Reviews are out!

[iScone]

If this isn't trolling I don't know what is. You have legit just insulted practically half of this community with your ignorance.

Agreed, you don't know what is. This is a thread about reviews - reviews which are scoring the 6 higher than the 6+. That's objective fact. I'm speculating as to why that is.

If you fancy reading trolls, go and look at any of the 6+ threads where buyers are busy convincing themselves they made the right choice.

GeekBench (Single-Core)
iPhone 6 Plus. 1610
iPhone 6. 1517
iPhone 5s. 1409
Higher scores/longer bars are better.

GeekBench (Multi-Core)
iPhone 6 Plus. 2877
iPhone 6. 2586
iPhone 5s. 2549
Higher scores/longer bars are better.

The Geekbench benchmark seems to all over the place with iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

iPhone 6 score significantly higher this time for whatever reason

I don't understand these.
The engadget's review shows 6 and 6 plus are comparable.
Actually 6 is even higher. Not sure whether it is a typo

iPhone 5s iPhone 6 iPhone 6 Plus

OMG. Somebody gets it.

Thanks for pointing this out. It's obvious but many miss it.

Seriously! No way should the 6+ have points deducted for being bigger! That's kind of the point with it.

And people seriously reconsidering their choice because of what somebody on the internet says is sad. You aren't them therefore you just might like something different

Macrumors...been turning grown men into whiney little fighting girls since 2001...

This goes to about 50% of all the crap ive read on here the last few days.....pretty pathetic grown adults come in here to try to make other people feel crappy about a dumb phone purchase decision.

Pathetic...you know who you are.

Word of advice. Avoid PRSI at all costs

 

[ZBoater]

Yeaaaah. I think the Plus is too big for sure, but I think it's a good deal smaller than my Mini; not "slightly."

I know, right? A reviewer that says the 6+ is slightly smaller than a Mini just loses all credibility with me. Hyperbole has no place in professional product reviews.

 

[Gooberton]

You are one jealous dude. Every review is basically saying the same things and you keep commenting like it didn't happen. The 6 is scoring higher. Get over it. In another thread you said you weren't getting the phone if it had less than 1.5 gbs of ram anyway so I guess you can get the note 4.


I have to imagine many 6+ users may be concerned with the comments on how it looks while using it as phone. One reviewer called it absurd or something to that affect.

6 Scoring higher???
Look at the reviews again. They all rate the plus higher and downgrade it for size but say everyting else about it is better

are we sure they have 7,1 and 7,2 matched to the corresponding models? i don't see why the 6 would have a higher clock than the 6 plus

 

[geniuschen]

Engadget also shows 6 is better for geekbench.
Macworld shows the other way though.
Is it possible the frequency is floating during test?......

I got the 6+ and am excited.

I have a strong feeling that by next year ios 9 will have some nice big screen features and developers will introduce some cool stuff by then too

Who are you trying to convince? We can all read the reviews, dude. The 6 is scoring better on reviews and higher on Geekbench. That's inarguable.

Compare the 6+ with the Note, and OnePlusOne, then maybe it isn't as good.
I just discovered the OnePLusOne phone yesterday, and it looks like a flagship killer 5.5''.

 

[Gooberton]

This has a video side by side showing the plus SLIGHTLY faster

It makes no sense for a smaller device to be clocked higher

Anandtech review please

Show me one review the 6 scores higher? Please. Aside from
Size

Slightly better. The few things that the 6 Plus does better than the 6 are not so drastic that it's worth giving up portability, pocket ability and being able to use it comfortably one handed. It is the reviewers opinion and I agree. As a daily driver I want my phone to be as comfortable in hand as possible. If I need a "big" screen I have my iPad.

Remember, these are opinions people. It's as if some of you are offended because your choice of phone got a less review. Both phones are amazing!

That's what their website says. Cool.

lol lol Yeah but 3DMark and Basemark show the 6Plus as having more horsepower. (And we can conclude that outside of having a bigger screen which effect diff benchmark quirks, that the Plus clearly has more raw processing power)

And theres also a Geekbench score by Macworld which shows the Plus faster so that right there makes Geekbench suspect.

And also the reviewers are just being biased reviewing both phones as one product when they are now two different product categories and giving demerits to the Plus when there should be none lol.

Engadget. Macworld. cNET. Verge.

The Plus is a decent phone, but the 6 is not only more portable and easier to use, it's also faster. I'm not hating on your choice, but don't make things up. The results are in.

Yes they are. CNet says it best.

"You're not losing anything much with the 6. But it's not the absolute top of the line. Maybe that bugs you. If it does, get the 6 Plus."

Boom.

 

[iScone]

Ok, you cling to that. I'll stick to the facts.

How do you conclude the Plus has clearly more "raw processing power"?!? The 6 got better scores on every site besides Macworld -- whom made a mistake... If you exclude Macworld, show me ONE site which rates it faster.

 

[spazma7ik]

And where are you seeing that the 6 is faster?

I think they are the same or comparable
