As attractive as ever but seriously not worth the price if you're not into their ecosystem. And yes, I am seeing more and more bent Iphone at store, haha.

    Indeed, "following the curve" of that huge BEND that has appeared in the side you should ask for your money back.

      Agree with the review.
      And I see main disadvantages far outweigh key features.
      Gsmarena gives an objective review, from both apple and non-apple user perspective.

          I don't see how the protruding camera is more susceptible to scratching. If anything it is less; it will always be at an angle and therefore not be resting on anything that might scratch it. I'm not saying I like it; I've never had a scratched iPhone camera with it flush against the back, with or without a case. But it seems to me this is a big assumption, and not one that seems well thought-out.

Both statements support the idea the device is too large (a) to use single-handedly and (b) compared to other devices with the same or larger screen size.

              Beside Huawei Ascend Mate7, none of the other competitors are close to iPhone's design and language. Samsung and LG are on its last legs before the Chinese finishes them off and Oppo don't provide software support.

                Apple is also offering a new feature called Wi-Fi calling. If both parties support this service and it is on, the call won't be placed through the cellular network but the internet. This improves the audio quality and won't count against your allotted monthly minutes.
                Is that FaceTime audio? OR T-Mobile wifi call (it counts against monthly minutes actually) ?

                    Funny how some users waste their time bashing the new iPhone 6 plus. If only people can go over and check the benchmark test results, it should serve them right. One other thing, it's not just about hardware specifications, again, check the benchmark tests.

                              Hey, honestly, I was looking forward to a bending test... and everyone knows that iOS is optimized and that stuff, but 1GB of RAM, you've got to be kidding me

                                Even an old Galaxy Note II is better. Tried the iPhone 6+ but browser scrolling is laggy in comparison and tabs frequently reload due to low 1GB DRAM. Not a fan of the design either with the lines on the back, protruding camera ring and unnecessarily big bezels.

                                  AnonD-308578, 01 Oct 2014Honestly, the 6 plus probably has the best mobile phone camera. Just look at those low-light p... moreReally good camera, it's not exactly too "low light" though, try one of the better Nokias in the same light and you get a similar level of detail. Maybe it's because Apple stole one of the Nokia's camera guys recently? Anyway, still no Xenon so you can't say it's the "best" but for non-demanding users and 8 megapixels it's as good as it gets.

                                    1gb RAM? SERIOUSLY? You may said different about the dualcore processor, but RAM is something else and totally important. And with the bending phone that even kids able to do that (at apple store), No thanks.

The iphone blends into your life where the galaxy stands out due to its sheer size.

                                        I agree with most of the review, it's not a revolutionary device, but have couple thougts about it.

                                        No infrared port, no FM Radio as a disadvantages - yeah, I see typical iPhone 6 Plus user missing those two. Who needs AirDrop or music streaming services (like, lets say, iTunes Radio).

                                        Same goes with non replacable battery. It's 2014. I bet you all see millions carrying spare one for their phones every day. Seriously people - how many of you have 2 batteries? 1-2% of users? Just charge it everyday, buy case with extension battery or simply use dumbphone.

                                        One of (if not THE) best camera in the market according to most of the reviews, but went into cons, because Apple don't play the megapixel game.

                                        Protruding camera is a flop, but before September it wasn't such a big problem. Look at, for example, Samsung Alpha. Even at GSM Arena review it did't went into disadvantages.
