iPhone 6 Plus



The new iPhone 6 Plus was just announced this week with preorders starting early this morning. I placed my own preorder for a 6 Plus to use on T-Mobile and cannot wait to get my hands on the device. People have been looking for Apple to launch a large smartphone and they finally delivered.

The iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 resolution display, internal storage capacity up to 128GB, NFC with Apple Pay support, advanced A8 chip and M8 motion coprocessor, new 8 megapixel iSight camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), the TouchID button, and significantly increased battery life. Those on T-Mobile also now get WiFi Calling and VoLTE support, which were functions we have only seen on Android in the past. The specs are top notch and with iOS 8 powering the device we can rest assured performance will be solid.

There are always a few things missing from every device and I was hoping to see wireless charging, waterproof capability, and infrared remote control support. These are niche desires, though, and the iPhone 6 Plus will easily appeal to the masses who might have went with a Note 4 or other large screen Android device if Apple did not go big. Apple already reports that the initial stock of all iPhone 6 Plus variations in the US have sold out.

The iPhone 6 Plus is clearly the most expensive smartphone available today with full prices ranging from $749 to $949 and two-year contract subsidized prices ranging from $299 to $499. For those of us who use our smartphones daily as an essential tool, the cost is justified.
