The iPhone 6 Plus is no slouch in that department either - with its A8 processor, 5.5-inch 1080p screen.It’s brilliant that Apple has split its strategy here - by adding a 1920 x 1080 screen to the iPhone 6 Plus it’s shown that this isn’t simply a blown-up version of the iPhone 6. It’s a powerful tool in its own right, and it gives an even greater impression when looking at the pin sharp graphics.
Like the iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus has an 8MP sensor with improved iSight and the ability to record in 240fps slo-mo, and it’s a very adept camera at that, with the larger screen providing a very good viewfinder without straying into tablet territory
I get the feeling the iPhone 6 Plus won’t even come close to the sales of the iPhone 6 in the Western world, being seen as a bit too big compared to the compact pocketability of the smaller new model.
But this won’t bother Apple as long as it does well in other markets, where big screens are king. And the iPhone 6 Plus is still a very good device in its own right, it just depends on whether you want you phone to have as large a display as possible.
With tweaks like optical image stablisation, it’s a really good device in its own right. It’s certainly not just a bigger iPhone 6.
If you do opt for iPhone 6 Plus, though, it’s well worth considering Apple’s leather case. It adds very little bulk and provides a super grippy surface to ensure you don’t fumble your phone. The larger phone is little slippery thanks to its curved corners and greater width.
