iPhone 6 Plus, cake and iPhone 5s

It is noteworthy that during the disassembly process, a gray iPhone 6 and a golden iPhone 6 Plus were used - exactly the same colors and models as in the recent smartphone test. It's a good thing iFixit was able to get their hands on the 5.5-inch iPhone, because word is that it will be as rare as the gold iPhone 5s was last year. But let's leave the lyrics aside and proceed to the autopsy.

To be first in its business, iFixit had to purchase smartphones in Australia, the first country where sales began. This is also where the first smartphone fell from one’s hands, but that’s another story.

The design of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, as noted by iFixit, is very reminiscent of the very first iPhone, also known as 2G. Model numbers A1586 And A1524 respectively. The camera does protrude, but measurements show only 0.6 mm - not much at all. As before, to open the case, you will need to unscrew two non-standard screws on the bottom end of the device, and then disconnect the display from the rest of the device. Only one cable at the top of the iPhone will completely prevent this from happening. There is no longer a cable from Touch ID to Lightning, which made disassembling the iPhone 5s difficult. By the way, all the parts inside are already screwed with standard screws.

The internal layout of the parts is similar, except that many components have expanded a little in width and become thinner. As we know thanks to spy shots, the earpiece and front-camera are now placed on one loop. So far everything is working out like clockwork.

Let's look at the batteries. In the iPhone 6, the battery has a capacity of 1810 mAh and a voltage of 3.82 V. It is noteworthy that different power levels are indicated on different sides. From one it is 6.91 W/h, and from the reverse it is already 7.01 W/h. The truth is somewhere near. The tablet phone uses a 2915 mAh, 3.82 V and 11.1 Wh battery. The iPhone 5s had a battery capacity of 1560 mAh. The batteries in Apple smartphones are still lithium-ion.

iPhone 6 Plus

The vibration motor in the iPhone 6 Plus has moved and is now located to the right of the battery; in the iPhone 6 its location remains unchanged. The camera module can be removed easily and effortlessly using tweezers. The changes are known. These are new 8-megapixel modules. iPhone 6 Plus has optical stabilization images, in the iPhone 6 it is successfully replaced by electronics. Next, iFixit specialists remove the antennas to gain access to the motherboards of the smartphones.

So, the iPhone 6 has a system on the A8 chip labeled APL1011. The board was found to have LPDDR 3 RAM manufactured by Hynix with a capacity of 1 GB - no miracle happened. LTE modem made by Qualcomm. Microcircuits manufactured by SkyWorks, Avago, and RF Micro Devices are also used. The gyroscope is made by InvenSense. On the reverse side we found flash memory manufactured by SanDisk. IN this copy 128 GB memory. The M8 coprocessor and NFC chip with Secure Element module were manufactured by NXP. The iPhone 6 uses the Cirrus Logic 338S1201 audio codec.

On iPhone 6 Plus motherboard differs slightly, but has exactly the same modules as in the iPhone 6. Accordingly, the performance of smartphones will also be absolutely identical. Apparently, the A8 processor does not care what display resolution it works with.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus received slightly modified speakers that are devoid of any markings. But now you can replace the speaker separately from other parts - this is a plus. Again, confirming the spy shots of the components, Apple placed the Lightning connector and headphone jack in one module on one cable. Also, the volume buttons and the Power button are a single part. They are connected by a fairly thin cable.

Contrary to rumors, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus did not receive protection against moisture. However, under the Power button and volume buttons there is a rubber gasket that prevents accidental splashes or debris from entering the case. This is a step forward, but getting caught in the rain with a new smartphone in your hands is still not worth it.

iPhone 6 Plus

Both new smartphones received 7 points out of 10 on the maintainability scale. This is a point more than the iPhone 5s had last year. iFixit noted that it is still quite easy to separate the display, quickly change the battery, and there is no longer a cable from Touch ID to Lightning, which could easily be damaged when opening the case. There is only one disadvantage listed - the use of non-standard screws in the case. This is perhaps not the most serious problem.

By the way, all iFixit instructions for complete disassembly

Friends, many of you are often interested and ask what the iPhone consists of? And today we decided to take a closer look at what it consists of. This time we will talk about the iPhone 5, although iPhones have a slightly different structure, many details are passed down from generation to generation, slightly changing.

Model Apple iPhone 6S entered the market not so long ago - a little over 2 years ago, but has already managed to win the interest of many lovers of Apple gadgets. Smartphone iPhone version 6S appearance not much different from the previous sixth model. Although this is to be expected: usually new iPhone from Apple, which has the prefix “S” or “PLUS” in its name, simply includes new functions (or improved old ones).

Is it worth buying an iPhone 6S and also full review iPhone 6 version S – discussed below.

