Iphone 6 in 2018

The smartphone industry is very dynamic, with the two most popular brands releasing a new flagship alteration on a yearly basis Apple (around September) and Samsung around August. So if you are like most people you may not want to be left behind. My take today is on the iPhone 6, is it a relevant purchase in 2018? The iPhone 6 is a smartphone developed and produced by Apple Inc. It was first released in September 2014 and features a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, an 8-megapixel iSight camera, an A8 chip with 64-bit architecture, and runs on iOS 8

For the most part an iPhone 6 will leave you satisfied, but i will just review some of the things i have experienced while using this phone in 2018;

Camera - the phone spots a 8 megapixel, 1/3 inch sensor and a 1.2mp front facing camera. Apple are known to make good phone cameras and this does not disappoint. focusing is quick, average shots in low light and the selfies are good. Note the megapixel count only comes in handy when you want to scale images.

Battery - The battery is disappointing especially if you use mobile data a lot you may need to plug it on a charger twice a day the a810mAh is a lower capacity espesially in comparison to its main competitor the Samsung galaxy S5 which spots a 2800mah . current phones in 2018 have double the capacity.

Design - With an aluminium back and glass sandwich the phone feels premium and  although the large chin makes for a past appearance the phone still good to hold in the hands. 2018 feels like a year of new design for Apple as the company catches up to other companies that have almost eradicated the chin on phones.

Gaming/graphics - The iPhone 6 holds its own when it comes to gaming. The Apple A8 with a dual core chip at 1.4 GHz is a worthy contender in terms of normal day use and handles quite well. Gameplay is smooth and mortal kombat x on the device runs smooth as well as asphalt, there are no lags in game-play.

Fingerprint sensor - The touch id is very convenient once set you can log in to you device with a simple finger press on the home button and it works well even with sweaty fingers, and it front facing an idea that is still attractive to many users as compared to face ID on the iPhone X and onwards. Reparability is 8/10, but you should also transfer the old touch ID to your new screen otherwise the fingerprint functionality will be lost.

Now should you buy an iPhone 6 in 2018? since 2016  on release of the iPhone 7,this version has been discontinued in many countries and most of the offers are either used or refurbished so you can pick one up for about  ksh 18,000 ($178) - ksh 25000 ($248). If you are one who wants to enter the Apple experience the iPhone 6 is a good place to start however depending on your budget, there are alternative especially the iPhone 6s.

Second Hand Phone Purchase. Mobile phones are being manufactured year in year out, and consumers have a lot of options, the pressure to keep up with current trends may be overwhelming. In developed countries not only do consumers get comparatively better wages but Telcom companies have plans where one can purchase a mobile phone and make monthly payments and the overall cost remans considerably lower an example is T-Mobile, AT&T in both US and UK, the case is different in developing countries where average wage is miniscule.
