If you are going to buy an iPhone in the secondary market, and before you didn’t deal with Apple technology at all, don’t be lazy and study the visual differences between Apple smartphone models. So you will immediately understand which iPhone is in front of you and not a single seller will fool you.

Most often there is confusion with the so-called "esks", which come out after global updates smartphone. They have a very similar appearance to the previous model.

Let's start with the most common models on our market, with which every third walks. Earlier devices are not as common.

iPhone 5/ iPhone 5s/ iPhone SE

Many Internet sites are literally packed with these 4-inch iPhones. Outwardly, they are quite easy to distinguish, but you need to know what to look at. It is on such devices that scammers try to deceive buyers by passing off an older iPhone 5 as an iPhone 5s or an “esque” as an iPhone SE.

The screen size, dimensions, color and weight of the devices are almost the same. Of course, the iPhone 5 was not sold in gold, and the 5s in rose gold, but the craftsmen from Gorbushka will be able to install any color case on the desired model, so you should not rely on the color.

Storage capacity: iPhone 5 16/32/64 GB, iPhone 5s 16/32/64 GB, iPhone SE 16/32/64/128 GB.

Model number: iPhone 5 A1428, A1429, A1442, iPhone 5s A1453, A1457, A1518, A1528, A1530, A1533, iPhone SE A1723, A1662, A1724.

How to tell iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s apart

The main difference between the iPhone 5 is the lack of a Touch ID sensor. The Home button has an icon and does not recognize fingerprints. This can be seen both externally and by the absence of the Touch ID section in the settings.

Another telling moment is the flash on the back of the device. The older model has a round flash, while the iPhone 5s has an oval one with two LEDs.

How to tell the difference between iPhone 5s and iPhone SE

This often comes across even the owners of Apple technology with experience. Externally, the models are almost indistinguishable.

Some see more beveled edges on the ends of the SE model, but the change is hard to see even in direct comparison, so don't rely on it.

The main indicator for us is the marking on the back cover. The new iPhone has an “SE” index there. Bearing in mind the possibility of replacing the case, do not forget to check the model number in the settings of the device itself.

iPhone 5c

A bright plastic case immediately distinguishes a more affordable smartphone from the three previous models.

Storage capacity: 8/16/32 GB.

Model number: A1456, A1507, A1516, A1529, A1532.

iPhone 6/ iPhone 6s

Here lies another potential scam. Often, they try to pass off the “six” as an “esque” and add an extra 8-10 thousand to the price of the device.

The models can be distinguished from each other by the back cover. The newer iPhone 6s has an "S" on the back, back in iPhone lineup 6s have rose gold color.

Again, we do not trust the appearance alone, we check the model number in the settings and the presence of 3D Touch in the iPhone 6s (you need to press hard on the application icons to bring up an additional menu).

Storage capacity: iPhone 6 16/64/128 GB, iPhone 6S 16/32/64/128 GB.

Model number: iPhone 6 A1549, A1586, A1589, iPhone 6S A1633, A1688, A1700.

iPhone 6 Plus/ iPhone 6s Plus

Apple phablets have the largest 5.5-inch display in Apple's lineup. The case is larger than conventional 6/6s (158.1x77.8x7.1mm vs. 138.1x67x6.9mm).

The models differ from each other, like the previous ones, by the markings on the rear panel.

Storage capacity: iPhone 6 Plus 16/64/128 GB, iPhone 6s Plus 16/32/64/128 GB.

Model number: iPhone 6 Plus A1522, A1524, A1593, iPhone 6S Plus A1634, A1687, A1699.

iPhone 7/ iPhone 7 Plus

Apple showed off the iPhone 7 last year, and there are quite a few visual differences. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack at the bottom of the case. From the back, the models can be recognized by the size of the camera module and the antenna stripes on the top and bottom.

There are three new colors in the iPhone 7 color line: onyx black, matte black and red.

Storage capacity: 32/128/256 GB.

Model number: iPhone 7 A1660, A1778, A1779, iPhone 7 Plus A1661, A1784, A1785.

Remember that iPhone cases are easy to change, and China has long been producing different covers in the style of new models for older iPhones. Visual differences will only help you navigate, and to accurately identify the model, look for its number on the back cover, box and in the iOS settings ( Settings - General - About this device).

Now you can safely go to our Flea Market and choose your new iPhone.

The frenzied hype for the purchase of the flagships of the American company Apple - iPhone 6 and 6 plus slept a little. Users no longer row everything in a row, available products, but purposefully choose the most suitable option for themselves. And in addition to thinking about which model is better - 6 or 6 plus, you need to decide on the choice of color.

However, Apple is not particularly - then it indulges consumers with the coloristic variety of its gadgets. The color scheme of the case of the new iPhone is limited to three, which have already become traditional, options: space gray, gold and gray, which are offered by the manufacturer for the second year in a row.

iPhone color - the pain of choice

But even such a meager amount makes many people think: “What color of the iPhone case is better for yourself?”. As practice shows, there is no single answer. It all depends solely on the future owner and his preferences. And you also need to say thank you to Apple for having to choose one of the three.

First of all, it is worth noting that the gold and "silver" cases, both in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, have a white front panel, and the "space gray" case is black. Omitting moments like: “black color is most suitable for boys, and golden for girls”, let's dwell on the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Black is always relevant!

It is clear that the iPhone in black (more precisely, in black plus dark gray) is a classic that has been and will be relevant, because of its versatility and practicality. It looks spectacular and stylish, and therefore Apple decided to choose it to represent the entire line in the promotional company.

Also, plus everything, the image on the display, thanks to the dark frames, is clearly shaded and seems even more contrasting and bright. This moment is especially noticeable on the big screen of the iPhone 6 plus.

In "silver" or "gold" - the iPhone is always in great shape.

The advantage of the silver case is that it is not painted - it's just native solid aluminum with a transparent coating, when scratched, the color does not change, and damage will not be so noticeable. What can not be said about the other two options. Although the cases of the new iPhone 6 and 6 plus now have a special anodized finish, which involves deep penetrating painting. This means that Apple gadgets will remain unchanged for a long time, and the colors of the coatings will not wear off over time.

On the gold or silver color of the case, smudges and fingerprints are traditionally less visible. As you can see in the picture below, they are only visible on the shiny Apple logo and the surrounding panel is clean.

But on black, it is not conspicuous, inevitably appearing during operation, dust and dirt that accumulates in the sides around the display and the Touch ID key.

In general, the black iPhone visually looks monolithic. All working holes and buttons are clearly not visible on it, and there is an illusion that it is better protected. And in white, all the elements mentioned above are contrast-graded, and when the monitor is dead, it sometimes looks broken.

Color is not important

As you can see, Apple does not strive for color verification of its products, all the devices it offers already fly apart in an instant. The subjective and minor differences listed above do not affect the functionality and uninterrupted operation of the iPhone 6 and 6 plus.

By and large, you most likely will not see the colors of the rear panel. Since to protect such an expensive gadget, you will definitely get a protective case. Moreover, the cases of both models are overly streamlined and smooth, and therefore simply slip out of the hands. This is especially true for the overall iPhone 6 plus. And the use of a cover makes the original color not so important.

Although, in essence, it's all a matter of taste. So just choose the one you like best, and don't worry about how it will behave during operation, or what others will say.

The concept of unoriginality will inevitably cause an unhealthy smirk on the face of even an ordinary user, to say nothing of a real genuine disgust in a pedantic perfectionist. Nevertheless, the modern “devil is not as scary as it is painted” - high-quality replicas have every right to exist. This is especially true in cases where there is no original alternative, which almost all users of Apple's mobile electronics have encountered. In this material, all the "i" will be dotted for those who have decided to replace - pitfalls and possible problems.

So what is the difference between the original iPhone 6 case and the non-original one?

General appearance outside

The general appearance of the original case for the iPhone 6 and the non-original outside is almost identical. In the second case, the plastic separating the antenna blocks in the presented case is black, but it can also be white - like on the original silver case. The junction of plastic and aluminum is pleasant to the touch. Finding the difference between an original iPhone 6 case and a non-original one will be very difficult.

General appearance inside

In the inner part of the non-original case for the iPhone 6, hidden from the user's eyes, the differences are much more noticeable. An experienced craftsman will immediately notice a slightly carelessly poured plastic and a difference in the operation of the CNC machine. However, these visual differences will definitely not affect the operation of the device as a whole - you can be sure of that.

Shiny border - facet - on the holes of the speakers and microphone

On closer examination, you can notice that, unlike the original iPhone 6 case, the non-original one does not have shiny edges - facets - on the speaker and microphone holes.

