Here's our breakdown of how the iPhone 6 stacks up against the iPhone 6 Plus.

Pros and Cons

The iPhone 6 has arguably addressed almost all the shortcomings users had been complaining about in the past few years. The screen size is larger now without significantly increasing the phone size. The processor and camera are better and it sports an improved battery life.

Although it has addressed some issues from earlier versions, the iPhone 6 still fails to be the ideal smartphone in a world of cheaper android variants. The screen size has increased but the resolution is not of a higher quality. Battery life has improved over previous versions but still is not as good as those found in android phones. No external storage feature is available either. The price is also quite high compared to android phones with similar features.

The iPhone 6 Plus is the first iPhone sporting a 5.5-inch screen. It has also charted into the territory of HD display. The larger body has space for a larger and better battery.

The iPhone 6 Plus has managed to silence all the critics in the specification department, but price still remains an issue for it. The same specifications in android phones are available at much less of a cost.

Talking Points

No country can beat China when it comes to the love of iPhones and that fact was again proved when 2 million handsets for the iPhone 6 were reserved in China during the first six hours of pre-booking slot.

Fun fact: the iPhone 6 Plus was originally thought to be named the 6L, and only later was it confirmed to be the 6 Plus. We wonder what that 'L' was going to stand for...

The iPhone 6 Plus will be launched at price points of $299, $399 and $499 for the 16, 64, 128 GB variations, respectively.

Conclusion

No matter what the critics may say, the popularity of the iPhones is unlikely to diminsh any time soon. The Chinese market has effectively proven that, and the 6 Plus comes with a great deal of hope for Apple enthusiasts. It's hard to imagine going wrong with either the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.
