Not one, but two iPhones to choose from Grab one that truly fits your hand

-

So here are the two new iPhones. The iPhone 6 is bigger than the previous iPhones, but the iPhone 6 Plus is the biggest of them all.

Some say size does matter, but when you talk about an iPhone, do you really believe that?

They have similar screen magic, the same power processors and awesome camera tricks. So we go to size and see which is better.

The iPhone 6 is the mini-me of the 6 Plus, the latter 2cm taller, 1cm wider and 2mm thicker. Which means, if you’re into one-handed mobility, the iPhone 6 should be it. The iPhone 6 Plus, however, gives you more with the size of screen. A bigger screen -- 5.5-inch versus 4.7-inch -- is a no-brainer when you browse the internet, play games or watch videos.

Of course, it’s handier to use the iPhone 6 when taking photos, but consider these: the iPhone 6 Plus is full-HD on a 401PPI while the iPhone 6 is 1334 x 750 pixels or 326PPI. The PPI means pixels per inch -- the higher the number the sharper the display.

They have identical front facing cameras, the rear cameras pretty much the same. Both use 8 megapixel sensors with 1.5 micron sensor pixels, dual tone flash and include phase detection. The iPhone 6 Plus, however, comes with optical image stabilisat­ion or OIS helps take better photos by eliminatin­g the blur caused by the small hand movements when taking a picture.

The larger the iPhone means a larger battery which means longer battery life. The iPhone 6 Plus has a 2915mAh battery to the 1810mAh of the iPhone 6.
