The good The iPhone 6 delivers a spacious, crisp 4.7-inch screen, improved wireless speeds, better camera autofocus, and bumped-up storage capacities to 128GB at the top end. iOS remains a top-notch mobile operating system with an excellent ecosystem of apps, and Apple Pay is a smooth, secure payment system.
The bad Battery life isn’t much better than it is on last year’s iPhone 5S. And there’s wasted space: an even larger screen could have been squeezed into the same housing.
The bottom line The iPhone 6 is an exceptional phone in nearly every way except its average battery life: it’s thin, fast, and features the excellent iOS operating system. It was the best overall phone introduced in 2014.
