In terms of design, each model has notable characteristics. For iPhone models, the camera is arranged in a square arrangement at the top left of the back of the device, an arrangement followed in previous generations. The design is elegant with titanium frames for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max and aluminum frames for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro Max, highlighting their modern elegance. The Honor Magic6 Pro, for its part, opts for a large circle centered at the back, bordered by a gilded coating of faux leather, reminiscent of the aesthetic of luxury watchmaking.
In terms of the side profile, the iPhone 14 and 15 stick to flat edges while the Honor Magic6 Pro has a curved design on the sides. In terms of colours, iPhones offer a palette ranging from black to white, with brighter accents like blue or yellow, while Honor features classic black or textured green.
Dimensions vary slightly between these models. The Honor Magic6 Pro is the largest (162.5×75.8×8.9mm) and heaviest (229g), offering a 6.8-inch display. The smallest and lightest is the iPhone 14 (146.6 x 71.5 x 7.8 mm, 172 grams), with a 6.1-inch display. Despite the generational difference, the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max share a similar niche, with the 14 Pro Max being slightly thicker but also slightly heavier (240g versus 221g for the 15 Pro Max).
What are the compositions for taking portraits and portraits in general?
The iPhone 15 Pro Max, 15 Pro, 14 Pro Max and 14 are equipped with a 12-megapixel selfie sensor. This sensor offers advanced features such as optical stabilization in Pro models, allowing for clear images even while in motion. However, the Honor Magic6 Pro stands out the most thanks to the presence of a 50MP selfie sensor, which is much higher in terms of resolution. This sensor allows for highly detailed shots, making this smartphone particularly attractive to those looking to take high-quality selfies, whether for professional uses or for social media.
The Magic6 Pro has been voted the best camera phone in the world by independent tester DxOMark, at the time of writing, not just for selfies but also for photos in general.
What is the best screen for enjoying selfies and which is the most powerful?
All models, except the iPhone 14, benefit from a 120Hz refresh rate, enabling impressively smooth browsing and scrolling, which is essential for a modern user experience. The iPhone 14 remains at 60Hz, which may be less ideal for smooth animations, but is still sufficient for standard daily use.
In terms of display technology, all smartphones in comparison use AMOLED displays, known for deep blacks and energy efficiency. The screen size varies slightly, as the Honor Magic6 Pro phone leads with a 6.8-inch screen, followed by the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch screen. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 14 offer slightly smaller 6.1-inch displays.
Maximum brightness is another important aspect, especially in bright outdoor conditions. The iPhones offer an impressive peak brightness of 2000 cd/m2, while the Honor Magic6 Pro also delivers a respectable performance of 1600 cd/m2.
In terms of performance, the iPhone 15 Pro Max and 15 Pro use the latest Apple A17 Pro processor, with 8GB of RAM. The 14 Pro Max and 14 models use A16 and A15 processors respectively, with 6GB of RAM as well.
Equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and 12GB of RAM, the Honor Magic6 Pro promises competitive performance.
