Its been more than two months since I have been using this phone and now I can provide a detailed description of this phone.
I have divided this review into 5 segments which for most should cover the aspects about buying a new smartphone.
1) Design/Build Quality-I have to say Apple gets the credit here. This device is a sheer engineering masterpiece. From its smooth corners to its rounded edges there's just one complete continuous surface which makes it a joy to hold.
And that 129g gets so evenly distributed over the palm that it just feels lighter than anything. Though I have to mention here that it's a bit slippery to hold. The sturdy construction combined with choice of materials makes it the best looking phone In the market.2) Specs/Perfomance-For those spec enthusiasts out there it might feel quite low and unsatisfying considering the hefty amount tag it carries.But trust me even with 1 gig of ram combined with A8 processor this smartphone performs like no other. There are only a few phones out there that match its level of sustained performance throughout from opening multiple apps to playing graphic intense games. And in the end specs don't matter its the performance that counts which is really excellent.
3) Camera-The 8 megapixel iSight shooter seems too little compared to some of those of androids. Shots taken in good lighting conditions are just great and a lot detailed. But when it comes to low light conditions the camera is left behind in the competition. Zoomed in photos in low light are a little disappointing at such price point.
The front camera is just fine for selfies. The slow mo is at 240fps is an interim ting feature. Overall the camera is good but could have been improved a little.
4) Operating System- IOS 8 just almost same as iOS 7 with a minor changes including health app and it works well and is lag free. The App Store provides all necessary apps for free and the quality of apps is better than that of the android. The only niggle here is that many of the apps aren't customised for larger screen and they kinda look unpleasant to eyes compared to the others.
5) Battery-This is the part where the iPhone 6 is lacking. This is a sort of consequence of that thin design. A battery of 1810mAh isn't completely powerful enough to make it last more than a day. By the time you are at bed you have to plug in the charger.A moderate to heavy usage including browsing safari checking mails using whatsapp Facebook listening to some music will drain the battery before night and if a lot of gaming is being done then don't expect much.
This phone is undoubtedly one of the best phones in the market at this time. Some areas like the camera and battery should have been better but seeing the android market in 2014 and the overall performance it delivers I should say its tough to point a phone better than it.
