“Maybe I’m getting old, and my eyes are getting worse. Or maybe I’m stuck in Apple’s reality-distortion field (help). But something strange happened this week,” Lauren Goode writes for Re/code. “I started to like a phablet. Okay, okay. Apple hates the word “phablet.” So let’s call the iPhone 6 Plus what it is: A jumbo smartphone with a 5.5-inch diagonal display.”
“I’ve tested giant phones before, including the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Mega. In each instance, I concluded that I wouldn’t buy one for myself, mostly due to size,” Goode writes. “There are a couple of reasons why the Apple iPhone 6 Plus might also be too big for me to purchase. But I have to admit it: I’m tempted. I really like this phone. And to people who actually prefer huge smartphones: You are going to like this phone, too.”
“That’s mostly because it’s not just a smartphone; it’s a statement phone,” Goode writes. “Some other jumbo phones have felt like plastic toys to me. Apple has designed a giant phone that offers a few key large-screen features without overwhelming the senses, and it has a pretty good camera, to boot. More importantly, it feels sleek, and carries the cachet of being a ‘big iPhone’ — if that’s what you’re into.”
