The question that we have received the most in recent days, after the publication of the iPhone 6 Plus review video, is if we advise to buy 5,5-inch iPhone or 4,7-inch model. In this article we will analyze the differences between the two models and mention their respective advantages and disadvantages. This guide will help you choose between an iPhone 6 and an iPhone 6 Plus.
Technical and Software Differences between iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
Both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus have the same A8 processor with the set of M8 sensors inside. However the iPhone 6 Plus wins in some respects: the battery of the phone is immense, so the autonomy will be much greater than in the case of the iPhone 6, a model in which we have hardly noticed improvements in autonomy with respect to the iPhone 5s. Here you can see a comparative table with the information related to autonomy in both models:
In section camera the same lenses are integrated with the new fast autofocus, which allows you to take high-quality photos. In the case of the iPhone 6 Plus we find an additional feature: the optical video stabilizer that is maintained throughout the recording of a video. Still, the video we get with the iPhone 6 presents equally satisfactory results.
As for iOS 8, both in the iPhone 6 and in the iPhone 6 Plus we find the mode «Reachability«, Which ends up being comfortable to reach applications and other options when we find ourselves using the phone with one hand. However, the iPhone 6 has not included the landscape mode which does appear on the iPhone 6 Plus. On some occasions, this mode can be missed on the 4,7-inch iPhone.
Advantages and Disadvantages of iPhone 6
If you are more than used to the screen of the iPhone 4 / iPhone 5, then we do not recommend taking a radical leap to 5,5 inches. The iPhone 6 is ergonomic, on some occasions we can continue to use it with one hand, which is useful for day to day. The two disadvantages that we find in the iPhone 6 is the battery life and the fact that the landscape mode has not been included.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the iPhone 6 Plus
Some Apple fans switched to Android in the past, drawn by the size of its screens. If you are a fan of the Galaxy Note, then the iPhone 6 Plus will convince you. Its great advantage is the quality of the screen, in which we appreciate a great generational leap. The same goes for your battery. However, the iPhone 6 Plus is too uncomfortable for the hands (important factor) and another disadvantage is its higher price.
Personal Experience with iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
The first unboxing I have done this year was the iPhone 6 Plus and my first impressions were somewhat opposite: I was struck by the quality of its screen, but from the first moment I was clear that its format was too large. The navigating the iPhone 6 is convenienta, something that does not happen with the iPhone 6 Plus. In addition, the iPhone 6 fits comfortably in your pockets and with the iPhone 6 Plus there are more problems (if it is tight, the lock button may be able to turn on itself). My decision is clear: iPhone 6 (and I have to say that the first day the new iPhone went on sale, I saw customers returning to the store to exchange their iPhones 6 Plus for the iPhone 6).
As always, the consumer has the last word.
Since when can Apple products purchased in a physical store be returned? I'm lost…
In the apple store you always have 14 days ... in other stores whatever they want, but the return experience in an apple store is phenomenal!
Without a doubt, with this screen change I would stay with the iphone plus!
I am still in a sea of doubts !!! although I have reserved the iphone 6 64 gb ... I'm still not sure, the plus attracts me for its improvement in battery but it is too big !! I think I will bet on comfort .. I hope I do not regret it
I agree small and powerful device, you have screens on all sides and you can connect with wifi cable .., for me such a big screen is absurd, I don't want an ipad in my ear .. a hello!
Well, I have already booked the Plus, since we make the jump, we do it well. Everyone says that in 5 minutes you get used to seeing everything bigger and then you don't want to go back. So, go for the big one! and above all if it has better features, it convinces me even more. In a physical store, if I'm not wrong, you have 7 days to change the product in case you don't like the color, size, want to return it, etc ...
Regards!
For me the problem is not getting used to a bigger screen but the other way around, getting used to a small screen becomes more difficult.
In this case the two new iPhones are bigger, my advice if you are used to a small screen (4 ′) go for the iphone 6, and if you have a galaxy s5 or a note, which I have seen many saying I do not pass the iphone because it is very small and I am used to my note / galaxy / lg / etc
The iPhone 6 plus is clearly aimed at those people who are used to large screens, and the 6 to those who have an iPhone and phones around 4 ′
The choice is free
My question is how you have booked and where… ???

I bought the iPhone 6 plus because I was excited by the screen and so on, but after 2 days I got tired of the size and it is very uncomfortable, and I'm used to using everything in fact I like big phones but the iPhone 6 plus It has a lot in the upper part and in the lower part diokis and tires and I went to change it for the 6, it is more comfortable and more manageable, excellent neither too big nor too small
Can it be changed once used? Yesterday I bought the 6 plus and the truth is, it is very uncomfortable, I prefer the 6. The same thing happened to you.
At least, here in the US, they have a 14-day return policy, even if you've used it. Check your purchase receipt, you should put it there.
I went to a mobile phone store ... and I took a 4,7-inch lg and a 5,5-inch note ... and a 4-inch galaxy 5 and the truth is that seeing the galaxy 4 that is 5 ″, the 4,7 inches is just right ... used to seeing a screen from my friends' galaxy 4, the 4,7 is fine but I see it somewhat fair, as I say ... so for a little bigger, I think I'll take the 6 plus ... I hope not make a mistake ... greetings
Between the S4 and the 6+ there is a BIG difference in size ... not only is it half an inch more, you have to add the generous frames of the 6 + ... the 6+ is even more than 1,5cm taller and 0,5, 5cm wider than the S0.3 and there is only XNUMX ″ of screen difference.
The 6+ is half a centimeter taller than a note 3 ...
Well, I don't know what to do. I have an iPhone 4 and it is clear that I have to renew it. I have been looking at the new iPhone and the sizes are still not convincing, too big for my hands and not very useful for movements as simple and common as "going back" in the applications. This simple reason makes me consider buying the iPhone 5s, much more comfortable and practical in my opinion.
And now I ask, which one do you recommend?
Greetings 😉
I've had the 6 for two weeks and I think it's the best thing I could have done. I had the 4S and the truth is that I did not think about the 5S option, I directly went for the 6. It is worth it.
All the best
