Savvy shoppers need to check all the advantages and drawbacks, so they can make sure that they choose a proper smartphone model. The Apple iPhone 6 Plus is one of the best devices in the market and here are five reasons why you should choose it, especially if you are a long-time fan:

iPhone 6

  1. It is bigger: Based on many studies, users prefer to run multimedia content, browse the web and play games on larger displays, specifically 5-inch or larger. The iPhone 6 Plus falls into this category with its 5.5-inch display. There’s no getting away from the fact that people want a good balance between acceptable screen real estate and compact form factor. The extra inches on the display could be used accommodate more icons and other interface elements.
  2. More improved camera: The iPhone 6 Plus is praised for its excellent photography performance, in some cases better than the Samsung Galaxy S5 with its 16Mp camera and Sony Xperia Z3 with its 20.7Mp camera. This is quite surprising considering that the iPhone 6 Plus merely has an 8Mp snapper. This tells us that photography isn’t all about megapixels. Compared to the smaller iPhone 6, the Plus comes with OIS (optical image stabilization) and autofocus mechanism. The internal mechanism of the phone also prevents images produced from coming out blurry and shaky. The OIS feature can improve color reproduction and reduce graininess in low-light conditions.
  3. Improved battery life: The Apple iPhone 6 comes with 2915mAh battery and it is possible to get a couple days out of the phone with light to moderate usages. During standby mode, the phone will consume only up to 2 percent of battery life overnight. As comparison, the Galaxy Note 4 could use up to 10 percent of battery life overnight during standby. So, it is clear that the iPhone 6 Plus comes out on top in terms of longevity. Unfortunately, the iPhone 6 Plus doesn’t include fast charging features like its rivals, but it is possible to speed up the charging time if we have an iPad charger.
  4. It supports Apple Pay: Apple’s payment solution seems to have a bright future. The company has formed partnerships with various banks and retailers. Apple has a huge market share in the mobile industry. So it is likely that Apple Pay will come out on top. Millions of credit cards are already integrated with Apple Pay and many transactions have been performed using the payment system.
  5. Availability of accessories: Accessories for Apple’s products are big business. With the release of new Apple devices, accessories become more sophisticated. It is all about quality and functionality. Gone are the days when we could get a plastic iPhone case for only $2.

Obviously, it is not all great with Apple’s new phablet and it has some flaws. One major concern among users is its enlarged size and some long-time iPhone users say that the Plus is no longer usable for one-handed use. There’s a reachability feature in the Settings, but it simply resizes the interface and make the unused part of the display black. The metal finish could also be slippery, so it more likely for the Plus to hit the pavement accidentally. The reduced thickness and enlarged size also mean that the phone is no longer rigid. This causes the phablet more susceptible to bending if we put it in our pocket. The iPhone 6 Plus is also rather expensive, especially if we choose the 64GB and 128GB version.
