iPhone 6: 4.7-inch 1334 x 750, “Retina HD” LCD
iPhone 6 Plus: 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 LCD, optimisation in landscape
Let's
get the obvious one out of the way. The 6 Plus has a bigger screen.
That means you get more room to browse, watch films and play your games.

Apple's
phone cameras are among the best in the business. They're easy to use,
come with a really straightforward camera app and most importantly take
really good photos.
Winner: iPhone 6 Plus
iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Software
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus: iOS 9
The
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are both now capable of running on iOS 9 just like
the new iPhones. That means you to enjoy new features like the power
saving mode and improved Apple Maps. It also brings a raft of changes
including the additon of
Apple Music.
The experiences across both are pretty much identical barring the
landscape mode you only get on the 6 Plus Even though the screen is
bigger you get the same amount of apps viewable on your home screen – 20
in total.
iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Performance
iPhone 6: Apple A8 64-bit and M8 co-processor
iPhone 6 Plus: Apple A8 64-bit and M8 co-processor
Apple’s
new A8 is in both phones and it’s a great processor. It uses a 64-bit
dual-core 1.4GHz CPU with a PowerVR GX6450 quad-core graphics chip
supported by 1GB RAM.
iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Storage
iPhone 6: 16GB (£539/$649), 64GB (£619/$749), 128GB (£699/$849), no micro SD card support
iPhone 6 Plus: 16GB (£619/$749), 64GB (£699/$849), 128GB (£789/$949), no micro SD card support
Neither
of the new Apple phones offers expandable memory. However, the iPhone 6
and iPhone 6 Plus do raise the storage ceiling, from 64GB to 128GB.
This
year, you get to pick between 16GB models (for the scrimpers), 64GB
ones and – for the flush – 128GB phones. There's no 32GB this year and
Apple won't tell us why. We did ask.
Winner: Draw
iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Battery Life
iPhone 6: 1,810 mAh battery, 11 hours video, 11 hours browsing
iPhone 6 Plus: 2,915 mAh battery, 14 hours video, 12 hours browsing
If
you think the larger iPhone comes with a larger battery then give
yourself a pat on the back because you are absolutely right. The iPhone 6
Plus has a 2915mAh battery compared to the 1810mAh one on the iPhone 6.
It means that the iPhone 6 Plus blows its little brother out of the
water when it comes to stamina.
iPhone 6 Plus vs iPhone 6: Price
iPhone 6: 16GB (£539), 64GB (£619), 128GB (£699), no micro SD card support
iPhone 6 Plus: 16GB (£619), 64GB (£699), 128GB (£789), no micro SD card support
These
are Apple phones so they were never going to be cheap but the iPhone 6
Plus is more expensive weighing in at a whopping £789/$949 for the top
specification 128GB version. By comparison the same spec iPhone 6 costs
£699/$849.
If you do decide to buy one of these phones we’d
recommend going for the 64GB one unless you like to store lots of media
or tinker with video editing on your phone.
iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Verdict
Big or small? Apple has
taken real pains to make sure the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus offer a
consistent experience. Similar screen tech, the same processor and
similar-grade cameras make sure there’s no weak link here.
However,
we do like that the extra display space of the iPhone 6 Plus and its
greater battery life makes it more of a power user device.
We'd
opt for the iPhone 6 Plus over the smaller iPhone. But we've loved using
both. For the better display, battery life and camera, go for the 6
Plus. If you can live without two days battery life and far from
fantastic low light images, then the iPhone 6 is a better fit.
