![]() But if you’re upgrading from an older device, like perhaps the iPhone 4 or 4S, you’re going to instantly take note of just how speedy everything is with this new processor architecture. If you’re new to the world of iOS and iPhone, you’ll probably just note that the performance is excellent and move on. The 64-bit A8 process that Apple has designed, which uses a new, smaller and more power-efficient 20nm process, is more than up to the task of serving up animations, swipes, switches and multitasking for the 6 Plus. the iPhone 6 despite the extra legwork required. The iPhone 6 Plus may be powering a much larger display, and it may need to output content at a higher resolution, but it’s not showing any additional strain vs. Apple has managed to make the very first well-designed smartphone of epic scale, regardless of your thoughts on the merit of the category as a whole. Perforations including the speaker holes on the bottom right are similarly well-executed, and overall the sense you get of the iPhone 6 Plus is one of extreme high quality, which is not something that can be said for the rest of the ‘phablet’ field. The screen is also the star here, and that 5.5-inch high res beauty is set off by thin side bezels, and top and bottom bezels that appear much smaller since they take up a far smaller percentage of the overall front surface of the device.Īttention to detail is Apple’s forte, and that’s apparent in the way the volume keys, relocated power button (it’s on the right side now) and lock switch are all machined. The curved sides make it easier to page back and forth through content with swipes, and it’s easy to imagine how a design with right angles would’ve resulted in an uncomfortable grip with a device this size. Like the iPhone 6, it benefits from rounded edges and smooth surfaces that recall the iPad mini and iPad Air. In terms of carrying and holding the device, the additional size makes for a less ‘perfect’ ergonomic quality, something the iPhone 6 definitely achieves, but there’s still lots to love about the industrial design of the 6 Plus. It’s 0.01-inches thicker, just under half-an inch wider, and just under an inch taller than the iPhone 6, and you’ll notice each of those increases in the hand, including the additional thickness, even if it is just a shade of difference. The iPhone 6 Plus is literally an exaggerated version of the iPhone 6 in terms of its physical design, with dimensions stretched to accommodate its much larger 5.5-inch display.

Since being new to a smart phone, I did ask if 16GB was going to be enough and was assured that it was plenty, obviously NOT! Wish I'd found this article previous to my purchase and before I make my next Apple purchase I will go to straight to the source, initially anyways, an Apple Store. It's all starting to make a little sense now as to why I found this confusing!!! I had been wondering why Apple would have come out with their latest models of iPhone with less storage capacity than their predecessors. Current purchases capped at 16GB or 32GB for 5s and (only) 8GB for the 5c. BIG difference with either!!! I wondered why those that I know still using the 5s seemed to have higher storage capacities and capabilities?! Your article also just told me that the 5 series, originally, had higher capacity options which have since been discontinued. Given the option I would have absolutely chosen more: the 64GB or 128GB. My issue with my purchase after having just read your review and comparisons of the iPhone 6Plus, 6, 5s & 5c is that I had no idea that I had an option of storage capacity higher than the 16GB that mine has. A lap top would be nice anyways, as my current CPU is an old hp running on XP Professional, which I am fond of, but since I am not a Computer Tech Geek. I have been having storage issues and now considering the purchase of a compatible Mac Computer/LapTop to help with this issue. I bought an iPhone 6 from a Canadian Costco with my 1st ever digital package. 29/03/15: Going from a Nokia Flip (I'm of the older generation), I bought my 1st smart phone in November.
