The long awaited Apple iPhone 6 has finally arrived and has given us a chance to look at it closely. The phone for some has exceeded expectations and for some it never even came close to the expectations. But before you make a decision either in favor or disservice of the Apple iPhone 6, we would like you to take a detailed tour of the phone.
Introduction
The beauty of the Apple iPhone 6 is it is not only bigger but better. And by better we not only mean the external beauty of it, but also the internal power that channels through the Apple iPhone 6. The phone is expected to be more powerful yet more power efficient than its predecessor. The design has changed from a much metallic feel to a matte smooth metal feel.

The box of the Apple iPhone 6 comes up with the following accessories.
- iPhone

Body
The body of the Apple iPhone 6 has changed dramatically. The size, shape, feel – about everything that was once was, has seized to exist. The height, width, depth and weight of the phone is mentioned as under.
Height: 5.44 inches (138.1 mm)
Width: 2.64 inches (67.0 mm)
Depth: 0.27 inch (6.9mm)
Weight: 4.55 ounces (129 grams)
Design
The Apple iPhone 6 has been made by scrutinizing every element and material. That’s how the phone has a smooth and continuous form. The buttons are well placed and have been made my anodized aluminum, stainless steel, and glass.
The feel of the hand is very good as the cover glass curves down around the sides to meet the anodized aluminum enclosure in a remarkable, simplified design. There are no hardened edges and no gaps.
Designing the Apple iPhone 6 would not have been easy. As making a bigger phone with the same “small” is no joke. It meant that every circuit and component was made smaller yet more capable to withstand the upcoming wind of technological upgrades. As the phone narrowed down, so did the battery.
Display
The size of the new, higher-resolution is what you might only notice but there is so much more than that. The screen is not only bigger but delivers higher contrast, dual-domain pixels for more accurate color at wider viewing angles and an improved polarizer.

Resolution: 1334 x 750
Pixels per Inch: 326

The A8 processor is not only powerful but also power efficient so that you can play graphics-intensive or enjoy video at higher frame rates for longer than ever.