Foam seals

The non-original case for the iPhone 6 lacks foam seals, including the one that protects the camera from dust. All of them are transferred by an experienced craftsman from the original case when replacing. The flash in the color housing in Chinese is fixed with a couple of dots of glue.

Holes for buttons and SIM card holder

The holes for the buttons and the SIM card holder in the non-original iPhone 6 case are almost perfect, including the facets. The buttons in them move as smoothly and pleasantly as possible - that is why you can hear the very “correct” click.

Apple logo

The Apple logo is the most significant difference between the non-original iPhone 6 case and the original one - it can sink or bulge slightly above the surface. Such defects are corrected as much as possible by the masters of the EtoService company during replacement. Over the many years of practice of the specialists of our service center, a logo perfectly made by the Chinese has not yet been seen - the only exception can be the products of the Foxconn factory, whose employees are engaged in the production of all components for the iPhone. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the original cases for the iPhone 6 often contain such defects, which can be considered the norm for such a technology for fixing the logo in the case.

inscriptions

The inscriptions on the bottom of the non-original case for the iPhone 6 are made in the same way as the original solution - they are made with a laser and contain the name of the phone, which, of course, differs from the custom one. The biggest difference in the execution of the inscriptions is the font used.

Camera hole

The camera hole in the non-original iPhone 6 case has the necessary facet, but it differs from the original solution in color. There is no oleophobic coating on the glass used to protect the camera, so you will have to wipe it more often.

measurements

The dimensions of the non-original iPhone 6 case repeat the original solution by 99.98%, which is its undoubted advantage. The width of the colored body is 67.012 mm - the difference reaches a negligible value of 0.017%. The thickness of aluminum is 0.7 mm - there is no difference at all, so the non-original case has the same strength and rigidity.

Thus, non-original colored cases for iPhone 6, which are used by our company's specialists for replacement, do not have significant differences and are suitable for use - in comparison with the original ones, they can be rated at 8/10. However, it should be noted that non-original cases can differ significantly, depending on the manufacturer. All factory replacement cases are meticulously checked by our service workers. Of the last batch of 100 pieces received, 79 were sent back - the rest were as close to the original as possible.

Advantages	Flaws
The general appearance from the outside is identical	The general appearance inside has a number of differences
Perfect holes for buttons including facets	Lack of shiny facet borders on speaker and microphone openings
Presence of a camera facet	No foam seals
Nearly perfect size match.	Far from perfect logo fixation
A wide variety of colors available	No oleophobic coating on the protective glass of the camera

So, you've decided to buy an iPhone 6, but you can't decide on a color. Which is more practical, which is more elegant, which is the most representative? This article is designed to help you determine which iPhone 6 color is right for you. Note that this line of color solutions is also used on new iPhones of all subsequent series, so you can, based on this article, choose the best color for a new generation Apple smartphone.

Color options

There are 3 patented color schemes in the Apple line today:

1. Space Gray - dark gray, closer to black.
2. White Silver - light gray, closer to white.
3. Gold - golden color with white accents.

Note

Each of the colors complements each other, three multi-colored iPhone 6 look very harmonious. It should be noted that the color "Space Gray" is used by the developers for the first time - it's all about the complaints of black iPhone 5 users. The fact is that on black iPhones, the scratches received during the use of the phone were most visible.

"White Silver" and "Gold" have been improved and become less contrast than on the iPhone 5, but this gave some high cost to the resulting options. Now let's talk about each color separately and try to choose the best one for you.

Space Gray - gray space

Let's start with Apple's innovation - the gray color of the iPhone 6. Of course, it suits men more than women. However, if you are a woman who likes dark chocolate instead of white, and if you like to ride a motorcycle with a breeze, Space Gray is your choice too. The nature of personal belongings determines the character of the owner, as many designers say.

By the way, the color of the iPhone 6 case "Gray space" as an excellent replacement for a simple black color was appreciated by many world critics. This color looks more presentable, businesslike, inspires confidence. A black iPhone 6 wouldn't look so amazing, because the phone itself has a large body and in black would look more like a tablet than a phone, so gray looks very harmonious here. In addition, the front panel of the mobile device remained black, and already on the case cover itself, it smoothly turns into gray. Fans of constantly holding the phone in their hands, this color is the most suitable - on the "Gray Space" fingerprints and scratches are almost imperceptible, which suggests its success in sales. For the same reason, we advise you to buy this color if you are going to give a gift to a child. Children often drop the phone and generally use it more often.

