hey what is up guys I'm Kay PhD here and this is the iPhone 6 it's finally here the iPhone 6 and 6-plus came out at the same time and I'll be covering the six plus a little bit later but I figured I would give you guys my first impressions my first thoughts on this new iPhone form factor I've a lot to say about the hardware iOS 8 is also now on this guy but I'm not gonna do an unboxing I'm pretty sure you've already seen what's in the box with a new iPhone so let's just get straight into my thoughts on it so if Apple was going for the world's most minimal smartphone packaging I think they've nailed it here although they totally could have just run out of printer ink or something but either way those stuff you get inside the box is about the same as any other iPhone so there's that in fact the one thing that actually did notice about the packaging was a special cut out for the iPhones new protruding camera but we'll get to that in a second so this is the iPhone 6 and it's probably going to look very familiar from the 4.7 inch screen size to the design to the thinness and the button placement if you guys remember the video I did on this silver iPhone 6 dummy earlier this year this new phone actually matches that dummy in a lot of ways almost to a tee with the ports the camera flash and everything even the paint on the back around the antenna which I didn't exactly think was legit is exactly the same here and this looks a little different on the different colored iPhones I think it looks much more subtle on the space grey but this happens to be the gold ones so the paint lines stick out a bit more I hope to get another subdued look on a different color iPhone very soon but my immediate impressions with fuel in the hand is this phone first of all it's strikingly light like really really light much lighter and of course thinner than the iPhone 5s it's actually only a hundred and twenty-nine grams which is crazy light in the smartphone scale things and another crazy measurement is it's freaking thin it's 6.9 millimeters thin now here's the thing about the iPhone 6 is thinness all of this comes with the trade-off of number one a small battery again and number two the protruding camera lens out the back it might not seem like a big deal at first but you'll hear a lot of other people talking about this sticking out the back means the phone won't sit flat on a table anymore it means the lens will be the first thing to scratch that's it's sticking out the back it's protruded it's on protected and it's just unsightly it doesn't look as good I don't think I can possibly be the only one who would rather just have a slightly thicker iPhone 6 so that the camera doesn't stick out and the battery is bigger but you know maybe iPhone 6s either way the thing about this phone is the rounded edges remind me a lot of the HTC One m8 in that in adding all metal and rounding it around here it makes it a lot slippery or compared to the predecessor so basically the iPhone 5s you had that flat edge that you could hold on to and manipulate the phone in your hand however you want it was a lot easier but what the iPhone 6 being rounded off I feel like it's a lot easier to slip or fall or drop without a case and it's funny because someone has actually already dropped their iPhone on day one but that's another story on the front of the iPhone 6 is the main story which a lot of people are talking about is the big feature it's a brand new 4.7 inch display is not the 5.5 inch of the iPhone 6 plus but it's a modest improvement here over the 5s and it has this odd resolution Apple calls it retina HD but that doesn't really matter it's 1334 by 750 so in reality just a little bit above 720p so it's the same pixel density as the iPhone 5s and it is a pretty nice-looking display it's very very bright outdoors it can get very very dim indoors it's basically what we'd come to expect from Apple and their integration it's it's great viewing angles great color reproduction from what I can see it's a great Apple display of course the bezels around the display are a little bit bigger than some other phones like the Moto X for example that also have a 4.7 inch display since Apple needs room for the home button and a matching forehead for the chin so it's up to them to decide when they want to slim down the bezels but right now it's definitely a nice size bump compared to other 4.7 inch screen phones so iOS 8 seems to do just fine with this new resolution in fact I think iOS 8 is the first version of iOS to not stutter when I pull down into spotlight search that might be a minor thing for most people but that always stuttered before iOS 8 so I was pretty happy about that on the iPhone 5s and I'm pretty happy about that on the iPhone 6 I know but it's definitely going to be fun to play around with iOS 8 a bit more obviously a bunch of other phones have this now on other iPhones but I actually made a video a while back about my thoughts on iOS aids new features so I'll drop a link below if you want to watch that video it's very smooth here perform as well it's really well optimized for Apple's newest hardware as we would expect but only time will tell using this phone for a bit more weather quirks will show up or bugs need to be fixed or ironed out or squashed but in the meantime its iOS I mean you'll notice it's visually not that different from iOS 7 so let's be honest if you're coming from any other iPhone you're gonna feel right at home here and it's just another iPhone with a bigger screen so overall that's about it for now I got to say between the iPhone 6 and a 6 plus the six with the 4.7 inch screen is I think the one that most current iPhone users are going to upgrade to when you hold the 6 plus it's much bigger but I still have a bunch of other things to test for when I get to my full review so the battery life that's something we don't really know yet the camera quality I wanna be testing a lot and be sure to follow on Twitter and Instagram and Google+ where I'll be posting photos from the apparently very good iPhone 6 camera so definitely follow for that if you'll also see battery life update so I'll be posting those as I use this as my daily driver as well so much more to come before the full video review of the new iPhone but this is just my impressions for now thank you for watching I'll talk to you guys the next one peace Oh
