iPad Air 2 vs iPhone 6 Camera Comparison: How Much has Apple Improved the Camera?

By Rich W Woods

On October 16, 2014, Apple announced the iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 3, Retina iMac, and Mac Mini. While there were no improvements to the iPad Mini line aside from Touch ID, the iPad Air 2 was just the opposite. For the first time, Apple used 2 GB RAM and a triple core processor in a device. Compared to other iOS devices, this thing is a powerhouse.

There is one more notable improvement that Apple made to the iPad Air 2. They gave it an 8 MP camera, where the iPad previously had 5 MP. There is still no flash.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs iPhone 6 Plus Camera Comparison: Clash of the Titans

By Rich W Woods

By no means is the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 going to be the best phone this year and by no means does the iPhone 6 Plus have the best specs this year, but they do have one thing in common: they will both get the most media attention of any phone this year.

If there are two groups of fans that hate each other, it’s Apple fans and Samsung fans. It’s “we did it first” verses “we did it right”. It’s super power verses seamless experience. It is the clash of the titans.

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact vs iPhone 6 Camera Comparison: Apples and Androids

By Rich W Woods

I have been spending a lot of time with the Sony Xperia Z3 and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact as of late. They are both a pleasure to use. In fact, I’ve developed a bit of a preference for the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. While I intend to compare the Sony Xperia Z3, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to all of the competing phones that I have in stock right now, for some reason it seemed proper to start the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact with a comparison with the iPhone 6.

The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact blows away the specs of the iPhone 6 in every way. That being said, the cameras are comparable. You have to understand that megapixels don’t matter. After all, a 4K display is 8.3 MP, so the iPhone 6’s 8 MP camera won’t make a difference with a 20.7 MP photo taken with the Xperia Z3 Compact. In fact, I have used 8 MP photos taken with the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact for the purpose of this comparison.

iPhone 6 vs Nokia Lumia 635 Camera Comparison: Similar Specs, Different Price Part 2

By Rich W Woods

Earlier today, I wrote a comparison of the Moto G and the iPhone 6. After all, they have almost identical specs but that price is vastly different. The specs between the Nokia Lumia 635 and the iPhone 6 are a little less similar than the iPhone 6 and the Moto G, but they’re still pretty close.

Note that iOS is built for the iPhone, so it doesn’t require as much power as Windows Phone or Android does, so a high end iPhone has lower specs than a mid-range Android or Windows Phone.

Moto G vs iPhone 6 Camera Comparison: Same Specs, Different Price

By Rich W Woods

In the case of hardware, the Moto G and the iPhone 6 are actually very similar phones. The Moto G uses a 1.2 GHz quad core processor while the iPhone 6 uses a 1.4 GHz dual core processor. They both use 8 MP cameras. The iPhone 6 comes in 4.7″ and 5.5″ while the Moto G comes in right in between the two iPhones at 5″.

There are some major differences between the Moto G and the iPhone 6. For one, the Moto G costs $179 and the iPhone 6 costs $649. Here, we will take a look at which has the better camera.

I have already compared the Moto X to the Moto G and I have already compared the iPhone 6 to the Moto X, so there is not much to talk about the Moto X here.

iPhone 6 Plus vs iPhone 6 vs iPhone 5S: Focus Pixels and Frame Rates: How Much did Apple Improve the Camera?

By Rich W Woods

I have been spending a lot of time with the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. It is completely fair to say that this is the biggest advancement in the history of the iPhone. So far, I have compared it to the OnePlus One, HTC One M8, Nokia Lumia 1020, Moto X, and I even compared the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 6 Plus to see what optical image stabilization is all about,

The original iPhone and the iPhone 3G used 2 MP cameras. The iPhone 3GS used a 3.15 MP camera and the iPhone 4 used a 5 MP camera. Ever since then, they used an 8 MP camera. With the iPhone 5, they introduced a sapphire lens. With the iPhone 5S, they introduced true tone flash.

Now, we have the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus which use focus pixels. At the end of the day, they still use an 8 MP rear camera and a 1.2 MP front camera. So how much of an improvement is there? Let’s find out.

Moto X vs iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Camera Comparison

By Rich W Woods

The hot new iPhones are here right along with the hot new Android phone. On September 5, Motorola announced the second generation Moto X and on September 9, Apple announced the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.

We all know that an iPhone release gets more press than any blockbuster movie does in a year. Because of this, the Moto X may be overlooked, which is a huge mistake by any potential smart phone buyer. The Moto X will be the best Android phone to be released this year.

This will be my fourth camera comparison of the iPhone 6 Plus. I have already compared it to the OnePlus One, HTC One M8, and Nokia Lumia 1020. This will be a big one. After all, the others are flagship competitors, but the iPhone 6 and the Moto X are both hot off the presses.

iPhone 6 Camera Review

By Rich W Woods

If you follow this web site, you know that when the iPhone 6 came out, I mainly focused on the iPhone 6 Plus. It appeared to be the one that everyone wanted, they generally have the same specs, and there’s only a couple minor differences between the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. This was a mistake. These are both two great phones, but different phones that have two different use cases.

I made that point clear when I wrote my first impressions of the iPhone 6. It is stunningly light and thin. I would go so far as to say that it is the greatest advance in Apple’s line of iPhones to date.

So far, I’ve compared the iPhone 6 Plus to the Nokia Lumia 1020, HTC One M8, OnePlus One, and iPhone 6.

So let’s dive into the camera.

iPhone 6 Plus vs Nokia Lumia 1020: Camera Comparison

By Rich W Woods

The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus gets more press than any movie does and for good reason. Despite a bad software update to iOS 8.0.1 and the ability for some to bend their iPhone 6 Pluses, they are both fantastic phones. Because of this, I promised to compare the camera of the iPhone 6 Plus to its competitors: the HTC One M8, the OnePlus One, the Nokia Lumia 1020, the Moto X, and the older iPhone 5S. I even did one comparing the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 6 Plus to see just what optical image stabilization provides.

Here, we will compare the iPhone 6 Plus and the Nokia Lumia 1020.

What are you really Missing with Optical Image Stabilization on the iPhone 6?

By Rich W Woods

I gave up ten hours of my life sitting in line to buy the iPhone 6 Plus. One thing was clear while I was there: everyone wanted the iPhone 6 Plus and no one wanted the iPhone 6. This may be due to the iPhone 6 Plus being in short supply and the high percentage of people there that were strictly there to buy an iPhone that they could resell.

There is another reason for it though. iPhone users are a special kind of breed. Take a look at Nokia. The highest selling Windows Phone is the Nokia Lumia 520 by far, a low end model that sells for around $50 unlocked.