White Silver - white silver

Let's smoothly move from black to white, having analyzed another color scheme from Apple - "White Silver". This color has already been used in the previous model, and it has proven itself very well. His trump card is that he suits both girls and men equally. Usually, if the phone is white, it means female, but here things are not quite like that. The colors of the iPhone 6 case have never been very bright, and this one is even more so - not white, but not dark either. Although lovers are strictly white color fits perfectly. That's the whole compromise.

Do you love white? Take it "White Silver". In the hands of a girl, he looks feminine, and in the hands of a man - light and wise, no matter how strange it may sound. Apple iPhone 6 case front panel colors white snow still remained, so the aesthetes will be satisfied. When using "White Silver", a small number of scratches and chips remain, while an ordinary white color would immediately show all the delights of a mobile device that fell to the floor.

The iPhone 6 plus in White Silver looks the most remarkable all because of the same size: the metallic sheen makes the big phone very beautiful and inflates its price. We recommend purchasing a transparent case if you are going to buy a white iPhone - a metal cover harmonizes best with this kind of cases.

Gold - golden iPhone

Gold color has always been the color of wealth and prosperity. Apple also took advantage of this. iPhone 6 in gold color will first of all appeal to lovers of luxurious life, both girls and men. iPhone in gold color immediately turns into a very high-status phone. Subconsciously, people already understand that the iPhone itself is a high-quality and expensive product that needs no introduction. But you always want to look a little higher in rank, even among iPhone users. By the way, you will have to pay a little for the gold-colored iPhone 6 more money than for a similar device of a different tone. So, without exaggeration, we can say: you have to pay for luxury.

The front panel is made in white, exactly the same as in the "White Silver" version, but the distinguishing point is that a white frame runs along the bottom of the phone on the back of the case: it looks like it sticks out a little, but in reality it is firmly fixed into the case, and the iPhone is still monolithic. The button is also gold-plated (in other solutions, the button is silver).

Pre-orders for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus began at 23:01 on September 12, sales in retail centers will start from September 25.

If you're looking to buy a new iPhone, you need to do so quickly. We offer brief recommendations that will help you sell your old iPhone and buy a new one.

Do you really neediPhone 6 soriPhone 6 s Plus?

First of all, ask yourself if you really need an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus. If you already have an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, then there is no point in updating it. If you have an iPhone 4s, hopefully your payment card is ready. iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus include compelling upgrades: an improved A9 processor, a 12-megapixel camera, a new 3D Touch screen, always-on Siri, and more.

What to choose: iPhone 6soriPhone 6s Plus?

If you decide to upgrade your phone, decide which iPhone you choose. Will it be a smaller device - iPhone 6s with a 4.7-inch display, or a larger one - 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus. iPhone 6s comes with additional features such as Image Stabilizer and improved landscape mode to encourage you to choose a larger model.

Think carefully: a large iPhone is good for watching movies and using navigation, but in this format the phone is difficult to carry. The iPhone 6s strikes a fine line between size and usability: it has a screen big enough to surf the web, but you can still text with one hand and slip it into your pocket with ease.

What color to buyiPhone 6 s?

We are accustomed to three color options - "gold", silver and gray-space (Space Gray). Apple developers have added a fourth color - rose gold. iPhone in "gold" or rose gold case is designed for those who want to stand out from the crowd. If you like to play games and look at photos on your iPhone, take the iPhone in black, as the black frame highlights the quality of the graphic content. If you want to hide scratches and make your iPhone look light, choose a silver color. Not sure what case color you want, and if you put your iPhone in a case anyway, buy in the color that is available.

What amount of memory to choose: 16, 64 or 128 GB?

The next important point after the color and cost of the phone is the amount of memory. Given the ability to record 4K video on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, we would advise users not to buy the 16GB iPhone. Add $100 and buy the 64GB model and you won't run out of memory. If you have a huge media library, store everything on your iPhone, use offline maps and navigation in abundance, add another $100 and buy an iPhone with 128 GB of storage. In this model, you won't even fill all the memory.

Where to sell your currentiPhone?

The best place to sell your phone is on eBay, if you are not afraid of shipping difficulties and the possibility of fraud. Maximum amount you will receive money for your iPhone on eBay or Avito. The Avitot service does not require payment. Meet the buyer, exchange your iPhone for money and leave. Only the exchange is better to carry out in a crowded place and take one more person with you. Finally, you can sell your iPhone through Apple or Amazon retailers.
