The presentation of iPhone 6 and the 6 iPhone Plus have already been produced. With it, speculation and rumors have ended, and we have most likely seen how in the end Apple can not stop the desire of its public to know everything ahead of time, since many of these leaks ended up becoming a reality. However, now that the release date, price and all the specifications of both iPhone 6 phones are a fact, the key question is whether it is worth upgrading to this terminal from a previous iPhone. And that's what we do in this article today.
In which we present below as the 7 reasons why it is worth updating to iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, we analyze the main differences they have with respect to the previous terminals, and although everything will depend on the use that you are going to give it , and the need you have to see how the new phone is in your hands, I think you can realize that in some cases, the model of the phone you have is going to become obsolete, and in others, you can live without the features offered by the new iPhone. Shall we go to see them one by one?
7 reasons why it pays to upgrade to iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus
- Screen sizeWe have been saying for a long time that we want a bigger screen. Apple has given in on its philosophy and it has. Both in the case of the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, the jump to 4,7 inches and 5,5 inches has been important. In that sense, neither iPhone 5s, nor iPhone 5c, nor the previous iPhone 4s and iPhone 4 can compete.
- Camera: an improvement of the sensors was also another of the wishes of the users, and although the 8MP have been maintained, Apple has also yielded in this regard. Both in the case of the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus there is a great difference in terms of the images that can be captured with respect to their predecessors iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, and iPhone 4s and iPhone 4.
- LTE & WiFiAlthough both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus considerably improve the compatibility with both networks, and in the case of the larger one, VoLTE is added, I do not think it is something relevant for all users. In fact, many don't even have these data plans. It would only be a reason to change iPhone if you really have it active and take advantage of it.
- Chip A8: it is the evolution of Apple in a 20nm processor. 25% faster on the CPU, 50% faster on the GPU and 50% more efficient are going to make a difference. It is clear that everything will be much more fluid, but it is also true that not all users attach so much importance to this aspect.
- Battery: the improvement in autonomy was another of the massive requests made by users. In this case Apple made small changes in the case of the iPhone 6, and made a big leap in the case of the iPhone 6 Plus. I think this feature is one of those that makes the change worthwhile.
- Storage: This is a somewhat strange strategy. The new iPhone in any of its models costs more. And if we buy the first version, the one that offers only 16GB, we will notice that difference; but if we go to the upper one, disappearing the 32GB and being replaced by 64GB it may compensate for the intermediate range. In this case, Apple's decision seems right to us.
- Apple Pay: the new Apple payment system will only be compatible with the new iPhone 6 terminals. In case you want it to be compatible with another of the above, you will need the Apple Watch.
What we "want" the big screen…. that of the iphone 5 was already enough, if I want something bigger I get an ipad
Totally agree with you.
with an ipad you don't make calls….
before the bricks were the android ,,,, now what?
Strongly agree, I prefer to move to the iPad Mini
Apple fan boys do not need more than one reason to change their cell phone, which has the logo of a apple on the back.
I do not see anything more absurd, than entering a forum of a specific brand and model and come to disparage and say this nonsense.
In addition to the apple, an Iphone offers much more virtues than a simple logo or that Status that today anyone can have.
If you are so happy with the android or with Windows Phone… .. What the hell are you getting in here?
The more I see antiapple barking, the more I am happy to buy this phone.
regards
so that you bark if you gave him the reason. fanboy you had to be hahaha !!!
You are absolutely right, since that apple brings with it a very great connotation, perfect software-hardware integration, which unfortunately cannot be sustained with the android attached to the brand of the manufacturer you want. Don't spit it up that falls on your face.
I am increasingly disappointed by Apple ... And I have had the 3G, 4, I have the 5 and the iPad 2 3G ...
For the first time, definitely, I begin to consider other brands as an alternative
I'm just like your partner
Well, I did want a bigger screen and I had an iPad but I didn't want to go with 2 devices so I changed and I got a note but I had to go back because I don't like Android and Samsung gave me very bad after-sales service but the truth is that I miss a bigger screen and I'm sure I'll get the 6 plus. I think that we all cannot like the same thing and we must respect the tastes of others also if things are done well as Apple is used to, they should give the opportunity to choose and now they have done so
The storage strategy is not at all strange. Several brands already did it and its purpose is simply to remove the peels from the user. If the lower section were 32 GB instead of 16, many people would not consider making the jump to 64 GB for € 100. While this way, nobody considers buying the 16 Gb if for € 100 more they have 64 (the more storage with price increases, the greater the profit margin for the company).
