Hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with a video going over everything you need
to know about the iPhone 6.
I recently spent some time out in LA taking a look at mockups of the iPhone 6 along with
the new sapphire display. If these leaks are true then come September we're going to be
looking at the biggest iPhone ever. Take a look at the current iPhone 5s and we've got
a squared off build that hasn't changed that much since the iPhone 4 all the way back in
2010. For the new design Apple has taken a lot of inspiration from the iPod touch with
a smooth, tapered edge that has a very nice feel in the hand. Something that's really
impressive is just how thin the phone is, I hardly thought the 5s felt chunky but the
6 is even better. This first mockup is also sporting a much larger display at 4.7 inches,
bringing it right in line with other phones like the Moto X and Nexus 5. Not only will
it get bigger but Apple will also likely bump the resolution to 1704 by 960, just short
of 1080p but still more than detailed enough to be a big improvement over the current iPhone.
However that's not the only thing that's going to be new with the iPhone 6 screen. Right
now Apple uses sapphire glass for the home button and camera lens on the 5s however my
friend Marques Brownlee got his hands on the full sapphire crystal display for the iPhone
6. First thing I did was look through it and look how clear it was which was pretty cool,
I'm not sure if Gorilla Glass is that clear too. But I took a knife to it, I took some
keys to it and then I bent it under my own foot, under my own power I tried as hard as
I could to shatter it which was probably a bad idea if I actually shattered it, it probably
would have hurt a lot but yeah I tried to bend it quite a bit and that is where the
first video ended. So of course we had to find out how much abuse the screen could actually
take so with the help of Joe Rogan we put it to the test and you guys can find that
video in the link in the description. It's safe to say though that the screen is going
to be a lot tougher than on your current phone. There are also a lot of rumors that there
will be an even bigger 5.5 inch iPhone 6. Based on the mockup it's very similar to the
4.7 inch model however we might not be seeing it quite as soon as you would expect. They
milked the 3.5 for longer than they should have, they milked the 4 for longer than they
should have, why are they not going to put a 4.7 out, milk that this year and all of
a sudden 2015 comes, here's the latest and greatest 5.5. I think there's a sweet spot
to be had, I've talked about this in previous videos, and the 4.7 for me is really, that's
the sweet spot as far as I'm concerned. I still like a smaller display, the Moto X has
a 4.7 inch display, love the way that that size is in the hand. Right now it seems like
the 5.5 inch iPhone 6 will be at least a few months behind the 4.7 inch version but besides
the screen size what's the difference? One of the advantages to the bigger display is
more space for a larger battery. Many of the rumors are suggesting that the 4.7 inch iPhone
6 will have an 1810 milliampere-hour battery, a bit bigger than the current 5s but a lot
smaller than what you might be able to find in the 5.5 inch version. The bigger battery
for the 4.7 inch model is a nice improvement but since it's powering a bigger display the
difference isn't that big of a deal. What could help battery life a lot though is the
new Apple A8. The A7 system on a chip from the current iPhone is seriously impressive
so for the next generation Apple likely will focus on improving battery life with a new
20 nanometer process while pushing more on the graphics side for performance. Unfortunately
one thing that could be a problem is the iPhone 6 camera. Odds are we'll see some minor improvements
but if the mockups are correct the lens will also protrude from the back of the phone.
Apple did the same thing with the iPod touch and while throwing a case on it should fix
the problem having a lens poking out of the back of the phone all the time is a pretty
major problem to me. So what do you guys think about the iPhone 6? Are you excited for the
4.7 inch, the 5.5 inch version or do you just not care at all? Definitely be sure to let
me know in the comments below! Also don't forget to check out all of the other videos
that we did on the iPhone 6, so we shot the display with a freaking arrow so if you guys
want to check that out, you can see the behind the scenes, all of the fun stuff that we did
this weekend, the link will be in the description of this video so check out all of the videos
and enjoy the extreme consumer durability testing. Because, you know, scratch tests,
drop tests, yeah but shooting with an arrow something I do with my phones all the time.
Anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one.
