Apple's iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus use H.265 codec for FaceTime over cellular

While Apple's new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have attracted attention for their new form factors and fancy Retina HD shows, the gadgets feature significant under-the-hood improvements, such as assistance for the highly effective H.265 movie codec. As seen on Apple's iPhone technical specifications web site, both the iPhone 6 and its larger iPhone 6 Plus brother make use of next-generation H.265 technology, also known as High Performance Video Programming (HEVC), for development and understanding FaceTime movie phone calls over mobile. The mobile phones also assistance the mature H.264 standard first championed by The apple company with heritage gadgets like the The apple company TV and third-generation iPad.

According to Matthew Fleming, an professional in the field of alerts handling who identified the new iPhone 6 function, H.265 guarantees to provide movie quality similar to H.264 AVC at only half the bit rate. This results in a large expense decrease much needed in limited data systems like mobile systems.

"This has the potential to give The apple company a serious advantage in the mobile movie contacting sector where data transfer useage is at a top quality," Fleming said.

Exactly how The apple company is applying H.265 is unidentified at this time, but considering the function is limited to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, some think the new A8 SoC has a specific encoder/decoder component not present in mature gadgets. Further, Fleming points out that while Mac pcs have the handling power to run software-based H.265 encoder/decoder alternatives, portables usually require components incorporation.