Virtually all of the reasons given are very narrow-minded. I will wait to hold it in my hands and touch it to see what sensations it gives me, but at first I think it is the iPhone that has the least innovation and it is a bit like more of the same but better, and I think it is the first time that Apple has been overtaken by the competition, a shame.
2 reasons not to buy it: 6 ″ iPhone 4,7s next year:
2gb of RAM, full hd screen, of course they don't put it this year to ensure sales with the s .. They already did it with the ipaf mini and they will do it with the 6s next year. The reason for an iwatch is because the iPhone has long been outmatched by the competition. zero innovation. All that it presents is a rehash of the improved 5s and technology that android has been mounting for 2/3 years .. Of course it now has nfc and pay pay. and how could it be otherwise. it is not a standardized model. only compatible with apple, iPhone and iwatch. That it will be successful and in use even more. but I doubt that in Europe it will be successful, when the European economy is based on small and medium-sized companies. really a medium-sized company will buy the device so that people pay with their iPhone? DO NOT. anyway .. Apple has been hitting hard lately
Outperformed by the competition? Technology from two years ago? How do you not know the innovations that the processor has, and the management of the system? That is technology that android does not have from its origin… What is the use of having 4737362874746372 cores or 16547381937463718271 gb of ram if android It is not even capable of exploiting that hardware ... And with respect to innovation, surely you expect your phone to come walking or talk to you and become your virtual girlfriend ... Or a 3756382929 MP camera so you can take selfies like crazy ... Innovation is in the small details and not in huge figures or benchmarks that are manipulated by manufacturers ...
I have a 5gb 32s and it doesn't occur to me to change a phone that is going great and that has just turned 1 year for another for which the only thing that calls me is the size of its screen. This year I happened to change and I look forward to next year that I'm sure I'm going to notice the difference more. I already had a Note 2 and it is really uncomfortable to carry in your pocket.
Well, those reasons are not enough for me. I would buy the iphone 6 if it were more 5s style. The slight improvements they have made do not make this mobile something new. Points against, that not all models in 4,7 ″ have sapphire, bad, only the plus has stabilized optics, bad, the resolution of the 6 could be HD, the RAM no matter how good it goes now, in two years open problems with the OS, as it happened in the 3gs and 4 to the jump of iOS 6/7 (iOS 8 does not transfer it to iphone 4 because of RAM, be clear, and if they had put 1Gb instead of 512Mb, nowadays I would still be alive and with another year to live). The prices are used to us, sincerely, I have never bought a free iPhone from Apple, only iPod, I will wait for my operator to make me an offer, and if not, until 6s.
The iphone 4s also has 512 Mb of ram and will receive iOS8…., If iOS8 does not reach 4 it is because it was (in terms of performance) the worst phone that apple has released .. and by far, when I had it it only worked smoothly When I took it out of the box, with the first update it already started to jerk ..
Yes, it is also because it is mono core. They also said that for siri, and I had it installed and working perfectly ...
iPhone4 to jerks? Now that I have been with it for 4 years, obviously with the current wasap, FB, etc. apps it is slow, but so far great. And that I had with JB and the memory is full almost all the time. Now I sanitize myself (remove JB and clear memory) before moving to 6 and it goes even more fluid. Really, in my experience, very fluent.
But ... Who cares how fluid it is for you or not? Who do you represent to say that "The rest" must ...? Install GTA… How old are you? fifteen? (This point would clarify why so many spelling mistakes) ... My sister, wife and myself must be other "special" because 15 years ago our mobile has been FLUID ... AT 4 ¡¡¡In my case with Jail ... and a few months ago without him… That is… We don't spend 3 hours playing… that's what it takes to be adults
You might as well have the wrong device. With what do you call, send messages, read the mail, etc? With the Play Station? My wife has an Iphone 4 and my son another and I don't see that they have fluency problems.
You are also talking about a phone that is already 4 years old and has already come out after the 4s, the 5, the 5s and the 6. I think that it still fulfills its mission more than enough.
In response to: What do you call, send messages, read mail, etc?
