After much speculation, Apple today revealed (9) the new version of the so acclaimed iPhone. In addition to "more of the same", some novelties have been implemented and the device design has undergone a reboot, which you check in the photos below.
The iPhone 6
The iPhone 6 announced today has a more rounded design and is thinner than any other version, just 6.9mm thick. The good news is that the side buttons follow the pattern of 5C, contrary to rumors that there would be new buttons in different shapes on the side of the device.
The new iPhone features 4.7′′ screen with 1334×750 pixel resolution, coated with resistant and backlit glass by LED. It comes equipped with processor A8 with 64-bit architecture and a motion coprocessor M8. The cameras have improved considerably, the rear has 8 megapixels and supports video recordings at 1080p (30 qps or 60 qps), slow motion videos and the possibility of taking photos while filming, while the front has 1.2 megapixels and video recording at 720p.
According to Apple, the iPhone Wi-Fi connection has been improved, allowing up to three times faster speed. Another good news is that iPhone 6 supports a 2600Mhz band, which is used in Brazil for 4G connections, that is, it is possible that we do not need to sell a specific version to Brazil, as currently happens.
The price, without contract, begins in US$ 649 in the 16 GB version. Unlike previous versions, we no longer have the 32 GB device, which gives place to the 64 GB and 128 GB.
No, the prices of all versions and the release date of iPhone 6 in Brazil have not yet been disclosed.
This may occur until mid-October.
The iPhone 6 Plus
You must be wondering, "What the hell is iPhone Plus?" I also wondered when I heard, but it's much simpler than it looks.
Exactly: The iPhone 6 Plus is a MAIOR version of the traditional iPhone. With a 5,5′′ display and 1920×1080 HD Retina resolution, the iPhone becomes the perfect Phablet (Phone+Tablet) for Apple fans.
According to Tim Cook (Apple President) "It's impossible to please the market with just one model small“.
iPhone 6 Plus has almost the same specifications as its smaller version, but with a battery of greater autonomy and apps with different layout when the device is in landscape mode.
The price? A hundred dollars more than the traditional iPhone 6. The iPhone 6 Plus also has the three special finishes and versions of 16, 64 and 128 GB.
Apple Pay
After so many rumors, Apple finally launched the payment system via iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch.
Apple Pay uses Near Field Communications (NFC) technology that allows secure information to be exchanged between compatible devices when they are nearby. Authentication is done via Touch ID (Digital Printing) and your card information is on the device, inside the Passbook and is encrypted locally.
According to Apple, Apple Pay generates a temporary number when making a transaction, not allowing the seller to have access to your card number or your name. You can also cancel the card registered on Passbook via the internet if you lose your device and do not need to cancel your physical card.
Apple Pay starts operations with 6 American banks and over 22,000 registered stores, including large retail networks. The flags supported so far are: American Express, MasterCard and Visa.
There is still no information on when this technology will arrive in Brazil.
