Hi everyone.
Muwen360 here doing with special video and that’s right I am unboxing the brand new
Apple iPhone 6.
It was announced earlier this month but today it’s finally available to the general public
for purchase.
And right now unless you were the first ones to pre-order it, it might be a little tough
to get your hands on one of these due to the overwhelming demand but you can always go
to you your local Apple Store and see if they have spare units available which is what I
did so thankfully since the area in which I live in Connecticut is not that big, so
I was able to secure a unit relatively quick.
The one I have here is the contract-free model of the iPhone 6 which retails for 649, and
of course it’s also available through nationwide carriers on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint for $199
with a two year-agreement and I am speaking in terms of US Dollars so pretty standard
pricing scheme.
You can also get the 6 in three different color options.
Space grey, silver and also Gold and I believe this one is the gold version and we’ll verify
that claim when we open the box.
Also, you can buy this in three different storage capacities, configurations, 16 gigs
to start and the will increase $100 when you to 64gigs, and all the way up to 128gigs of
storage which is pretty amazing.
So that’s kind of a quick rundown of the pricing if you’re looking into this.
So this is the packaging for the iPhone 6.
Kind of your typical Apple style box with the all white color scheme.
And I was kind of surprised that there is not a photo of the phone on the front here
so that’s pretty weird and also on the sides of the box we simply have the word "iPhone"
written with the Apple Logo and I was kind of expecting it to specify that it’s the
"iPhone 6" instead of just writing "iPhone" but I guess that’s how they’re doing this
time.
Buy anyways, On the back we have some brief information about the device which I’ll
talk about as well, and also just some technical information about the phone located towards
the bottom of the box.
So enough talking, let me first rip off this plastic wrap that's covering the box.
Here we go.
Now let me just separate the top from the bottom.
And there you go.
This is the Apple iPhone 6.
Let's get this phone out.
So this is the iPhone 6, the Gold version so I was right.
It feels nice in the hand, Pretty thin and light now but I'll set this to the side for
now and take a look at what else we receive in the box.
So let's pull this tab.
This is just a carton for the phone.
This is the information and the paperwork.
So we get a iPhone 6 quick start guide sort of.
iPhone info and also two Apple stickers.
And then we get the wall charger, USB wall charger.
The lightning USB cable and the lightning to USB cable and also the Apple EarPods for
your music needs.
So that's really all we get inside the box.
So now let’s bring over the iPhone 6 itself and first of all it feels really good hold
and it feels extremely solid as well.
It’s made of mostly metal of course and the build quality is absolutely phenomenal.
The front glass and the back metal has this smooth texture that makes it comfortable to
hold.
The front glass as you can see, folds slightly around the edges so I guess the sharp hard
edges found on previous iPhones are gone.
It also feels much thinner than before so that’s also really nice.
But Personally, I prefer the hard sharp edges, found on the iPhone 5S for example because
I liked how the hard edges provided me with a better grip of the phone so I can have a
sturdy of it.
But I don’t hate the new design on the 6, I just think the hard edges were better at
least for me.
The iPhone is also much bigger in terms of size.
It now sports a 4.7 inch screen increased from the 4 inch screen size we’ve seen for
the last severl years.
And I think 4.7 inches is a great size for phones it’s kind of that middle ground if
you will, between 4.5 inches which is on the smaller side and the 5 inches that's on the
bigger side.
Especially at 4.7 inches, it’s very portable and also you can easily use it with just one
hand and it’s also a decent size for content consumption like watching videos for example.
Whereas with 4.5 inches it’s portable, yes but a little bit on the smaller side for enjoying
videos for example and whereas with 5 inches yes, it’s a nice big display to watch all
the videos you want, but you kind of sacrifice that portability.
So 4.7 inches is a great form factor.
And also the display is now referred to as a Retina HD display.
It’s got a resolution of 1334 by 750 with a pixel density at 326 pixels per inch so
not quite 1080P HD but still pretty good.
Around the device, starting with the left side, we have the ring/silent switch, volume
up and down keys, nothing up top.
On the right, we have the on, off, sleep, and wake button as well as the sim card tray.
At the bottom, 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, microphone hole.
Lightning connector, and also the speakers.
1.2 megapixel Facetime camera with 720p HD video recording, the ambient light sensor,
and also the earpiece.
Towards the bottom.
we have the home button which also doubles up as the Touch ID sensor.
8 megapixel iSight camera on the back with 1080p HD video recording capabilities at 30
or 60 frames per second.
Something to mention is the new iSight camera has this bulge so it’s kind of protruding
outwards.
But next to that we have another microphone and the LED flash.
So now let's go ahead and actually power on the device.
There you go, it's powering up the Apple logo.
