White or black iPhone 6. How to visually distinguish different models of iPhones

Pre-orders for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus began at 11:01 pm on September 12th, with retail sales starting September 25th.

If you intend to buy a new iPhone, you need to do it quickly. Here are some quick tips to help you sell your old iPhone and buy a new one.

Do you really neediPhone 6 soriPhone 6 s Plus?

First of all, ask yourself if you really need an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus. If you already own an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, then there is no point in updating it. If you have an iPhone 4s, hopefully your payment card is ready. iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus include compelling upgrades: an improved A9 processor, 12MP camera, new 3D Touch screen, always-on Siri, and more.

What to choose: iPhone 6soriPhone 6s Plus?

If you've decided to upgrade your phone, decide which iPhone you choose. Will it be a smaller device - iPhone 6s with a 4.7-inch display, or a bigger one - 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus. iPhone 6s has additional features like Image Stabilizer and Improved Landscape Mode, which encourage you to choose a larger model.

Think carefully: a large iPhone is good for watching movies and using navigation, but it can be difficult to carry around in this format. The iPhone 6s shows a fine line between size and convenience: it has a large enough screen for browsing the internet, but you can still text with one hand and easily slip into your pocket.

What color to buyiPhone 6 s?

We're used to three color options - Gold, Silver and Space Gray. Apple has added a fourth color, Rose Gold. The iPhone in "gold" or rose-gold casing is for those who want to stand out from the crowd. If you enjoy playing and watching photos on your iPhone, get your iPhone in black as the black frame emphasizes the quality of the graphic content. If you want to hide scratches and keep your iPhone looking light, go for a silver color. Not sure what color you want, and you will still stick your iPhone in the case, buy in the color that is in stock.

Should I choose 16 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB?

The next important point after the color and value of the phone is the amount of memory. Considering the ability to record 4K video on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, we would advise users not to buy the 16GB iPhone. Add $ 100 and buy the 64GB model and you won't run out of memory. If you have a huge library, store everything on your iPhone, use offline maps and navigation in abundance, add another $ 100 and buy an iPhone with 128GB of storage. In this model, you won't even fill up all the memory.

Where to sell your currentiPhone?

The best place to sell your phone is eBay if you are comfortable with shipping and scams. The maximum amount of money you can get for your iPhone is on eBay or Avito. The Avitot service does not require payment. Meet a customer, exchange your iPhone for money, and disperse. Only the exchange is best done in a crowded place and take one more person with you. Finally, you can sell your iPhone using Apple or Amazon retailers.

The concept of being unoriginal will inevitably cause an unhealthy grin on the face of even an ordinary user, let alone a real genuine disgust in a pedantic perfectionist. Nevertheless, the modern "devil is not as scary as he is painted" - high-quality replicas have every right to exist. This is especially true of cases of lack of an original alternative, which were encountered by almost all users of Apple's mobile electronics. In this material will dot all the "i" for those who have decided to replace - pitfalls and possible problems.

So what's the difference between the original iPhone 6 case and the non-original?

General appearance from the outside

The general appearance of the original case for the iPhone 6 and the unoriginal outside is almost identical. In the second case, the plastic separating the antenna units in the presented case is black, but it can also be white - as on the original silver case. The joint between plastic and aluminum is pleasant to the touch. Finding the difference between the original iPhone 6 case and the non-original will be very difficult.

General appearance inside


In the inner part of the non-original iPhone 6 case, hidden from the user's eyes, the differences are much more noticeable. An experienced craftsman will immediately notice a slightly carelessly filled plastic and the difference in the operation of the CNC machine. Nevertheless, these visual differences will definitely not affect the operation of the device as a whole - you can be sure of this.

Shiny border - facet - on the speaker and microphone holes


On closer inspection, you can notice that, unlike the original iPhone 6 case, the non-original case lacks shiny edges - facets - on the speaker and microphone holes.

Foam seals


The non-original case for iPhone 6 lacks foam seals, including the one that protects the camera from dust. All of them are carried over by an experienced craftsman from the original case when replaced. A flash in a colored case in Chinese is fixed on a couple of dots of glue.

Holes for buttons and SIM card holder



The holes for the buttons and the SIM card holder in the non-original iPhone 6 case are almost perfect, including the facets. The buttons in them move as smoothly and pleasantly as possible - that is why you can hear the very "correct" click.

