There is no official IMAX 06 product or standard. The term likely stems from:
If you can provide additional context (movie title, camera name, software version, or military/aerospace IMAX?), I’d be happy to give you an even more precise, complete article.
Occasionally, forum posts or non-English sources confuse:
For the average moviegoer, a scratch is a scratch. For an IMAX projectionist, scratches on an "IMAX 06" print are a catastrophe, but scratches on a standard print are just wear.
The "06" stock had a unique matte coating. Unlike glossy stocks that create blinding hot spots in the projector gate, the 06 matte finish allowed for a higher contrast ratio. In technical terms:
If you ever saw The Dark Knight or Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in a true 70mm IMAX theater (not the digital "LieMAX"), you were almost certainly watching an IMAX 06 print.
Verdict: A pioneer that changed smartphone design, now officially retired.
The iPhone 6, released in 2014, was a watershed moment for Apple. It marked the death of the small screen and the birth of the modern smartphone form factor we know today. However, reviewing it in the present day requires looking at it through the lens of nostalgia and utility, as it has aged significantly.
As of 2026 (the time of this writing), the term IMAX 06 is at a crossroads. On one track, it is a dead technical spec—a relic of chemical engineering. On the other track, it is being revived by preservationists.
The "IMAX 06" spiritual successor is actually IMAX Digital Laser with GT lenses, but purists argue that digital "1.43:1" projection lacks the "warmth" and "depth" of the 06 emulsion.
Why does this matter? Because the keyword "IMAX 06" is currently being searched by two very distinct groups:
If you are a content creator or a cinema marketer, understanding this duality is key. If you sell film strips, highlight the "06" chemical makeup. If you sell speakers, highlight the "IMAX reference level" and the "6-foot rule."
The iPhone 6 shipped with the A8 chip and, critically, only 1GB of RAM.
