With both the iPhone 6
and iPhone 6 plus
available to pre-order, you are probably wondering one thing: Which one is better? Which one should you buy? Along with the obvious screen size difference (4.7 inches versus 5.5 inches), there are some other key differences between the two phones that you should consider before you buy the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.Some of you might also be wondering about the Android competition, too. After all, isn’t Apple just copying all of the big-screen Android smartphones that have been around for years, thanks to the likes of Samsung and HTC? The HTC One M8, for example, mostly has better specs than the iPhone 6 Plus — but it costs $100 less. To help you choose a smartphone, and to choose between iOS and Android, this post will compare the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and HTC One M8. For the most part we’ll focus on hardware specs and stand-out software features, but once we actually have the new iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus in our hands for review, we’ll update this story with more up-to-date details. We’ll also discuss where the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 3 and 4 fit into this comparison.Display: iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 6 Plus vs. HTC One M8Let’s start with the most obvious change between the iPhone 5S and both of the new iPhone 6 models: Screen size and resolution. While the iPhone 6 has a 4.7-inch display, its resolution is relatively low at 0 — the same 326 PPI as the iPhone 5S. The 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus steps up to a full 80 display, or 401 PPI. The HTC One M8 has a 5-inch panel at 80, or 441 PPI.For the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple has apparently updated its Retina display to… Retina HD. Retina HD apparently delivers higher contrast and more accurate color reproduction. Early hands-on reviews say that both new iPhones have fantastic displays, but we’ll have to wait for some objective comparisons. The One M8’s display is one of the best out there.The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus use IPS panels, while the HTC One M8 uses Super LCD (SLCD). Functionally, this should make very little difference. Both technologies have good viewing angles, contrast, color gamut, and so on.In terms of pure pixel density, the HTC One M8 probably has the better display. The iPhone 6’s 0 resolution is a little bit disappointing, but Apple had to maintain a specification gap between it and the iPhone 6 Plus. In any case, though, all three phones should look fantastic.iPhone 6 (bottom) vs. HTC One M8 thicknessSize and weight: iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 6 Plus vs. HTC One M8With apologies to a famous comic book movie: With a greater display comes greater size and weight.iPhone 6: 138.1mm long, 67mm wide, 6.9mm thick. 129 grams (4.55 oz).iPhone 6 Plus: 158.1mm long, 77.8mm wide, 7.1mm thick. 172 grams (6.07 oz).HTC One M8: 146.4mm long, 70.6mm wide, 9.4mm thick. 160 grams (5.64 oz).As you’d expect with its 5-inch screen, the One M8 sits almost perfectly between the two new iPhones. There is no denying that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are both incredibly thin, however — and according to hands-on impressions, it is this thinness that makes the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus easier to hold and manipulate than the HTC One M8.The Samsung Galaxy S5, in case you were wondering, is 145 grams and 8.1mm thick — so, significantly thinner than the One M8, but still a long way off the new iPhones. The Galaxy Note 4 is very similar to the iPhone 6 Plus in terms of dimensions and weight, but it packs in a larger and much-higher-res screen (5.7 inches @ 40).iPhone 6 A8 SoC CPU and GPU performance graph (Apple’s own figures)Hardware specs: iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 6 Plus vs. HTC One M8It’s always a little complex (and not really very objective) to compare the internals of Apple and Android devices. Apple usually goes for lower clock speeds (to save power), and smaller amounts of RAM (to cut costs and some power), but no one would say that the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus is a slow or sluggish phone.So far, all we really know is that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have the new 20nm Apple A8 SoC. We’ll be analyzing this chip in further depth later today. For now, it looks like it’s an updated version of the dual-core A7 SoC, but with a larger GPU. You will not be disappointed by the A8’s performance, I can tell you that much. It also looks like there’s just 1GB of RAM in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, but that’s unconfirmed. There is an updated M8 “motion coprocessor” in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, too, which presumably reduces sensor power consumption — but I’m sure the HTC One M8 has some coprocessors as well (they’re just not marketed as such).The HTC One M8 has the Snapdragon 801 SoC, which has a strong quad-core Krait CPU, but the Adreno 330 GPU is fairly dated by this point. The Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge, LG G3, and updated Galaxy S5 LTE-A (Korea only) have the newer Snapdragon 805 with Adreno 420 GPU, which will probably fare better against Apple’s A8 SoC. There is 2GB of RAM in the HTC One M8.Interestingly, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus now come in 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB models. The HTC One M8 only comes in 16 or 32GB flavors — but it has a micro SD card slot, unlike the iPhones. The iPhone models both come with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, while the One M8 does not. (The , but it’s a bit shoddy.)Battery life: iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 6 Plus vs. HTC One M8Neither the HTC One M8 (shown here) or the iPhone 6/6 Plus offer a replaceable battery.There’s no word on the actual size (watt-hours, mAh) of the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus battery, but Apple is promising some impressive battery life figures nonetheless. The larger chassis of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus hopefully allowed Apple to squeeze in a significantly larger battery over the iPhone 5S. On the iPhone 6 — according to Apple’s own figures — you should get 11 hours of web browsing over WiFi, 10 hours over LTE, and 11 hours of video playback. The iPhone 6 Plus steps up to 12 hours over WiFi and LTE, and 14 hours of video playback.The HTC One M8 has a fairly small battery as far as big Android phones go (2,600 mAh), and HTC doesn’t provide official surfing/video playback battery life figures. The Galaxy S5 (with a big, replaceable 2,800 mAh battery) is better in this regard. In any case, the One M8 is usually good for a full day of mixed usage — but you will probably get better battery life from the iPhone 6, and certainly the iPhone 6 Plus. We need to do some real testing before these figures can be confirmed, though.Cellular and wireless connectivity: iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 6 Plus vs. HTC One M8As you’d expect, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (especially the GSM versions), and HTC One M8, have very broad support for most of the world’s cellular and wireless connectivity standards. All three phones have support for 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC. (Apple’s new
will probably make the NFC solution in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus more useful than the One M8, however.)We can’t be certain at this point, but it seems all three phones use the same Qualcomm MDM9625 modem — so there’s wide support for most 3G and 4G bands, and up to LTE Cat 4 (150Mbps down, 50Mbps up). The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus do seem to support VoLTE, while the HTC One M8 does not. For a lot more information about the new iPhones’ connectivity, read our featured story: .Next page:

当前面有some时thousand要怎样表达?
这是数词用法①前面有数字时thousand不能加S.a thousand (一百),two thousand(两百),three thousand(三百),以此类推【hundred与这个thousand用法一样】②thousands of意思是成千的,是一个短语吧,类似的还有hundreds of 意思是成百的.前面不能加数词,也就是说two thousands of是错误的,只能单用thousands of some thousands of=many thousands of=thousands of

啥破题目，没头没尾的，你觉得手机是昂贵的吗？我-----，你知道一个通常花费大约1千 ！A C D 都是不可能的 ， 因为都不肯定！则B是语气非常较肯定的，所以应该是B . 但是我还是觉得谁出的这么烂个破题目，真是烂到家了。
我少打了一个S 就是说你觉得苹果的手机贵吗？回答是：一个要花上好几千
都一样的，答案还是B！但是还是觉得题目太白痴了！
