Apple is set to release the iPhone 6 in September, but how will it differ from the iPhone 5s? We explore the rumours.
Phone 5s vs iPhone 6: Screen size
First things first let's talk about screen size. Expect bigger from the iPhone 6, that's for sure.
The iPhone 5s has a 4in display, which for a flagship smartphone in
2014 is actually pretty tiny. Even mini versions of flagship phones from
Samsung, LG and HTC have displays bigger than 4in.
It's widely expected that the iPhone 6 will have a 4.7in display.
There's also talk of a second new iPhone coming this year, this one
dubbed iPhone Air with a 5.5in display.
The screen of the iPhone 6 could also be higher resolution than the
iPhone 5s. The iPhone 5s has a 326ppi display, but it's possible that
the iPhone 6's display could have a pixel density of up to 538ppi like
the LG G3. See also: LG G3 vs iPhone 5s comparison.
iPhone 5s vs iPhone 6: Design
Not only is the iPhone 6 expected to have a bigger screen, it's also
expected to have a significantly different design to the iPhone 5s.
The iPhone 5s has straight edges, but it looks like the iPhone 6's
edges will be rounded, a bit like the iPad Air and iPod touch. It's also
expected to be thinner than the iPhone 5s's 7.6mm.
Apple could achieve this thinner and lighter design through the use
of super-durable sapphire glass for the display, combined with
lightweight and strong Liquidmetal, which Apple has exclusive rights to
use.
This means that, not only will the iPhone 6 be lighter and thinner
than the iPhone 5s, it should also be less likely to scratch, crack or
shatter.
Several allegedly leaked photographs of the iPhone 6's back seem to
suggest that the iPhone 6 will have an illuminated Apple logo on the
back. The iPhone 5s's Apple logo is made of metal.
It's thought that the iPhone 6's power button might be on the side of
the device instead of on the top like it is in the iPhone 5s.
iPhone 5s vs iPhone 6: Features & specs
In addition to the changes we can expect to see on the outside of the
iPhone 6, you can also expect significantly improved internal specs.
The iPhone 5s has a powerful A7 processor, so we're expecting an even
better A8 processor in the iPhone 6.
There's an M7 co-processor in the iPhone 5s that's expected to carry
across to the iPhone 6, and both iPhones will share the Touch ID
fingerprint sensor.
We've heard rumours about a bigger and better battery in the iPhone
6, but some of that extra power could be used up by the iPhone 6's
bigger display.
Other additions that we could see in the iPhone 6 include wireless
charging, an NFC chip, 802.11ac WiFi and a new 128GB option, none of
which are available in the iPhone 5s.
iPhone 5s vs iPhone 6: Camera
The camera in the iPhone 6 is likely to represent a significant
improvement over the iPhone 5s. The iPhone 5s has an 8Mp camera with an
f/2.2 aperture, but rumour has it that Apple is planning on boosting
that to a 10Mp camera with an f/1.8 aperture and an improved filter.
Image stabilisation and other image editing enhancements are expected,
too.
iPhone 5s vs iPhone 6: Price & availability
The iPhone 5s is available to buy from Apple now, with a starting
price of £549. The iPhone 6 is expected to become available in
September, and will probably have a similar starting price. We'll update
this article when we find out more about the iPhone 6 release date and
price, as well as the design, specs and new features you can expect from
the new phone. You can find out even more about the iPhone 6 in our iPhone 6 rumour round-up.
