The idea has been devised to make it easy to operate even with one hand.

◆ iPhone 6 Plus can also rotate home screen
Although it is possible to automatically rotate the home screen on the iPad, the iPhone home screen could only be displayed vertically until now.

However, the iPhone 6 Plus is designed to allow automatic rotation of the home screen.

IPhone 6 Plus has a size of 158.1 mm in length × 77.8 mm in width × 7.1 mm in thickness, so it certainly feels as if you are comfortable even if you are holding it sideways. Or familiar as if you have a handheld game machine.


If you want to rotate the Home screen of iPhone 6 Plus, you need to set "Display" in "Screen display and brightness" of "Setting" to "Standard". Be careful as the home screen will not auto rotate if this is "expanded".


◆ Increase application icon and font size
In iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, it is possible to increase the application icon and text size from "Setting" → "screen display and brightness" → "magnify screen display". This is a function that is not available on iPhone 5 and 5s even if updating to iOS 8.

◆ Camera
In iOS 8, a new function is also added to the genuine camera application.


When you start up the camera and tap the screen, you can focus on autofocus, but if the subject is in focus, a yellow sun mark like the red frame appears on the screen.


After swiping the screen up and down after this is displayed, you can adjust it to your favorite brightness.



The camera application adjusts the brightness automatically when focusing, this is a picture when shooting with auto.


When it is made dark this way.


It is too bright and it will fly out white. Since the subject tends to get dark by the way when taking pictures with backlight, it is a function that seems to be useful in scenes that can not be compensated with such automatic adjustment.


You can check how the brightness is being adjusted while actually photographing with the camera in the following movie.
