Software & Performance
The device runs on the Apple iOS 8 which can be further upgraded to iOS 9.3.2, which adds a number of functionality and further improves the performance of the device. The iOS 8 adds some new features such as adding voice to text messages, choosing from third-party keyboards, track heart-rate and other fitness parameters, act on notifications without leaving an app, and sync the iPhone with the iPads and Macs. You could also browse through the 1,300,000 app options that are available in the App Store. iOS 8 is much more customisable when compared to earlier iterations, and you immediately get the feeling that the software ties in with the hardware’s ability to redefine the iPhone line. Customisable keyboards, allowing you to install Fleksy or Swiftkey, are welcome additions that have long been requested by users. The Apple iPhone 6 is powered by Apple A8 chipset with dual-core 1.4GHz Cyclone (ARM v8-based) processor. There is also a PowerVR GX6450 (quad-core graphics) for gaming. The device performs on-par with almost all the smartphone devices in market with its smooth animations and seamless multitasking, thanks to the ultra-efficient iOS and powerful hardware.
