iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus

The iPhone 6 (left) and the iPhone 6 Plus (right).

The iPhone 6, Apple's new flagship device with FINALLY a large screen. The iPhone 6 has been Apple's most anticipated device. This year Apple revealed not one but two flagship devices, the iPhone 6 and the 6 plus. Both of the devices have many similarities between them and the major difference that sets both of the devices apart is their screen size. The iPhone 6 has a display of 4.7 inches and the iPhone 6 Plus has a display of 5.5 inches. Apple in their iPhone 6 and 6 Plus trailer said that. "The way people experienced there iPhone has always started with the display, so couldn't introduce a larger display until we could make one that was great."

The image is from Apple's event on 9th Sep'14 showing the difference in screen size.

Well that maybe since the iPhone 6 and the 6 plus both will run on iOS 8 which we have very little information on. But there is a difference in the screen presentation of both the devices ever though they have the same software and almost same hardware. The iPhone 6 plus with a larger screen of 5.5 inches uses its screen size to show more on the display in terms of the application running. 
Apple for the first time has now made the home screen go into landscape mode. Now for a lot of you Android folks this is going to be very astonishing and you might be thinking that hey, Android's been able to do for a long time. Well yeah but Apple as they've said they don't make something until they can make it great. 

Thickness comparison between the iPhone 5, 6 and the 6 Plus.

Despite of the huge jump for the screen size Apple has made the phone very thin.  The previous iPhone, the iPhone 5S had a thickness of 7.6 mm. The iPhone 6 and the 6 Plus now have a thickness of 6.9 mm and  7.1 mm respectively.  

iPhone users have always preferred the small screen size as for people with smaller hands find it harder to reach the top of the screen of larger displays, this has been on of the reasons for people who use the iPhone ever since the larger screen trends came. So you might think Apple might lose those people. But now Apple has made a feature in the new phones that when double taping the touch id home button of the phone, it pulls down the screen so it lets you touch the buttons on the top of the screen. This is a very handy feature that most of us are going to like. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are running the new health kit app which works with the Apple Watch. Apple's also introduced a new payment system called Apple Pay which we'll post more details on in future posts. 

As for the specs, the phones maybe similar but are different from each other in so many ways. For example here are specs for the phones:
