RefurbStore's independent expert review
Review Overview:
The iPhone 6, released by Apple in 2014, was a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the iPhone 5S. It boasts a larger, 4.7-inch display, an improved camera, and enhanced performance. However, it's worth noting that the technology is somewhat dated compared to newer models.
Overall Score: 3.5/5
Price: 3/5
At its launch, the iPhone 6 was priced at a premium. However, with the introduction of newer models, the price has significantly dropped, making it more affordable for those looking for a budget-friendly Apple device. Still, when compared to other smartphones in its range, the iPhone 6 can be considered slightly overpriced.
Camera: 4/5
The iPhone 6 features an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.2-megapixel front camera, both performing well in various lighting conditions. The camera software is user-friendly and offers features like slow-motion video and time-lapse. However, compared to the camera capabilities of newer models, it falls a bit short.
Power: 4/5
The iPhone 6 is powered by Apple's A8 chip, which provides smooth performance for most tasks. It handles multitasking efficiently and runs most apps without any significant lag. However, with more demanding apps and games, you might experience some slowdowns.
Battery: 3/5
The iPhone 6's battery life is decent, but not impressive. It typically lasts a full day with moderate use, but heavy users might need to reach for the charger by late afternoon. It also lacks the fast-charging and wireless charging features found in newer models.
