“Obviously, Apple has aimed at two very different personalities with these [iPhone6/Plus] sizes,” Dom Esposito writes for 9to5Mac.
“The iPhone 6 Plus is considered a phablet in my eyes, while the iPhone 6 is probably a strong candidate for the average consumer,” Esposito writes. “One is bigger and the other is ‘bigger than bigger.’ Though it’s not necessarily the 5.5-inch display on the iPhone 6 Plus that makes it so big. Because of its design, the iPhone 6 Plus is larger than most other 5.5-inch Android devices.”
“For myself, I’ll have to side with the iPhone 6. Don’t get me wrong, the iPhone 6 Plus is great with its display and battery life, but I just need a device that’s a bit more pocketable and I’m willing to sacrifice a few features for that,” Esposito writes. “If you’re coming from a previous iOS device or an Android device, you’ll be happy with either one.”
