One of the most popular and best-selling phones in many countries is the iPhone. Since the appearance of Apple products on the world market, its products have only improved every year and are becoming increasingly popular, not to say that all the changes went with a bang, but current iPhones are only branded smartphones. Since virtual reality technology is now hard at work improving, many would like to know what the best virtual reality glasses for iPhone can be found now.
Since these versions of the iPhone are practically the same in size and screen diagonal, the same glasses are suitable for them.
If you're not sure if you need virtual reality glasses, or you think you'll try them a couple of times and throw them in the junk drawer, these are the ones for you cardboard glasses from Google. You can buy it at a low price in various online stores. There is an improved version of them, the same glasses, with an elastic band for attaching them to the head. .
If for some reason you don't like cardboard glasses, there is another option. Homido mini- a unique thing of its kind, competitors are in no hurry to release copies of these glasses. They look like ordinary glasses, except that missing bow. They are attached to the phone with a special mount. But there is no question of any complete immersion in virtual reality, since the glasses do not have a box.
If you are sure that you will enjoy virtual reality seriously and for a long time, then you should take care of buying good VR glasses. According to customer reviews, glasses are most suitable for these iPhone models Homido Grab.
Advantages of this device over others:
Google cardboard glasses, like Homido mini, are suitable for the sixth iPhone, but Homido Grab no longer fits the maximum screen diagonal. iPhone 6 diagonal is 4.7 inches.
In addition to the glasses described above, a good option for the sixth iPhone would be glasses in the mid-price segment 3D VR Glasses. The glasses are a budget copy of the rather expensive Google Cardboard glasses. Combining a design that is pleasing to the eye, good characteristics, and the best price/quality ratio, they are one of the best sellers in their category.
Advantages:
The diagonal of the iPhone 7 is the same 4.7 inches, so all previous glasses, excluding Homido Grab, will also fit the seventh iPhone. However, I would like to consider another example of wonderful VR glasses in the mid-price segment.
I can’t say that this model is a sales leader, but it has quite a lot of fans who are sure that these glasses are the best of all those on the market. In fact, the glasses are unremarkable, 90 degrees of view, screen diagonal from 3.5 to 5.5 inches. The build is good, but not great. Custom settings in a wide range.
Perhaps the only thing that sets these glasses apart from the rest is the fact that the glasses always come with Bluetooth remote control, to perform various actions in applications when it is attached to the glasses.
For the eighth iPhone, both cardboard from Google or Homido mini, and 3D VR are suitable.
Let us consider the BOBOVR Z4 as more suitable for the iPhone 8. With its 4.7-inch screen diagonal, this is the minimum for which the BOBOVR Z4 glasses were created. The diagonal for these glasses should be from 4.7 to 6.2 inches. The viewing angle of the glasses is more than 120 degrees. Distance adjustment, high-quality assembly, high-quality materials for manufacturing and a low price, what else do top-end VR glasses need.

VR is exciting. Therefore, owners of iPhone 6/6 plus/6s plus and other models are eagerly waiting for a smartphone manufacturer to release a device tailored, like Samsung, for their phones.
A year ago, a message appeared that Apple had studied the issue and created a fairly large secret division that began studying technologies and developing its own products. According to preliminary information, it is planned to produce a full-fledged virtual reality helmet, similar to the Oculus Rift.
A helmet is a good thing. But it’s expensive, requires a connection to a PC, and generally, it’s unknown when it will be available. And I want to wander through parallel worlds today. And so, without much damage to the family budget. There is a solution. You just need to pay attention to virtual reality glasses designed to work with smartphones. Just which ones to choose?
Should I get a Google cardboard for my iPhone 6C? It’s somehow undignified to insert a cool phone into a primitive device. And the quality of work will, to put it mildly, leave much to be desired. Buy something beautiful, expensive and sophisticated? So I feel sorry for the money, my own hard-earned money, after all, does not fall from the sky. And you don’t always need to pay a large amount for additional options that you don’t know how often you will use.
The truth, as always, is in the middle. In this case, there is an excellent solution - Homido VR glasses. This French development is offered on the official website at a price of 3,990 rubles, which is 3 to 5 times cheaper than similar but expensive devices. The quality of work is no worse than that of these “similar” ones. Ideal for virtual or augmented reality games, as well as for watching 3D or 360-degree videos.
“French” can work with any smartphone with a screen diagonal from 4.0 to 5.7 inches, suitable for iOS and Android. Numerous settings position the model as a device for the whole family, because both adults and children can use it (adjustment of the interocular distance - from 57 to 65 mm). There is even an adjustment for the nearsighted or farsighted (the correction range is from – 5 to + 5 diopters), everything will be clearly visible even without glasses.
Homido is compatible with all the smartphones listed above, since the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s have a diagonal of 4.7 inches, and the iPhone 6 plus and iPhone 6s plus have a diagonal of 5.5 inches.
The design of the French model is also all right. Lightweight (only 240 g) and elegant futuristic plastic case, thanks to two fastening straps, fits well on the head and does not slip onto the forehead. On the side of the face, for convenience, a soft, replaceable pad is provided. The smartphone is held firmly in the latch and will not fall out even after sudden movements.
Homido is equipped with plastic flat-convex lenses with a diameter of 35 mm. The device provides a viewing angle of 100 degrees. There is an activity button. According to consumer reviews, the immersion effect is excellent. Both in applications and when streaming, the headset works without any complaints. And, if so, then why pay more?