Apple logo



The Apple logo is the most significant difference between the non-original iPhone 6 case and the original - it may sink or protrude slightly above the surface. Such defects are corrected as much as possible by the EtoService technicians when they are replaced. Over the many years of experience of our service center specialists, the logo perfectly made by the Chinese has not yet been encountered - the only exception can be the products of the Foxconn plant, whose employees are engaged in the production of all components for the iPhone. Nevertheless, it should be noted that such defects are often found in the original cases for the iPhone 6, which can be considered the norm for such a technology of fixing the logo in the case.

Lettering


The inscriptions at the bottom of the non-original case for iPhone 6 are made similar to the original solution - they are made with a laser and contain the name of the phone, which, of course, differs from the custom one. The biggest difference in the design of the lettering is the font used.

Camera hole


There is a necessary facet on the camera hole in the non-original iPhone 6 case, but it differs from the original solution in color. There is no oleophobic coating on the glass used to protect the camera, so you will have to wipe it more often.

Measurements



The dimensions of the non-original iPhone 6 case repeat the original solution by 99.98%, which is its undoubted advantage. The width of the colored case is 67.012 mm - the difference reaches a negligible value of 0.017%. The thickness of the aluminum is 0.7 mm - there is no difference at all, so the non-original case has the same strength and rigidity.

Thus, non-original colored cases for iPhone 6, which are used by our company's specialists for replacement, do not have significant differences and are suitable for use - in comparison with the original ones, they can be estimated at 8/10. However, it should be noted that non-original cases can differ significantly, depending on the manufacturer. All factory replacement housings are meticulously checked by our service workers. Of the last batch of 100 received, 79 were sent back - the rest were as close to the original as possible.

Should you change the case to a colored one?

We cannot answer this question unequivocally, everyone must make a decision on their own. We, in turn, have created favorable conditions for this:

  • - the disassembly and assembly of the phone in a new case is carried out by professionals;
  • - cases of excellent quality, each case is selected;
  • - a large assortment in stock;
  • - a guarantee for the assembly of the phone to each client.

iPhone 6 is far from a novelty, but the demand for it does not even think to fall, rather it will hold out in the top of smartphones for several more years, gradually becoming cheaper and becoming more affordable. In this regard, the question of which color of the iPhone 6 to choose is not an idle whim, but a decision that can be given more time, based on the experience of other users.

Let's say you have already decided what size "six" you need - regular or with a plus, so in this article we are considering only the colors that are the same for both variations. Apple in the sixth model does not spoil too much with a gamut, offering its customers a choice of only three colors of the iPhone 6: gray, space gray and gold. What's in Russian: gray, space gray and gold.

Gray, aka silver, and gold have a white front panel, but space gray is as black as space itself!

Let's consider each color scheme in more detail.

iPhone 6 with white bezels

The iPhone 6 colors gray and gold, as mentioned above, have white fronts. This moment is extremely important for the perception of both the entire style of the phone from the outside and the content on the screen by the user. White is a departure from the usual style of multimedia device screens and for good reason. For example, TVs are almost without exception surrounded by dark colors, as light colors can distract the eyes from the screen, and this sensation can be amplified by the habit of expecting to see black around the displays.

But that's not new to the iPhone, considering the iPhone 5's white and silver colors are available, as well as the iPhone 5S's white and gold colors. Many people have used them before without too much difficulty, and experience with the iPhone 6 suggests the same. But if you only had dark smartphones before, it is better to try swinging the model with a white face to find out if this style will annoy you.

The white panel signals from afar to anyone that you are not holding any kind of phone. In addition, the white frame around the screen looks advantageous in some cases. For example, when you surf, work with documents, read. Unlike media content, the dominant tones here are light, and therefore black with contrast can stand out and distract.

But it's worth mentioning that the white bezel does not fit the screen off at all. Especially if it is slapped and scratched, the device may generally seem old and broken.

iPhone 6 with black bezel

Historically, black has become the most popular color for consumer electronics. The reason it hasn't been used on previous iPhones, including the 6th model, is because it is abnormally difficult to anodize. That is, by the time the iPhone 6 was released, Apple could not yet apply it cheaply and with high quality to aluminum cases, so that they would not climb. But this is also a version, maybe just the marketers did not want to market a model that would be similar to a dozen other black smartphones on Android.

But, nevertheless, in the iPhone 6 we see pure black on the front side of the space gray phone, which still indicates difficulties with the technical side. This solution made it possible to bring the color gamut closer to the most practical and familiar from the user's point of view.

