it every time we take it out of his pocket.
It is also a fact that it is difficult to achieve tactile elements at the top of the screen, and although “reachability” feature (two light touches, do not press on home screen) solves this problem relatively all right by sending the content down to the thumb, it is still an additional operation.
We suspect that the creeping dread of losing it decreases the use of a cover, but it gets the more it quite slim profile of 7.1 mm a good deal fatter.
iPhone 6 – the best of the Most
iPhone 6 is obviously much easier to hold with one hand, and it is much easier than Plus version that weighs 172 g.
In fact feels lighter iPhone 6 than iPhone 5s, although this is not the case (112 vs. 129 g.)
Probably we are fooled by the thinner, the new rounded corners and the 0.7 “large screen.
Most people would probably like 4.7 “model best. Those of us with large hands will probably possibly drawn to the big Plus model because the battery lasts longer, but it depends if it still is not in excess.
If you want to replace an iPad mini is enough answer is quite simple: the iPhone 6 Plus is the solution.
You should nonetheless try both the model before any purchase.
The new iPhone model, and especially six shoulder, feels like very good successors to the iPhone 5, but we expect to match die until we have tested them properly.
