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.

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.

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.

I been saying this before many many times.....
The PoweraVR GX6450 GPU easily kick out Adre330 in Z3z/alpha/Note3
APPLE use efficient/highly optimize way manage the gpu resources and thats what they always win the GFX graphic benchmark....
Z3c/alpha phone can throw into rubbish bin.

Honestly, the 6 plus probably has the best mobile phone camera. Just look at those low-light pictures! Incredible!
Point-and-shoot cameras are dead.

Why are these Android fans always posting comment here at Apple article yet Apple fans dont comment on Android articles. One thing is for sure, these people are insecure seeing the launch of iPhone is highly celebrated and anticipated yet Samsung Galaxy Note announcement is so lame like nobody cares..

Switching from note2 to 5s was not problematic to me, as many people were assuming it to be but, rather it was pleasant, easy one hand use from browsing to text msgs. It seems many Apple fans were eagerly waiting for an Apple phablet coz they never experienced it for long rather used briefly of some friend. I think once Apple people will use phablets they will know it's not easy, u will have to sacrifice too much.
Everybody has diff opinions, iPhone 6 for me.. :)

It only looks like an ugly extension of a galaxy note 1 in truth untill you turn to the back where they have done, over the top bling, even if you liked it who keeps looking at the back, but no in essence its a stretched g note1 with a round home button, I went in with a white g n1 and the white 6plus even the store assistant said he though it looked identical specialy when the screen is off.
As for the price being the only barrier, thats hardly true is it, the note 3 is not inferior to this phone, and if when you review the note 4 range, if they live up to thier promise its not even a competion, and sales don't even come into the frame nowadays as an indication of the best phone, there are enough youtube videos showing that, if you dressed a trout up in an apple logo the same people would still buy it if they were told by apple it was the latest superior ugrade to they're current iphone (iwatch video was hilarious.)
