Here's our breakdown of everything you need to know about the iPhone 6 Plus.
Pros: The iPhone 6 Plus, with its thin and stylish design, is the best looking smartphone, or "phablet", to have come out of Apple's stables. The 5.5-inch display with high resolution Retina HD display is truly gorgeous. Apple has also been able to squeeze in a far larger battery than iPhone 6 with very powerful performance. The phone comes with a superior camera equipped with optical image stabilization, which improves low-light photography.
Cons: Priced above even the usual premium segment, the new iPhone 6 plus is very expensive. Since it's more of a 'phablet', the phone is quite big to use with one hand. Some common features like water resistance and wireless charging are still missing. A protective case is a must since aluminium has been used for the body. The phone also has a slightly projecting rear camera. While your device probably won't bend, you wouldn't want to risk putting it in your back pocket.
Specs: The iPhone 6 Plus comes with 5.5 inches, 1080 x 1920 pixels display and 8 MP camera. It has a 2915 mAh battery, which offers up to 384 h (3G) standby and up to 24 h (3G) talk time, and 16/64/128 GB, 1 GB RAM memory.
Talking Points: Apple continues to deliver small updates. The iOS 8 release in September 2014 brought a number of exciting features to the iPhone 6 Plus, and iOS 8.1 added Apple Pay soon after. The iPhone 6 Plus is going to stick to iOS 8.1.3 until at least March 2015. While the bend-gate scandal (earlyclaims that the phones were bending) created an uproar, it was blown quite out of proportion and is not a major concern since a lot of force is required for the device to actually bend.
Prices: SIM-free, the16GB iPhone 6 Plus carries a lofty price tag of $749, with the 64GB variant priced at $849 and a newly introduced 128GB model priced at $949. All carriers offer a two-year contract for the 16GB variant for $299.
Conclusion: If you are looking for quality, Apple is the perfect place to find it. The iPhone 6 Plus is the best iPhone ever made and if it fits your budget, it is sure to please lovers of Apple's ecosystem.
