iPhone 6: What’s New?
The iPhone 6 is slightly slimmer at 6.9 mm thickness, which is still slimmer compared to the 7.6 mm thickness of the iPhone 5S.
iPhone 6 comes with the usual round edged design with the home button housing the TouchID fingerprint sensor and an anodized aluminum back. However, the sides are now curved rather than flat.
The standard Apple logo is created from stainless steel inlay. iPhone 6 is available in three different colors: silver, gold and space grey. Apple also moved the power button from the top to the side.
The smartphone comes with a new processor, the Apple A8 chip. The A8 is a 64-bit chip like the A7, but promises 50% faster graphics and 25% faster processor, which should make iPhone 6 run more smoothly on iOS 8.
The more recent iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus offers A10 Fusion chip, which Apple claims is twice as fast as the A8 chip.
Newer models of the iPhone include the iPhone 13, the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 Mini, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

iPhone 6 comes with a bigger display, stepping up from the 4.0-inch screen. It features a 4.7-inch display IPS display, but retains the 326 pixel-per-inch Retina resolution with 750 x 1334 pixels.
