Finally apple learned and accepted the
fact that there is a class of people who want “bada screen” as one of their
major aspects in the Smartphone, and hence they developed their first smart
phone in the phablet category. As seen in by the previous apple names such as
the iPhone 5c (“c” standing for colour), they named their first phablet iPhone
6 Plus.
The iPhone 6 Plus is just a super sized
iPhone 6 in terms of looks, which makes it look like the “bada bhai” of the
iPhone 6. The big differentiator is that that huge 5.5-inch screen, but some
other differences make it a very different product to it’s little sibling (i.e.
iPhone 6). This is one phone that displays all of apple’s key trademark. Great
screen, superb quality fit and finish and one of the best point-and-click
cameras you can find on a phone.

The 5.5 inch display is great, but that
doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have its backdrops. The top and bottom bezels make
the phone a bit bigger than it should have been. Apple has always thought about
consumer solutions and hence developed a way to bring the top of the phone
within thumb reach by taping the home button twice. It has even shifted the
power button from the top to the right to make it accessible. It has a Retina
Hd display which is great to look at. iPhones have always had good cameras, and
Apple has prided itself on improving quality each year “behtar se aur behtar”
even if the resolution stays static. The 6 Plus stands apart from its other
sibblngs as it has optical image stabilizer which gives great pictures even if
there are a bit of shakes while taking the picture.

The iPhone 6 Plus's specifications might
not look competitive on paper, but the real world is a different story
altogether. This phone is screamingly fast and it doesn't have any problem
keeping up with Android flagships. The user interface is easy to operate and
apps load fluidly. Taking a look at the Pros and Cons of the 6Plus:
Pros
·Great battery
life

display.
·Superior Camera
·Good call quality
|
Cons
·Single Hand use
not possible
·Charging the
battery takes a long time
·Bit difficult to

·Expensive
|
Final
Verdict:
There
will be people who will love the iPhone 6 Plus because they have always wanted
a bigger iPhone. It’s a great combination of your handheld gaming console,
video camera, tablet and smartphone with a single unit. However it’s a bit
difficult to carry. Many will be confused between the two siblings (iPhone 6
& iPhone 6 Plus). Its priced around Rs. 62000/- for the 16 GB version, so
it may be overly priced for some and they can look for other offerings by
android which are a lot less expensive or the younger brother of 6 plus the
iPhone 6.
