Another year and another update to the iPhone has been unveiled. After months of many rumors and speculation the iPhone 6 specs have been released with most of the size and feature rumors coming true. While it isn’t a huge leap forward compared to the already pretty solid camera you have with a iPhone 5 there are some definite good improvements Apple is making with the iPhone 6. Here is a quick look at what’s to come:
The camera is 8 megapixels which is the same as the iPhone 5 however has a f/2.2 aperture and a new focus pixel technology which should allow for quicker focusing and better focusing in low light. This focus pixel technology is part of a new sensor which also means next-gen tone mapping and noise reduction. Overall it should make your photos in low light look better than the previous models. Since Apple cut down the size of the phone in thickness the lens does protrude just a bit out of the back of the phone. From the photos it still has a sleek look to it and we will see very soon how this feels in real life.
The iPhone 6 will have digital image stabilization but Apple is adding in optical image stabilization built right into the lens of the iPhone 6 Plus. This will be another thing that will help you capture sharper images in low light and also will help keep your video more stable.
Speaking of video both models do take 1080p video at 30fp or 60fps. With the slo-mo feature that Apple released last year you will see a frame rate jump up to 120 fps or 240 fps. Apple also has a feature they call cinematic video stabilization, continuous autofocus, and a time-lapse video feature all which sound pretty cool but will have to give them a run in some real world scenarios to see how they hold up.
The cameras have True Tone Flash just like they did before which uses two different LEDs to attempt to match the color temperature for better flash photos. The front-facing FaceTime HD camera has been improved as well and now captures 81 percent more light. It also has improved face detection and a new burst mode takes 10 photos per second.
As we have done for many years in the past we will be posting some comparisons of the camera and video quality against the iPhone 5S the day these new phones are released so check back for more info soon!
