iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Examined



More often than not, we have grown very attached to our phones. They have seamlessly integrated themselves into our lives – sometimes without us even noticing.

Some can’t remember life before the iPhone and others remember the old days where you would have to find a phone box to call home.

For pretty much everything we require there is an app for that. From fitness and health, to flight check –in and personal finance.

Now the time is approaching or has come for you to upgrade your phone. And from what you can tell, the main difference between the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is the size. Unfortunately this is where you are wrong. The obvious difference is indeed the size, but there are other main differences so we’ve put together for a few highlights for your reference when it comes to choosing between the two.

Size
We have already established there is a noticeable size difference between the two phones; it’s either a blessing or a curse – depending on your view of Phablets in general.

So let’s get down to business.

The measurements are as follows:

Battery
As expected the iPhone 5 Plus packs a much larger battery due to needing to be able to power its larger screen. 

Talk time on the 6: 14 hours on 3G. iPhone 6 Plus: 24 hours 3G

Internet usage on the 6: Up to 10 hours on 3G and up to 11 hours on Wi-Fi. iPhone 6 Plus: Up to 12 hours on 3G and up to 12 hours on Wi-Fi

Video playback on the 6: Up to 11 hours. iPhone 6 Plus: Up to 14 hours

Audio playback on the 6: Up to 50 hours. iPhone 6 Plus: Up to 80 hours

Looking at the details above, if you are a power user then your best bet would be to pick the iPhone 6 Plus.

Camera
The iPhone 6 will be easier to handle in one hand than the 6 Plus but with the larger screen on the 6 Plus, there will be more viewfinder screen space.

Both phones feature the same camera lines – an 8 megapixel shooter (just like the iPhone 5S, but features an improved f/2.2 aperture so your pictures are always going to look better in all conditions.