If for this you need a € 600 mobile with the latest technology, we are going wrong. I did that with my N80 and it has been 5 years since I discarded it. A minimum of criteria.
Do you play play when you are away from home? No, that's what you have the PSP for. Well, I have a mobile, and if you do not realize that portable consoles have their days numbered ... We will have to think about making a gamer mobile ...
Well, I'm 29, and I love playing on any platform and I've been playing since pfff…. I repeat it again, so why is parallax disabled? So that the mobile weighs less, no! Despite whoever thinks games are what require resources, or do you need a dual core 64btis to send whatsapp? Really iZombies are so heavy ...
I pass your matured through the lining of the eggs, boy. If instead of criticizing me, you would be objective, you would really show your maturity that you boast so much about.
I said, if you think yourself special, the rest of the planet does not work as you say. Search in google, it's simple, no, at your age you will understand?
And I do not put accents for not wasting more time on this blog. If you want, take exams for the RAE, and review the articles on this website.
I really don't like the model if they gave it to me without having seen the presentation I would think it was any brand except an iphone I think stive would not get it approved I am apple fans do not disappoint all fans
Hola!
Well, I, an iPhone 5 user, IF I'm going to make the leap to iPhone 6, I imagine 6 Plus. For the difference in price, better features and a larger screen. My eyes will appreciate it, my pocket not so much I guess. I want to wait to see them physically and what I also have clear is that this time I take it free. Nothing of paying big bucks to companies for very good deals, we believe they are making us. If we think about the next S models and their respective best, in technology we would never change the terminal waiting for the next one. I think that from 5 to 6 or 6 plus I'm going to notice a difference. At least as far as the design and dimensions are concerned. Greetings!
Completely agree with you. I am in the same situation, I have an iPhone 5 and I want to buy an iPhone 6 4,7 ″ 64GB since I have been waiting for a larger screen for a long time, although the plus one is already too big for the use that I am going to give. I also want to see them physically in the store, I will surely go the day after I leave and see what I do. About financing a mobile phone like the iPhone with a telephone operator or even thinking about it, I went from being tied down for 2 years when you end up paying more even if it does not seem like it because one thing is that the price of the mobile is cheaper and another than the rate that you "Force" to fuck is to your liking and really take advantage of what you pay for it because if not, in the end you are paying more. In my case I practically do not make calls and what I am not going to do is take a rate with unlimited calls that costs me 30-40 euros a month so that the mobile is cheaper and then make two calls a month. Greetings.
I made the change for my iPhone 5S of 16G for the 6 of 128G, since the 6 plus seems very good but at the same time very cumbersome due to its large screen size, it does not fit in the pocket and more visible to the owners of others, I made the decision for the 6 of 128G to buy and download the applications that I have sacrificed to remove from my phone to install others, it was a bit expensive but it was worth it, that money that I invest makes me satisfaction and enthusiasm with my day to day work.
I have also considered changing the brand and I tell you the truth ... I have tried Samsung S5 and Sony Xperia Z2 ... and say that nothing like the iPhone! and it is not that it is Fanboy, after trying both, the fluidity, the comfort of everything always lacks ... and above all that it never makes you feel ... «This application has stopped». Seriously they will not innovate in design that I like but as hardware and OS it is the best!
As for stability, very good iOS, but in terms of versatility and nonsense such as the third-party keyboard (which thank God they now incorporate) or for example, changing the order or even putting more "shortcuts" in the control center does not allow. What I hate the most about iOS is the issue of sharing to other apps. On android it lets you share any app but on iOS only a few and that bothers a lot on the subject of social networks.
The impossibility of poenr the random icons (forced order, that is, all pasted without leaving gaps instead of placing them, for example, in a column or in the lower margin). IOS lacks customization and I hope Apple continues to give in.
I am amused by the silly battle between supporters of one software and another. Each one has different tastes and you don't have to wonder which one is better. I have been using an iPhone for 4 years and recently I have acquired a Note 3. Each system has its qualities and defects. Dr Android I can say that it is much more versatile, especially when it comes to sharing content, but in terms of stability and fluidity, iOS sr leads to street android. As for the camera last night I could see how in the dark, the camera of an iPhone 5 made that of my note ridiculous, having 5mp more. With total security I will return to iPhone, without underestimating android at all, because as I said, it depends on taste.