The black case also looks more monolithic due to the hiding in color of all the seams and connectors.

Gold iPhone 6

The gold color of the iPhone 6 certainly conveys the aura of success and prosperity, high quality and elitism. On the other hand, someone may consider the gold iPhone too flashy and ostentatious, but this is only until you get to know this iPhone 6 color better. Apple's designers did a great job with the gold color scheme. Despite its name, it is especially restrained and sophisticated. This is not a flashy "redhead" of a gold chain and a fix in place of the knocked-out teeth of an embarrassed gopnik. Apple's gold is verified and gleams with high-tech anodizing that doesn't come close to the brink where vulgarity begins. The gold color of the iPhone 6 will appeal to connoisseurs of subtle yet luxurious design.

Gray iPhone 6

Pure aluminum is based on the silvery color. Transparent coating on top and no more processing. This fact promises minimal visibility of scratches and other damages on the case. The gray color of the iPhone 6 is unusually attractive in this sense.

Space Gray iPhone 6

At the same time, the space gray color of the iPhone 6 is the result of anodizing, which means less resistance to wear. Experience with the sixth models has shown that all the colors hold up great, but if you still want less noticeable scratches, you should choose lighter cases.

Discoloration of the case

Many colors tend to fade, lose saturation over time. The iPhone example shows that this device is not threatened with such a fate. The color of the iPhone 6 adheres perfectly to the device and looks like new if you haven't scratched it. It is worth noting that before the release of the iPhone 6 there were rumors that the delay in its presentation was postponed precisely because of the work on the UV resistance of the case colors. Not too close to the truth, but after a while we know that this is not worth worrying about.

For case lovers

If you plan to carry your smartphone in a case, then the question of choosing the color of the iPhone 6 comes down only to the preference for a white or black color panel. Here, focus on your taste, or if it doesn't tell you anything, try to think about the above benefits of white and black panels for different types of content. In short, black - games and videos; white - documents, surfing, books. The white panel is also supported by the fact that in the case of the iPhone, this color is more recognizable.

The frenzied excitement for the purchase of the flagships of the American company Apple - the iPhone 6 and 6 plus has subsided a little. Users no longer row all available products, but purposefully choose the most suitable option for themselves. And in addition to thinking about which model is better - 6 or 6 plus, you need to decide on the choice of color.

However, Apple does not really pamper consumers with the coloristic variety of its gadgets. The color scheme of the new iPhone case is limited to three, which have already become traditional, options: space gray, gold and gray, which are offered by the manufacturer for the second year in a row.

The color of the iPhone is the flour of choice

But even such a meager amount makes many people think: "What color of the iPhone case should you choose for yourself?" As practice shows, there is no definite answer. It all depends solely on the future owner and his preferences. And I also need to say thank you to Apple for choosing one of three.

First of all, it is worth noting that the gold and silver cases, both in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, have a white front panel, while the “space gray” has a black one. Omitting points like: "black is the most suitable for boys, and golden for girls", let us dwell on the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Black is always relevant!

It is clear that the iPhone in black (more precisely in black plus dark gray) is a classic that has been and will be relevant because of its versatility and practicality. It looks impressive and stylish, and therefore Apple decided to choose it to represent the entire line in the promo company.

Also, plus everything, the image on the display, thanks to the dark frames, is clearly shaded and seems even more contrasting and bright. This point is especially noticeable on the large screen of the iPhone 6 plus model.

In "silver" or "gold" - the iPhone is always in great shape.

The advantage of the silver body is that it is not painted - it is just native one-piece aluminum with a transparent coating, when scratched, the color does not change, and damage will not be so noticeable. The same cannot be said for the other two options. Although the cases of the new iPhone 6 and 6 plus now have a special anodized coating, suggesting a deeply penetrating paint. This means that Apple gadgets will remain unchanged for a long time, and the colors of the coatings will not fade over time.

Traditionally, smears and fingerprints are less noticeable on the gold or silver color of the case. As you can see in the image below, they are only visible on the shiny Apple logo and the surrounding panel is clean.

On the other hand, on black, dust and dirt, which inevitably appear during operation, are not striking, which accumulates in the sides around the display and the Touch ID key.

In general, the black iPhone visually looks monolithic. All working holes and buttons are clearly not visible on it, and there is an illusion that it is better protected. And in white - all of the above elements are contrastingly graded, and when the monitor is out, it sometimes looks broken.

Color is not the main thing

As you can see, Apple does not strive for color verification of its products, all the devices it offers are scattered all over the place. The subjective and minor differences listed above do not in any way affect the functionality and smooth operation of the iPhone 6 and 6 plus.

By and large, you most likely will not see the colors of the rear panel. Since to protect such an expensive gadget, you will probably purchase a protective case. Moreover, the cases of both models are overly streamlined and smooth, and therefore simply slip out of the hands. This is especially true for the oversized iPhone 6 plus. And the use of the cover makes the original color less important.

Although, in essence, it's all a matter of taste. So choose just the one that you liked the most, and do not worry about how it will manifest itself during operation, or what others will say.

Apple has presented a series of new iPhone 6s, which captivated their fans with a variety of colors. This time, the palette of designers has been transformed and, in addition to the usual colors of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s, new fashionable colors are presented to our attention: Space Gray, which translates as “Space Gray”, Pink Pink, Gold Gold and Silver Silver. All colors are worthy of being described to you.

The external design of the iPhone 6 cases and the colors of the case differ in many respects from their predecessor, the iPhone 5s. The names of the colors of smartphones, in principle, have not changed, but their shades are undoubtedly.

Undoubtedly the most attractive are the stripes on the back cover of smartphones, which indicate that you are the lucky owner of an iPhone 6. The stripes are comparatively different from the color of the smartphone itself, but the purpose of their application was not only to reflect a new direction in design, but also in a technical sense - it is an innovation for the smartphone itself. These stripes on the case not only ensure its attractiveness, but additionally ensure the operation of cellular communication and, of course, cellular modules, which have always been hindered by the aluminum case.

This color combination has long been known to us from the iPhone 5 / 5s series. Most likely, inspired by the previous design of the Apple smartphone, the authors continued this theme, adding to this the rounded edges, thin body and streamlined panel for which this brand became famous in the new season.

Pink Pink

The bestseller was undoubtedly the Apple iPhone 6 of the pink Pink case. Its soft pink pastel panel has won the admiration of many women. This shade of the smartphone complements the model image of fashionistas in the new season. Light stripes adorned his body like never before.

Stylish and straightforward Space Gray

Space Gray has brightened up a bit compared to the previous version of the iPhone. An innovation is undoubtedly the black stripes on the Space Gray. This shade brought a note of solidity and presentability to its owners, who, most likely, will become a strong half of humanity and will be able to appreciate the authority of Apple Gray iPhone 6.

Arctic Silver

The new shade of Silver Silver has become as close as possible to the metallic color of the Apple laptop, and the dark stripes on the back of its case, as it were, emphasize its individuality and grace. Apple replaced the cutting of straight lines with innovative new ones - rounded edges of the case, as it once presented its very first models. Now, truly owners of Apple products will be able to assemble an entire set of the same color from a smartphone, tablet and laptop.

Aristocratic Gold

Gold Apple iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, as well as pink, is undoubtedly the clear leader in smartphone sales. After all, the manufacturer received over 40% of orders specifically for the color "rose gold". The golden color pleased me with rich warm colors. The gold case is also beautifully complemented by white stripes.

The developers of accessories for the iPhone 6 Gold also did not stand aside, providing chic gold bezels for smartphone cases.

And if you stick the mirror glass on the body of the gold iPhone 6 smartphone, the color of the six will become truly royal.

Brikk, in turn, offered to complement the Apple iPhone 6, covering it with several layers of gold, platinum, and even for particularly sophisticated customers - inlaid with diamonds in the form of the Apple logo. The price of this finish ranges from $ 4495 to $ 8795.

Flawless White

The classic snow-white White iPhone 6 is flawless as always and is also complemented by darker tone stripes on the case. Its mirrored surface complements the image of purity more than ever for lovers of chic white.

Graceful Black

Black Black is designed, as always, in a strict style for lovers of practicality, rigor and classics. We agree that the iPhone 6 in black is reasonably recognized as one of the most popular, its new style is not violated by the usual images, but a practical version of matte black has been worked out quite appropriately.

Is Apple's color scheme in the iPhone 6 revolutionary? Yes, there is undoubtedly a new style and design. Sales trends, in turn, stimulated the developers of mirror glasses to saturate this device with an unsurpassed extravagant design that makes the appearance of the iPhone 6 unrecognizable.

From the beginning of sales, when huge queues gathered near Apple Stores and hundreds of people wanted to get a gold phone for themselves, and until now, the sales activity of the iPhone 6 and its great friend iPhone 6 Plus has not subsided.
