iPhone 6 Plus Review

  admin

iPhone 6 Plus is another Plus device brought by Apple that has surely added a new turn in appearance of the whole iPhone series . It features the screen size that has never been offered by Apple so far and a design that smartly caters to high-end market. As the market now stays only with big screens and metal designs, the iPhone 6 might seemingly fulfill major expectation. Its original iPhone 6 comes with 4.7 inches display but the Plus offers a bold 5.5 inches 1,920×1,080 IPS (401ppi) display unlike any of its competitors. The iPhone 6 is remarkably larger, amazingly thinner and offer enough battery life as compared to previous iPhones.

Both iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are identical in terms of specs and features. Both pack an A8 64-bit processors with 1GB of RAM and M8 motion coprocessors on board. It has an 8MP rear camera but the shooter on the iPhone 6 Plus benefits from OIS (optical image stabilization) while the iPhone 6 derives it stability from EIS (electronic image stabilization).

It is expensive as compared to its competitors e.g. LG G3, OnePlus One, Nokia Lumia 1520 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Here is full spec sheet of the handset:

The iPhone 6 Plus has same disappointments as that of iPhone 6 i.e. Non-removable battery and no card slot. The other two shortcomings are not easily pocketable and relatively expensive as compared to competition. But as the display offers many things, customers have turned their eyes and ears from the more useful but less glittery things.

The locked 16GB iPhone 6 Plus cost around $749. The 64GB version costs $849 while the 128GB is available at $949.
