Another possibility for the lower res is perf. I think it's quite possible the 6+ will have the worst per pixel perf of any modern iOS device. In the conference they, I believe, bragged ~38% more pixels on the 6 and 170% more in the 6+. But the GPU is only 50% faster!
The iPhone 4 and ipad3 both suffered seriously by having 4x the pixels as their predecessor but only 2x the GPU. Mostly games suffered but it's still an issue elsewhere with fancy animations, transparency, etc.
But this is all speculatory theorycrafting at this point
- mirsadm 12y agoThe performance should be comparable to the iPad. They share the same SOC.
- forrestthewoods 12y ago...no? 6 and 6+ are both A8. 5s, Ipad air and mini retina are a7. I believe air is clocked slightly higher tha 5s, 1.3ghz vs 1.2. I think without question the 6+ will have worse per pixel perf than the 6. It would be even more worse if the screen were even more higher res. That's not enough to make or break anything. But it's got to be another consideration.
- zeitg3ist 12y agoiPad Airs don't have any problems using a 2048x1536 resolution with the A7. I guess it can be safely said that iPhone 6s won't have problems with their resolution on an A8.
- mirsadm 12y agoYes they do share the exact same SOC on the current iPhone/iPad (as mentioned below). They will almost certainly share the same SOC with the new iPad. So yes whilst the iPhone 6 will have better performance than the 6+, it won't matter because the 6+ will be comparable to the iPad. Happy?
- pdpi 12y agoThat makes no sense to me. If that were the issue, they wouldn't use the larger frame buffer internally, which (AFAIK) is what dictates graphics performance insofar as it depends on display resolution.
