iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus | Pocketnow

This guy sounds like an Android lover. But anyway... I got the Note 4...coming from the iPhone 5. and in a week I returned it for an iPhone 6 plus. It's been about a week now with my iPhone 6 plus...and I won't be going back to the Note 4 or anything Andriod for now. I love my iPhone 6plus. Big screens are in.. and this phone is great. Pics and videos are phenomenal. just dope.

If I had to choose, the plus. I like big phones and I can not lie.

I could watch Michael Fisher review dirt and still be amazed

[tralent]

Finally a review that doesn't end in "it's really up to you"

[Gravage]

Really wish they had done more with the screen real estate on the Plus. How hard would it have been to give us a number row on the keyboard? A split keyboard in landscape would have been nice, too.

I thought this was an iPhone 6 vs. iphone 6 plus not "what the iPhone DOESN'T have"

[Blitzkrieg]

I couldn't care less about iPhone's, but I love Michael Fishers videos so I must watch :)

[SamHipZZ]

So as I suspected, and as he hinted at, the 6 Plus isn't as smooth and responsive as the 6 because of the larger screen size presumably. Could someone PLEASE tell me if this is worth considering because I really really want a super fast phone. Is the difference really nominal or is it significant enough to make you change your minds? Thanks.

I chose the iPhone 6 as like you say I think it's a natural progression of the iPhone family. I did like a lot of things about the 6 plus but I feel the 6 is easier to live with.

What was the app that let you have an app launcher widget in your status bar?

[leoncampa]

I have an iPhone 6+, and I'm absolutely loving it.

Sure, it is a bit hard to type on one handedly, but for all the rest, it does everything better. Even though the bigger screen may not be utilized at its' full extent with split screens, Apps are still a lot easier to use because they appear larger; therefore making it easier to distinguish details and tapping more accurately on smaller objects.

The 1080 P screen also makes huge difference when playing games or watching videos.

I am now hoping that Apple will release an update that will incorporate split screen functionality at some point in the future. I also hope that some third-party company will follow Samsung's example in developing the oculus VR, and develop some third-party hardware that will allow for augmented reality usage with the bigger iPhone.

Let alone that people don't realize... Everyone has different hand sizes.... So when he says the bigger screen isn't small enough for one handed use... That all depends on how big your hands are and if your comfortable making small hand movements/adjustments to reach the top of the screen without having to use the iOS 8 function where you double tap the home button (not press) to move the top of the screen down closer to the bottom of the screen so you can reach it without adjusting your hand a little bit.... But that all depends on your own person way of using the device

Another fine job on the review Michael, keep up the good work.

[nanezferrer]

can i download the apps in the ipad to the iphone 6 plus ?

[JontyCawleyGraham]

Honestly, I really appreciate these videos giving a proper review of the product unlike other reviewers like David Pierce from the Verge just gushing over how great the iPhone is just because it's the new iPhone. I prefer Android and love my nexus 5 but it's good to keep an open mind about the latest products each company has to show off and you guys give the iPhone a truly fair review that showcases it without bias. Also, great job keeping the comments under control. Nice work  Michael. 

[Prodsacul]

See, THIS is how phone reviews need to be. Not all the specs and stuff, i just want to know the differences and how they feel

[largon]

i am an android guy and left my g3 for the 6 and now looking to get the 6+ because i miss my big screen…but all of the things he mentioned that the iPhone does not have can easily be added with an update i don't really see it as cons. and also they are features that me and many others don't really need. anyways that's just my opinion.

[Jeanumehara]

Just wondering, will Apple upgrade the plus next year? Or just the 6?

[MBimmer]

I was set to pre-order the plus but glad that i went to apple store a couple of times and tried them both....yup changed my mind and ordered the 6.

[stretch]

Why didn't Apple make the 6+ shorter but a little fatter? It's so awkward to hold.
