iPhone 6 Plus Comparison
Both models include the same 64-bit A8 chip and the same general design. However, there are several differences between the two phones. The iPhone 6 measures in at 6.9mm, while the iPhone 6 Plus is slightly thicker at 7.1mm.
Apple's iPhone 6 Plus also has three major differentiating factors: optical image stabilisation for the camera, longer battery life, and an iPad-style landscape mode that displays more content on the screen.
Design Improvements
The power button has thankfully moved to the right-hand side for easy access. This is a welcome change given the overall larger size of the device. Another interesting phone feature includes glass that curves around the edges of the phone. Notably, it isn't the sapphire screen we were hearing about, but it is a slightly different design element. The phone is also slim, at 0.27-inch, or 6.9-millimetres thin.
iPhone 6 Camera Features
On the video front, you'll be capturing 1080p HD video at either 30 or 60fps. Moreover, slow-motion comes in at 120 or 240fps. Continuous autofocus, while you're shooting video, means that the camera will adjust as the subjects move around. Similarly, it adjusts as you do. You can shoot video in HDR mode as well.
Apple has also made improvements to the 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera. Specifically, the company likes to call it the FaceTime camera. The iPhone 6 tweaks face detection and focus on aiming for better accuracy. Furthermore, it now weaves in HDR. Video capture here remains steady at 720p HD. Additionally, the front-facer also gets a burst mode.