The peculiarities of the iPhone 6S lie in its technical characteristics, which have changed somewhat compared to previous versions of Apple smartphones. Short description The review of the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S models revealed the following main characteristics:

• iPhone 6S model year of manufacture – 2014 iPhone 6s chips.
• Processor - Apple A9, 2 cores, 2 GHz.
• RAM in the iPhone 6S - 2 GB RAM, 16/64/128 GB of memory to suit the user's needs.
• Display (diagonal and resolution) - 4.7″, 1334×750 pixels, 326 pixels/inch.
• Camera: 2 MP + 5 MP.
• Features and Specials iPhone capabilities 6S- Touch ID 2.0, 3D Touch, 4K video recording.
• iPhone 6S weight - 143 grams.

So, from the above characteristics it is clear that the Apple iPhone 6S is a rather miniature smartphone model, especially considering its functionality. The iPhone 6S gadget and its weight and thickness do not frighten you with its dimensions. By the way, the thickness of the new phone is just over 6.7 mm. Considering how much the Apple iPhone 6S weighs, as well as its dimensions, we can say that this gadget is not heavy, but quite neat.

Mobile apple phone The iPhone - and what the 6S version looks like - is shown below.

Whether it is worth buying an iPhone 6S, taking into account the above-mentioned characteristics and the appearance of this gadget, each user must decide for himself - depending on which functions of the smartphone are most important to him.

Has the iPhone 6S changed, and is it the right gadget?

Many stores in the Russian Federation have already started selling Apple iPhone 6S, positioning this model as profitable phone, which has improved functionality compared to other versions. What are the features of the new iPhone and whether it is worth taking the 6S version is analyzed further.

Inspecting the appearance of the gadget, you will notice that the camera in the Apple iPhone 6S, as before, protrudes slightly on the surface. The antenna strips are also preserved in the same place.

As for drastic changes, take at least the new color of the six, defined by the manufacturer as “rose gold”. Indeed, it is a deep and rich shade of pink that borders on yellow. It is not pretentious or acidic, but noble and restrained. This smartphone model should be on par with the most the best gadgets, because probably many consumers will consider it the best and will definitely purchase it. Moreover, the spectacular appearance of the gadget comes with rich iPhone features and the presence of powerful cores in 6S.

Quantity iPhone sales 6S in Russia, despite the crisis, is continuously growing. The growth of iPhone 6S sales in our country is facilitated by the following: specifications iPhone 6S versions like:

• Powerful processor.
• A large number of random access memory in iPhone
• The presence of 2 cores.
• Such a parameter, so small dimensions.

The instructions for the gadget of the six S model say that it is made of high-quality new material - seven-thousand-series aluminum. This material is more durable and helps preserve the smartphone body in case of minor mechanical damage. Thanks to this, the glass elements of the phone have also become more resistant to shocks and falls.

The Touch ID scanner is as fast and convenient as possible – another important advantage of the Six S, which allowed the smartphone to successfully launch in Russia and generate great consumer demand. After all, thanks to this technology, it has become possible to instantly pay for purchases in stores. Number of sales smart gadget iPhone 6S in Russia is growing steadily every month.

Processor and core of iPhone six version S

The processor in this version of the iPhone is more powerful than in earlier versions, and its speed is increased by 70% compared to the usual six gadgets from Apple. Concerning GPU– its operating speed is increased almost 2 times – by 90%. This allows avid gamers to get a unique gaming experience, because applications and mobile games in the S version respond instantly.

The increased power of RAM and cores also allows you to enjoy complex games to the maximum. Regarding the cores, let us remind you that in the improved version of the six there are 2 of them, which means that the functionality of the gadget has increased significantly.

The gadget contains wireless connections, namely, 4G LTE Advanced networks and 23 LTE bands. According to reviews from many users, problems with the iPhone version 6S practically do not arise when downloading various applications from the Internet. Everything happens quite quickly and without interference.

The operating system, as shown by the experience of the very first users of the iPhone Six S model, who managed to evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages of the gadget, works much better than in previous versions smartphones from Apple. We are talking about operating system iOS 9, but updated to version 9.0.1.

iPhone 6s chips

Of course, all of the above advantages of the Six S over older versions of iPhones are important, but the most important feature of this gadget model. According to numerous user reviews, this is still 3D Touch technology, which opens up many possibilities for users.

Reference. 3D Touch is a screen substrate technology that allows the iPhone to recognize the power of pressing and its duration, as well as the force of pressure on the display.

What does 3D Touch technology give to a real user:

• Move between two simultaneously running applications.
• Working in live photographs.
• Quickly view mail, individual letters, archive and delete letters.
• Ability to customize the function to your own pressing force through the corresponding menu.

What changes has the iPhone 6S camera undergone?

