iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus embody Apple’s continuing environmental progress. They are designed with the following features to reduce environmental impact:
Some features may not be available for all countries or all areas.
Application and service availability and pricing are subject to change.
Interestingly, the main differences between these two models lie in the design and appearance. All other characteristics of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus phones are almost identical.
In general, even the design of the two models is slightly similar. The only noticeable difference is in size - the screen diagonal of the iPhone 6 is 4.7 inches, while the Plus version is 5.5 inches. Accordingly, the overall dimensions will be different.
But if you take a closer look, it becomes noticeable that outwardly the Plus just repeats the design of the 6, with some changes. For example, different colors of the upper blocks with a camera and lighting.
In fact, many users noted that version 6 is too noticeably similar to the iPhone 2G model. And indeed, there are similar elements.
By default, the iPhone comes with Apple's own processor, which, oddly enough, is called Apple A8.
In its depths there are two cores with a frequency of 1.4 GHz. And it is assembled on a 64-bit ARMv8-A architecture. There is 1 GB of RAM available in the device. The characteristics of the internal memory in the iPhone 6 can be represented by values of 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB. Interestingly, Apple usually has more space here.
Both iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have the same set of hardware.
Since iPhone smartphones always keep up with the times, their communications usually keep up with current technological innovations. The same is with the characteristics of the iPhone 6 version. Communication standards are supported up to 4G.
Wireless technologies are also represented by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC. Wi-Fi supports the latest standards, up to 802.11 ac. The device can operate in two frequency ranges - 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. This is very convenient and will increase the speed of receiving and sending data, especially in places overloaded with networks.
Bluetooth doesn't really stand out. Normal interface version 4.0. NFC is used to pay for purchases directly with the smartphone itself using Apple Pay technology.
Navigational specifications iPhones 6 and 6 Plus are presented with a module capable of working in various systems - GPS and GLONASS. Separately, it is worth highlighting A-GPS, which helps to correct data from satellites using the Internet, thereby improving the quality and accuracy of determination. The smartphone also supports iBeacon technology. With its help, you can view the location of friends or special beacons installed in different parts of the world.
We talked a little about the diagonal at the beginning of the article. Now a little more detail. The screen is made using IPS technology. The Plus version has a resolution of 1920 by 1080 - that is, FullHD. The final pixel density is 401 PPI. A simple 6 has 1334 by 750 points. The pixel density of the latter is 326 PPI. These gadgets use the so-called Retina display, which is mostly just a marketing name. In fact, all screens that produce a pixel density greater than 300 are considered retina by Apple.
The starting operating system supplied to new devices is iOS 8. An update to version 11.3.1 is available for 6 and 6 Plus. Concerning overall performance, then the gadget produced about 48,000 in the AnTuTu test, plus or minus 2-3 thousand - depending on running applications. This is a very good indicator.
Since the screens are very different, the batteries used in the versions were different. The 6 uses a 1810 mAh battery, and the Plus version has a 2915 mAh battery. Despite the energy-efficient processor, the smartphone has to be recharged during the day during active use.
Touch ID was first used on the predecessor of version 6 - iPhone 5S.
Now it is installed in all other models of phones and tablets. Two generations of the sensor are known. iPhone 6 and 6 Plus received the first, but 6S and 6S Plus already received the second.
Both smartphones - the sixth and the "plus" - have identical camera modules. There is only a small difference: the camera of the Plus version has optical image stabilization. However, it is almost impossible to detect a large difference between images. It is likely that the 6 Plus camera will perform better in cases of shooting with shaky hands - provided that the level of background shaking is the same.
Naturally, the Plus version is larger and, accordingly, heavier. The width of the gadgets has a difference of about 1 cm: for 6 - 67 mm. The length varies by 2 cm: for 6 - 138 mm. The thickness changes slightly, by only 0.2 mm: for 6 - 6.9 mm. It is quite difficult to detect by eye.
6 Plus is heavier than its brother by 43 grams and weighs 172 g. The weight has increased due to the use of more battery power.
Versions with the letter S came out much later than the simple “sixes” and were a more technologically advanced and innovative product.
