The iPhone 6 Plus was released on September 19, 2014 alongside the iPhone 6. The differences between these phones are mainly in screen size and pixel resolution. Some people aren’t sure if this is enough to justify the price increase that comes with buying the iPhone 6 Plus. And even more people wonder if the iPhone 6 plus is superior to other phones on the market. Let’s take a look at what the 6 Plus has to offer.
The iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch diagonal screen. This is very convenient because you never have to worry about having a screen that is too small when it comes to watching videos or looking at pictures. The size isn’t huge either, as you don’t even fit the phone in your pocket. The 6 Plus fits perfectly in your pocket if you’re an average guy who wears skinny jeans. Most of the time you can keep your 6 Plus inside your coat pocket anyway if you live in a colder area where the weather calls for such clothing. One problem regarding the size is that it is difficult to operate the phone with one hand. There’s a one-handed feature that lets you lower half the screen so the icons can be easily reached, but it’s still hard to reach all the way from side to side on the phone if you have average-sized hands. Most of the time you will be using the 6 Plus with two hands, typing with one hand is possible but very slow unless your hands are very large.
Screen resolution looks outstanding on the 6 Plus. When you first pick it up, everything looks very sharp and clear on the screen. By taking proper care of your iPhone, you will be able to enjoy a good display for months to come while using your phone. If you don’t take good care of your iPhone and it accumulates smudges on the screen, then the screen will not look so good.
Setting up the iPhone 6 Plus is very simple. iOS in general is very easy to operate and straightforward. Just plug in your phone and you’ll be given instructions on how to get started. There is a fingerprint feature that allows you to not have to type in your passcode if you want to unlock your phone, just place your fingertip on the home button and you can gain access. Again, this feature is very easy to set up.
The iPhone 6 Plus camera takes good quality photos. It is an 8 megapixel camera; images turn out surprisingly well on the iPhone 6 Plus. There’s not much need to change any settings, it’s all done automatically while you’re taking photos so you can enjoy snaps right after you buy the phone. However, video could be a bit better and if you’re taking photos in low light it can be a bit more difficult to get a clearer picture.
