This is what using an iPhone Plus 6 for a phone call feels like on the first day.
Disclaimers and notes:
• For younger visitors, that black thing is an old telephone (that’s where Apple got the iPhone ringtone)
• Old rotary telephones weren’t really (quite) that big (but they weren’t exactly small and light, either)
• Disregard the East German officer aspect (it’s integral to the film’s plot), focus on the size instead (using an iPhone 6 Plus doesn’t make you feel like an East German officer)
• If you haven’t seen Top Secret!, I do recommend it
Without further ado, this is what using an iPhone Plus 6 for a phone call feels like on the first day:
Here’s the scene from the film:
It’s a good thing I don’t really use my iPhone to make phone calls or I’d feel pretty silly. I mostly use it as an Internet Communicator, as Steve Jobs would say.
In closing, I’m keeping my iPhone 6 Plus! I love it! If you use your iPhone frequently for phone calls, especially in public, consider an iPhone 6 instead!
[UPDATE: 2:40pm EDT: Changed third bullet point to “East German officer” from “Nazi” as per “SamLowry” below. It seems that my memory slightly failed me likely due to the fact that the last time I saw the complete film was 30 years(!) ago.]
