The iPhone 6 plus is Apple's first entry into the phablet market and is essentially exactly the same as the iPhone 6, just larger - the only differences being a higher screen pixel density, a larger battery and optical image stablization on the camera.

The question of whether you would prefer the iPhone 6 or the iPhone 6 Plus comes down to whether you prefer a bigger screen (0.8 inch larger than the iPhone 6) and perhaps to a lesser extent, a moderately longer battery life.

Is it better than other leading phablet devices on the market? From a specs point, though it's certainly not at the top, especially from the point of view of camera capabilities or the screen, it's in the ballpark. There's no arguing it's a beautifully designed device, constructed from quality materials and whether you would prefer the iPhone 6 to other phablets running Android or Windows rests on which operating system / manufacturer experience you prefer.

The iPhone 6 Plus comes in 16GB, 64GB and 128GB variants.