Speaking about the main camera of the gadget, it should be noted that its superiority over earlier versions is immediately evident, because Almost everything has improved - optics, resolution, matrix. Photography enthusiasts now have the opportunity to take pictures in 4K format. The shooting resolution can be selected as in the camera settings. The same is true in the settings of the iPhone itself.

Live Photos mode is an interesting new feature of the iPhone 6S, which allows you to capture frames half a second before the actual frame was taken and within a second after. As a result, a 3-second video and, in fact, the main photo will be saved in the smartphone’s memory.

By the way, you can start displaying photos using the 3D Touch technology mentioned above.

Difficulties in handling the Apple 6S smartphone

Like any mobile device, even if the most advanced, the Apple 6S smartphone is not without its shortcomings. How to fix the most common problems that often arise among owners of the Six S is described below.

So, the most frequently encountered difficulties are:

1 Rapid discharge of the battery, which sometimes has to be recharged several times a day. To avoid this, you need to go to the “Settings” - “General” - Content Update menu and press the “off” button. 2 System hangs. If this happens infrequently, you need to try to reset by holding two buttons - the “Home” and the power key. If the device freezes too often, it may be faulty and you need to contact a service center. 3 Chaotic activation of 3D Touch. According to Apple specialists who deal directly with the development of the gadget, this phenomenon indicates a serious breakdown of the iPhone and requires its replacement. However, this phenomenon can occur when the screen is dirty, so do not panic if 3D Touch starts to work frequently and regardless of your actions, but carefully examine the display. 4 Strong heating of the device body. It may be caused by the continuous operation of an application installed on the iPhone. We need to check if this is true. By looking at the Batteries tab in the Settings menu. If nothing special is found there, you should reset all settings and then restore the data from the backup.

Thus, iPhone version The 6 Series S has slightly surpassed previous models of Apple gadgets. Take, for example, its closest predecessor - the iPhone 6. However, if the smartphone user is not too sophisticated and does not chase technical innovations, such as 3D Touch technology, and the quality of the camera is not particularly important to him, in principle, he will not feel the difference between the two versions .

But if it is important for the consumer to have a high-tech new product with him, with the help of which he can significantly simplify his life, for example, saving time when paying for purchases, then the iPhone 6S will be preferable to him than any other earlier version of the phone from Apple. However, gamers will probably also opt for the iPhone 6S.

Step 1.

Ladies and gentlemen, the time is near. The iPhone 6 Plus will go on sale today or in the very near future. I would like to know what makes this huge phone special? And this is a very good question:

Apple A8 processor with 64-bit architecture.

M8 second generation coprocessor.

16, 64 and 128 GB storage.

5.5 inch 1920x1080 pixels (401 pixels per inch) Retina HD display.

8 MP base ISight camera (with 1.5μ pixels, autofocus and phase detection, and optical image stabilization) and 1.2 MP FaceTime cameras.

Touch ID fingerprint scanner in the home button, barometer, 3-axis gyroscope, accelerometer, light sensor.

Standard Wi-Fi 802.11a, as well as an NFC wireless transmitter and 20-band LTE.

Step 2.

Soon we will also have an iPhone 6 Plus smartphone with Bluetooth / NFC.

The dimensions of the new product are 158.1 mm in height, 77.8 mm in width, and 7.1 mm in thickness, and this is a size that is ahead of last year’s achievements in the 5s, where the size was 7.6 mm.

Step 3.

Just like the iPhone 5c, the iPhone 6 Plus is available in three different colors: silver, gold, and space gray. Of course, the gold model of the smartphone is more attractive.

The iPhone 6 Plus is identified by its model number: A1524.

As everyone has already noticed, both iPhone 6s are equipped with a camera that is noticeably raised relative to the level of the back cover. It seems that Apple was unable to reduce its size so that the back cover has one level. The lens glass may be made from sapphire crystal, but we're still concerned that this design means reduced durability.

Much like HTC One M8, iPhone 6 Plus includes two plastic antenna strips on the outside of the case. These bands help improve wireless reception, which may be disrupted by signal blocking from the all-metal casing.

Step 4.

It seems Apple does not want to move away from screw assembly technology and uses annoying Pentalobe screws.

Step 5.

The iSclack device will help save a lot of time; it allows you to easily separate the display assembly from the back cover of the case.

And here the first pleasant moment awaits us, there are no noticeable booby traps, and the smartphone is neatly divided into two halves.

The only small annoyance is the separation of the touch ID sensor cable, otherwise everything goes smoothly. In the middle of the case, everything is located compactly, and I would like to note that now access to replacing the display is easier, which will significantly reduce the cost of replacing it.

Step 6.

With the display assembly now removed, we get our first look at the insides of the iPhone 6 Plus.

And the internal layout of the iPhone 6 Plus appears to be similar to the 5s model, but we immediately noticed the decidedly larger battery size. Based on its capacity alone, we suspect the iPhone 6 Plus will only last up to half a workday.

Step 7

The home button on the case is fixed with a metal bracket. Removing the bracket allows us to simply separate the home button from the front panel.

This design is very similar to the previous version, the modular design is very convenient, as replacement in case of repair does not take much time.

Step 8

The front camera is part of a larger cable assembly that also includes a speaker speaker. Both are on the front panel.

Step 9

Now we decided to remove the metal plate from the front panel.

There are also noticeable changes for the better, the smartphone has become more noticeably repairable, Apple has completely redesigned the concept. The home button is connected to the main board. Previously, the cables were short and fragile on the iPhone 5s, but instead Apple has made nice changes and now you can remove the Home Button without any effort - this is very pleasing!

Why did the engineers lengthen the cable on the home button, apparently to improve maintainability. Thanks Apple.

Step 10

The next logical step is to remove the battery from the iPhone 6 Plus.

The battery connector is covered with a metal bracket, which can be removed using metal pliers.

At the bottom of the battery you can find a few drops of sticky sealant, just pulling the battery is wrong, it is better to use a knife - this glue is similar to 3M Command glue.

Step 11

The overall dimensions of the battery are: 4.7 "x 1.9" x 0.13" with 43 grams of weight, mystically placed on back cover housings.

According to rumors, the battery is rated at 3.82 V and 11.1 Wh for a total of 2915 mAh - that's almost double the 1560 mAh capacity on the iPhone 5c, and slightly larger than the 2800 mAh on its competitor Samsung Galaxy S5.

Apple guarantees talk time of up to 24 hours on 3G networks, and 384 hours of standby time.

Battery on Plus models larger than the standard iPhone 6's 6.91 Wh and 1,810 mAh battery, which explains the longer battery life despite the much larger screen.

Step 12

When we opened this box, we found thin, massive copper coils in the middle inside. They create an alternating magnetic field that shakes a magnet that is mounted on a pair of springs.

Step 13

The rear camera is easy to remove using tweezers.

The back of the ISight camera is marked DNL432 70566F MKLAB.

Just like the iPhone 5c, 6 Plus is equipped with an 8 megapixel base camera with parameters (with 1.5μ pixels) ƒ / 2.2 aperture. The camera on the 6 Plus has two new features: optical image stabilization and "Focus Pixel" phase-detection autofocus.

Phase detection autofocus has existed before, only now this function has appeared on smartphones. However, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are not the first smartphones, as the Samsung Galaxy S5 is ahead of its competitors.

Step 14

The base camera on the new iPhone 6 Plus definitely has image stabilization.

Step 15

Apple likes to focus on its cameras, so what lens? Let's take a closer look...

Using a plastic tool and fingers, we remove the camera body.

Step 16

A deep look at the inside of the camera's back reveals just what we expected: a small lens.

Under the lens we see the camera matrix.

The key feature that sets this camera apart from the standard iPhone 6 is the optical image stabilization. The lens on the left is housed in a tiny metal cage, which is oscillated back and forth by electromagnetic coils surrounding the sensor on the right.

Constant readings from the M8's gyroscope and motion coprocessor give the iPhone 6 Plus detailed data on the movements of your shaky human hands, allowing it to compensate for the fast-moving lens assembly. The result: clear, bright photos, even in low light conditions.

Step 17

We have to spend a little time, and we remove the motherboard, which is tightly attached to the back of the case with several screws.

But before finishing, we disconnected the cable from the antenna connector and the board.

Step 19

Let's find out which chips are on the front side of the motherboard:

A8 APL1011 Apple SoC + Elpida 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM (labeled EDF8164A3PM-GD-F) – processor.

MDM9625M Qualcomm - LTE modem

Skyworks 77802-23 Low Band LTE PAD.

A8020 Avago High Band PAD.

A8010 UltraAvago High Band PA + FBARs.

TQF6410TriQuint 3G EDGE - Power amplifier module.

MP67B 6 InvenSense - Axial gyroscope and accelerometer Combo.(black).

Step 20.

What other chips are on the front of the board:

Qualcomm QFE1000 – chip to reduce power consumption when operating LTE.

RF Micro Devices RF5159 – antenna module switch.

Skyworks 77356-8 - medium PAD range

Step 21

Now let's turn over the motherboard that is there.

SK Hynix H2JTDG8UD1BMS 128 GB (16 GB)– SSD drive.

Murata 339S0228 - Wi-Fi module

Apple/Dialog338S1251 -AZ Power Management IC

Broadcom BCM5976 - touch controller

N XP LPC18B1UK ARM Cortex-M3 microcontrollers, known as the M8 motion coprocessor.

NXP 65V10 NFC module+ Secure Element(probably contains an NFC controller inside the NXP PN544.

Qualcomm WTR1625L - radio transceiver (black).

Step 22

More other chips from the back panel of the motherboard:
