Apple knows how to impress, but it seems to have forgot to amaze. Passions around the new iPhone pouleglis, and now it's safe to say that the company Tim Cook on 100% lived up to expectations ... but not 150% and 200%, as it could, if kept entirely secret future trends.
People on the web a few months discussing spy shots and carried the market rumors, arguing about the sapphire crystal, curved and frameless display ... And about a week before the premiere of iPhone 6 shown on YouTube. And on Tuesday Apple showed the world something new. Part of insider safely was confirmed, while the other remained at the level of rumor. We offer a list of things which we have not seen in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus .
1 Sapphire
Apple has signed a partnership agreement with GT Advanced Technologies, which is developing a sapphire crystal, and specializes in technology, allowing to equip such a glass large enough devices. Well, then you have Apple did not have the desire to equip the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sapphire displays, whether it was not possible. Gorilla Glass for the iPhone costs about $ 3. But sapphire analogue would cost, according to experts, in the $ 30-35. Not to pay for the solution of the legendary operating margin, Apple would have to sharply raise prices on the iPhone. The Plus version with a screen of 5.5 inches could hit the profitability is particularly strong, and in fact the target audience should be the owners of large smartphones on Android, which is not used to the price of Apple and sapphire without any extra charges.
2 frameless and curved display
Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Edge, Koreans announced the other day, demonstrates the company's confidence in the bright future devices with a curved screen. This same technology is used in the company's local time. Some experts believe that the bending display meaningless, since it does not improve the ergonomics of the device. But here's an idea frameless screen like almost everything. However, the iPhone's display 6 remained flat, and the frame does not become drastically thinner.
3 Wireless charging
Something for nothing unpleasant. Watch watches can be charged without wires, but the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus - no. Wireless charging technology can not, of course, be called revolutionary. But many experts and insiders claimed that an updated line of Apple's smartphone will be equipped with it. In the concept of Apple, it would seem to fit perfectly. But just Watch, alas.
4 Waterproof
When Sony tried to resurrect long out of fashion waterproof technology, many did not believe in its future success. However, the idea caught on and found many supporters. After all, it is not necessarily about underwater photography. Waterproof gadgets can be used on the beach, at the pool, in the bathroom, and so on. We can say that protection against water and dust becomes the new global trend, but Apple has not yet acceded to it. As for the clock Watch, they are not afraid of the rain and sweat, but in the shower with this gadget on your arm to walk is not recommended.