I have currently in use and since an iPhone 4 came out, and I have not changed it due to lack of resources, but because I have not had any problem with it and no repair has been required and it works 100%, without complaints , but I think it is time to switch to the iPhone 6, with more memory, and I definitely have NO intention of acquiring the iPhone 6plus, I do not like that, I better use the iPad mini. Regarding the Apple Watch, it is not something that I have in mind to buy at the moment, however, I do not rule it out for the future, everything will be in relation to the utility that can be given to it. They are products of very good quality, durable with normal care, they do not fade or deteriorate easily, even though it is the iPhone4, it is updated to the latest version before IOS 8, that is, they are phones that remain valid even with the new updates of the various applications, this is definitely a guarantee that only apple gives you so far, Greetings from Mexico
The seven reasons that you state are not important in my country, unfortunately here there is neither LTE nor will there be Apple Pay, in relation to the screen the 5s is enough, if I want more I switch to the iPad Mini or my iPad Air, with This same issue, what will happen is that the iPad Mini will have the tendency to disappear at one point and another, in relation to the Camera, it did not vary much more than simply in sensors, which in the same way the 5s is a very good camera, with the storage issue has a lot to do for you to use it; On the subject of the A8 chip it is possibly a good reason to switch to a faster iPhone; The only element that I miss is the battery and its performance, however, the one in the 5s is not bad, it does not have the performance of the new one but it is quite acceptable.
In conclusion, of the seven reasons I am left with only one, in my country, for me it is not worth changing right now, also we already know what will happen in a year, the new iPhone 6S is coming or whatever you want to call it, besides that it is physically hideous their design is looking like a Galaxy, they totally lost their inspiration and are going commercial.
With this I am not saying that when I have to change my iPhone 5s I will not do it for a Galaxy, or some other, I remain faithful to the brand and the iPhone, but if they are critical in relation to design, I am not dying to change it, as When I change all the others, this will be the exception to my credit I will not have iPhone 6 or 6+ I prefer the 6S 6S + or whatever they want to call it, besides that the advantages that it may have for me do not serve me in my country (unfortunately)
Simply embarrassing…. I've been following this website for 4 years and I remember each of your old arguments very well. I love seeing this "we wanted bigger screens." During these years you have not done more than say that the small screens because they can be used with one hand ... And now you come with these ...
I keep coming in here I think more than for information, for masochism. To those of you who are going to criticize me, don't worry, the one who changes me to android, you will not see me anymore in these parts.
Those who do not want large screens, who stay with the current iPhone, no one forces them to buy this device, stop complaining, there is an iPhone for all tastes or there are even other "brands" which can adapt to your needs. If you really want to buy another device, you are within your rights, you own your own money, so spend it as you please .. Greetings!
Very well said, I think your comment sums it up. I totally agree.
User of iphone 3, 4 and 5, ipad 2 and mini, I know iOS and iPhones very well, I have been a great big fan of Apple (and I still am), the iPhone 5 was too small for me and I changed for a Lumia 1520 (fewer apps, but I don't choose a smartphone because it has candy crush, and MS is getting very batteries with WP) and I was looking forward to seeing the KeyNote to see the great Apple bet and I promise you that I will stay as I was , In design …. I keep an HTC One and I have the rest of the things. I am one of those who wanted a bigger screen on iPhone, but I think they have not done anything relevant for me to buy it and less at those exorbitant prices, € 900 iPhone 6 Plus 64 Gb (wow).
I make it clear that this is only my opinion, a part of my insurance that I envy those who buy it, but being objective with myself… I will keep waiting.
Great!
Very soon I will have the iPhone 6 but preferably the iPhone 6 Plus.
I better wait for the Galaxy 6 the new gayphone did not meet expectations
nexus 6 best option 🙂
Try android and then rate. It was better for me personally.
Hi there. I have the iPhone 5s and I am going to change to the iPhone 6 because it seems better to me in everything. Of course, the 6s will be better and the 7 tb and so on ... If we are thinking about that, we are going wrong and what goes ahead goes ahead and I can't stand another year until the 6s comes out. If some of you criticize so much, I don't know why you waste your time entering this forum ...
DO YOU WANT TO GET THE NEW IPHONE6?
