Apple has begun rolling out a new print ad on the back of magazines like Rolling Stone showing off how big the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are compared to older iPhone models, as noticed by The Mac Observer.

The ad simply depicts both of the new iPhones at actual size with the tagline "Actual Sizes", and could likely tempt users of older iPhones to compare their current model to the new ones to see the size differences between the phones. Below the iPhones, the ad includes copy that briefly talks about the new features of the phones.
Stunning Retina HD display. Amazing new iSight camera. Powerful 64-bit A8 processor. The most advanced iOS yet. All in an ultraslim design. The new iPhones are bigger than bigger.
Apple has made the larger sizes of the new iPhones one of the cornerstones of its marketing for them, also debuting a TV ad starring Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake that talks about how "huge" the new phones are.

They can't really put an ad for a feature that isn't ready yet. Like health kit or payments

The fact the 6 Plus's screen scales down the display really bugs me.

If your screen shot is 2208 x 1242 that's how many pixels the screen should have!

the ad phones look eerily real, and it seems almost kinda uncanny when you notice the shadows facing different directions.

Bendgate?

Curious for an Apple news site... one that I frequently read, that there isn't an article about the bending problem of the iPhone 6 Plus.

thought i would tweak this a little

Stunning Retina HD display. Amazing new iSight camera. Powerful 64-bit A8 processor. The most advanced iOS yet. All in an ultraslim design. The new iPhones are bigger than bigger, and the best feature yet, it can be bent just by leaving it in your pocket. The most innovative thing to happen to a phone.

Bigger than bigger is right which is why the new larger sizes are much more of a negative than positive feature to me since not even the 6 fits comfortably in my adult male hand.

If you have a phone that is smaller than the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, though at least these ads will let you see how much pocket space you are saving by not "upgrading."
