iPhone 6 Plus with 5.5-inch display announced

Apple officially announced two new larger phones on Tuesday, the iPhone 6 with 4.7-inch display and iPhone 6 Plus with 5.5-inch display. The 5.5-inch screen iPhone 6 Plus is by far the largest phone Apple has created. It comes after recent leaks showing purported components for a 5.5-inch screen device, and years of rumors indicating Apple was making larger-screened phones. Pricing and availability details for the 5.5-inch device have yet to be announced.

They dropped the ball on the "copycat". Where's my waterproof phone!?

That 8 megapixel camera aint fooling anyone either, its an 8 megapixel camera period. No amount of software wizardry is gonna make it better than say a 16MP or 20MP camera.

wanted a bi screen on the iPhone for years

now I will switch my phones, iPhone6+ will be the big screen and XperiaZ3 Compact, (smaller than the iPhone6) will be my main frequent calls phone.

Higher mega pixels doesn't mean a better camera

Finally, an iPhone with a bigger screen.

iPhone barely got NFC, when android has had that for like 4 years now? Also the screen is only 1080P, whereas android phones has had that for many years now too. Some android phone are quad HD now, like the Note 4 and LG G3.

The iPhone 6 will still sell like crazy though.

I think it will be interesting to see how this one sells. I'm seeing mixed feelings at work over what they wanted from an iphone. Some said they wanted a bigger screen others said they did not want a bigger screen.

For me the best phones have been the windows phones because they work for what I want them too and because I am very heavy user of Microsoft products it fits my life better than android and IOS do.

But when you take a look at all 3 os's now there is very little between them and they have more or less the same apps the only difference I have seen is in games.

I'm sure people who want the next iphone will love it the same as people who want a galaxy, HTC, Nokia etc. But looking at the market now there is really not much different in the hardware and software in terms of what they do it is now down to personal preference.

Like I said it will be interesting to see how the public react to 2 new bigger iPhones. I think the c was a bit of a flop for apple though and that's why they have not gone down this rout again.

Cryptcuzz3513d ago

Yeah, I am curious to see how the iPhone 6 will be selling as well.
A lot of iPhone users before ragged on android and even the Lumia phones for being too big and now with iPhone 6 being around similar sizes, I wonder how that would reflect on sales.

I'm more an android user and I plan on getting the Note 4. My brother has a Lumia 1520 and I think they are great phones with a nice camera.

I'm into the rooting scene for android and enjoy testing out different flavors of ROMS, as well as the flexibility and benefits of being able to root your phone and customize it the way you want.

mcstorm3513d ago

Yeah that is one thing I am going to take the mick out of some of the lads at my work when they get an iphone 6 as I remember getting my HTC HD2 years ago and it had a 4.3'' screen and everyone said it was too big and the same when I got the HTC titan and now everyone wants bigger screens.

I did love routing my phone back when it was windows mobile and the early days of android but I just got to a point where I wanted a phone that just worked and found windows phone the best for that and the camera on my 925 is really good too so this also helped my decision for getting it.

I don't have an issue with any of the phones but for years apple and apple fans kept telling me the screen was the perfect size and did not need to be bigger etc but now looks what's going on and the excises now are funny.

Crazay3513d ago

looks like a cheap POS anyway. Welcome to the 21st century CrApple.

Love my G3

bahabeast3513d ago

It's nice but iPhone 5/5s IMO is the best design and i think they should have released a 4.2" and 5.5" lots of people loved that you only needed one hand to control your iPhone, yes there is a feature to make easier but I still think alot of people love the smaller size.

WeedyOne3513d ago

Its damn near impossible to find a good small phone now. I thought in the future everything was supposed to get smaller! Bigger is not always better, remember this is a device that is supposed to fit in your pocket!
