Design of iPhone 6

The design of the iPhone 6 line is influenced by that of the iPad Air, with a glass front that is curved around the edges of the display, and an aluminum rear that contains two plastic strips for the antenna; both models come in gold, silver, and space gray finishes. They also used the new volume buttons used on the iPad Air, unlike the circular volume buttons with the "+" and "-" symbols used on the iPhone 4, 4S, 5, and 5S. (The iPhone 5C used the same volume buttons as the iPad mini.) At its introduction, the new iPhone had been declared the thinnest phone in the world with a larger display; reducing its size from 7.6 mm to 6.9 mm and upgrading the screen size from 4 to 4.7 inches.Even though the phone has slimmed down, it is actually heavier.

The most significant changes to the iPhone 6 line are its displays; both are branded as "Retina HD" and "ion-strengthened". The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are the first iPhones to use a multiple-domain LCD panel, dubbed "dual-domain pixels", and use a modified polarizer that makes the screen easier to see when wearing polarized sunglasses.










To accommodate the larger physical size of the iPhone 6 line, the power button was moved to the side of the phone instead of the top to improve its accessibility. Finally, the design of the iPhone 6 enclosure discontinued the use of squared edges seen on the iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5C, and 5S, and adopted a rounded-edge design like the one on the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and 3GS.