In particular, the characteristics of the iPhone 6S phone used new hardware, new software, and the available colors were slightly changed. One of the main innovations was the 3D Touch screen, which responded to touch force. The fingerprint scanner has received a second generation.
The processor, the main characteristic of the iPhone 6S, was installed in both new products with a more modern one - A9. It was also built on a 64-bit architecture, had two cores, but with a higher frequency - 1.8 GHz.
The amount of RAM has also been increased to 2 GB. The gradation of its memory was mainly in two versions: 32 GB and 128 GB.
The standard operating system upon purchase is iOS 9. It can be upgraded to 11.2.6.
The ratio of screen sizes and resolutions of the two smartphones 6S and 6S Plus remained within the logic of its predecessor. The “Plus” received a 5.5-inch screen and a resolution of 1920 by 1080, while the regular 6S had 4.7 inches and 1334 by 750. The technology used in the screens remained the same - IPS.
S-models received new modems and transmitters. Operating frequency ranges up to 4G remained the same for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. But LTE has already become noticeably faster. Category 6 networks with a bandwidth of 300 Mbit/s are used here.
Wi-Fi standards are represented by all known ones, up to 802.11 ac. The module can operate at two frequencies - 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Navigation includes GPS, GLONASS and auxiliary A-GPS.
The S batteries are different, which is not surprising - after all, their consumers are also different. The simple version has a 1715 mAh battery, and the Plus version has a 2750 mAh battery. In fact, the developers only reduced the battery charge in new gadgets, which affected their autonomy. It is almost impossible to last all day with a full battery while actively using most functions without additional recharging.
But the 3D Touch function pleased fans. The introduction of pressing force has opened up new horizons for using all the functions of a smartphone. Now it has become possible to perform several different actions with essentially the same movement. So-called quick actions have also appeared - that is, by pressing harder on the application icon, you can use certain functionality without going into it. This turned out to be a very convenient innovation, although it took a little getting used to.
The entire iPhone 6 line was divided into four different devices, each of which was strikingly different from the others in some way.
The most important difference between the two models is the size. Accordingly, screen diagonals and resolutions also differ. The simple “six” has a diagonal of 4.7 inches, and the Plus has a diagonal of 5.5. Inside, both have the same processor, the same graphics core, and absolutely the same size and type of RAM. The modems and types of networks supported are also exactly the same. The camera modules are similar, but Plus is also equipped with optical stabilization. In general, we can say that 6 Plus is 6 large.
The analogy of the differences of the S series is completely inherited from the simple 6. Hardware, interfaces, capabilities - everything is the same. Only the sizes differ. And just like the 6: the 6S has a 4.7 diagonal and a resolution of 1440 by 750, and the 6S Plus has 1920 by 1080 at 5.5 inches. The rest of the characteristics of the iPhone 6S Plus are no different from the 6S.
But here the difference is more noticeable. The dimensions are, of course, the same, but the interior decoration varies greatly.
Firstly, the A9 processor in the 6S is declared to be more efficient and productive compared to the A8 in the iPhone 6. The frequency of the same architecture is higher, and a newer technical process is used.
In addition to the fact that in S-ke it was increased RAM, and its type is also a newer technology - LPDDR4.
The new modem and transmitter made it possible to increase performance in 4th generation networks.
The changes affected both cameras. Their resolutions were increased to 12 MP for the main one and to 5 MP for the front one. Well, the presence of such new solutions as, for example, 3D Touch tips the scales when choosing towards the 6S.
All varieties of models in the 6th line can still be purchased in stores.
The pricing for this line is quite strange. For example, 6 by 32 GB can be purchased for 21,500 rubles, but the 6 Plus version with the same characteristics for 16 GB costs 34,000 rubles. A slightly smaller spread can be observed in the S series: the younger model can be purchased for 27,000 rubles, and the Plus for 34,000 rubles.
Now, Apple has introduced the world to new iPhone 6 models! The phones will be available from September 19 in the US, Canada, England, Germany and some Asian countries. It's no secret that despite the simplicity of operating the phone, it remains a high-tech gadget with serious characteristics. Therefore, it is very important to buy the original iPhone 6, choose the right model, what is the difference between the iPhone 6 models. If you choose the wrong model, then, unfortunately, some features of the phone may not be available, such as high speed internet LTE(4G).
At the moment, Apple offers the buyer two models of iPhone 6 (iPhone 6 Plus) - A1549 and A1586. They look the same, but technically there are some differences between them. We are especially interested in the support of iPhone 6 LTE networks from Russian operators (Megafon, MTS, Beeline).
Difference between iPhone 6 (iPhone 6 Plus) models:
1) iPhone 6 model A1549 (A1522)
This modification supports 16 bands (frequencies) of LTE (4G) networks: (frequencies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29), HSPA+ / UMTS / DC-HSDPA (800, 850, 900, 1800 , 1900, 2100 MHz) and GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz).
The A1549 model is sold primarily in the USA, which means it can be purchased cheaper than any other model in the world. Also, these characteristics indicate support for the 7 and 20 LTE frequencies we need, which means this model will work in LTE networks our operators.
Also, it is worth noting that the device of this model is equipped with charger US standard, and in order to charge the device in Russia, you will need an adapter. Our company provides such an adapter free of charge to every customer.
2) iPhone 6 model A1586 (A1524)
This modification supports 20 bands (frequencies) of LTE (4G) networks: (frequencies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 38, 39, 40, 41), HSPA+ / UMTS / DC-HSDPA (800, 850, 900, 1800, 1900, 2100 MHz) and GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz).
The A1586 is sold primarily in Europe, which means it costs more than the A1549. As expected, the characteristics indicate full support for the LTE frequencies 7 and 20 we need, which suggests that this model will also work in the LTE networks of our operators (Megafon, MTS, Beeline).
The device of this model is equipped with a European standard charger, and in order to charge the device in Russia, you do not need an adapter. We recommend this modification for purchase.
Do not forget that all device modifications will work in Russia, Europe and other countries with any SIM card only if they have not been blocked by the operator (FreeSIM or NeverLock). Typically, blocked devices can be identified at an ultra-low price - their cost ranges from $10 to $200.
Conclusion:
Theoretically, the A1586 model is better, since it supports 20 frequencies, instead of 16 in the A1549 model, that is this model more versatile in terms of LTE. In practice, few people will notice any differences; both models will work in the LTE networks of our operators, so you can safely take the cheaper version of the A1549.

New generation of iPhone has been officially available and it comes in two versions this time, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Apart from considering between a 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch iPhone, consumers also have to deal with choosing among different models, including A1549, A1586, A1589, A1522, A1524 and A1593.
I see a lot of people buy iPhone 6 in the U.S. or on eBay with global shipping but many of those phones couldn’t work in their countries because there are some iPhone models manufactured for different wireless carriers and markets. They almost have the same tech specs but there are some differences in cellular connectivity. The situation is much better this year as the new iPhone 6/6 Plus features new VoLTE (Voice over LTE) technology, which means you can buy a GSM version and still can use a full range of services on CDMA networks. For example, you can buy a sim-free T-Mobile phone and completely avoid CDMA to use it on Verizon. Some carriers offering VoLTE are T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon in the US; Hutchinson Telecom (3), CSL and SmarTone in Hong Kong; SK Telecom, KT and LG U+ in South Korea and StarHub in Singapore.
As VoLTE hasn’t become popular worldwide yet, I’d recommend you to check carefully so that you can purchase the most compatible one. The model numbers of iPhones can easily be found on the box or on the back cover. The amount of iPhone 6’s model numbers is , then it is much easier for us to pick the right one. So, what are the differences between those iPhone models? Let's check them out.
The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 comes in 3 model numbers, which are iPhone A1549 (GSM), A1549 (CDMA) and A1586. Here are details of those models:
1. A1549 (GSM): This model is compatible with 4G LTE networks on some major carriers in the US and Canada like AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers (Fido).

3.A1524: The model is available via Sprint in the US and it is sold locked to the CDMA carrier. However, you can buy the unlocked iPhone 6 Plus in some countries in Asia and Europe like Singapore, Hong Kong, or Japan. It has a wide range of spectrum frequencies and technically it is compatible with any GSM or CDMA operator. However, the problem is that you won’t be able to buy the version easily in the US. If you want to buy the factory unlocked iPhone 6 Plus A1524 in the US, you can look for it on Amazon.
