The iPhone 6 camera compared to its predecessors: how it has evolved

iPhone 6 rear gold

On September 9, Apple presented the iPhone 6 and confirmed that the new terminal would continue with a camera with 8 megapixel sensor, something that was criticized from different sectors. However, and it is something that Apple has defended in recent years, the quality of the camera is not measured by the number of megapixels, and they announced that the component brought enough improvements that would make it possible to notice an important advance in the quality of the photographs that will be captured.

These news are the new sensor iSight, an aperture of 2.2 and a "real tone flash" that as you can see in the images below, it really seems to have worked. As for video recording, they have also doubled the speed of autofocus and it will be possible to record in slow motion at 120 FPS and 240 FPS.

Comparing the results obtained with the iPhone 6 with those offered by its predecessors makes it clear that this is the best camera that Apple has mounted on one of its smartphones. In general terms, the evolution of the component year after year is significant, even when, like this year, it has not represented a higher figure in megapixels. Lisa bettany has been the photographer in charge of gathering a wide image gallery taken in very different situations with each of the 8 iPhone models presented to date.

You can check, the iPhone 6 shows superior to the iPhone 5s, iPhone 5, iPhone 4s and company in practically all variants. As expected, there are times of the day or places where the differences are very evident and others (for example with good lighting conditions) where in principle they should not be so great, but a progression is still noticeable. Funny to see how we have gone from the first to the last image in just a few years.

As the photographer explains, the iPhone 6 achieves a detail amazing (picture of strawberries mostly). Another aspect where Apple's work is noticeable is in situations with high contrast and above all in conditions of low luminosity, where the iPhone 6 uncovers some of the tweaks introduced by the company. Colors, brighter and more faithful to reality (for example in the portrait) and an improved white balance are other aspects that you should pay attention to.
