Inferior specs? Seriously? OIC and a higher resolution screen (which is necessary due to the larger screen to maintain an acceptable DPI) aren't superior. You won't notice the difference in the two screens and the camera isn't so different that you'll see obvious differences. You people will complain about anything.

So is the iPhone 6 this model's iPhone 5C and the 6+ the Flagship?

Personally, I think they are both flagships.
What's wrong with a company having 2 flagships? Aren't the s5 and n4 both flagships in their respected category?

To maintain acceptable PPI the PPI decreases as the screen size increases because the further you can hold the device from your eyes like the iPad which has a lower PPI then the iPhone. The 6+ PPI screen size increases AND the PPI increases.
Yeah, no kidding. They increased the screen size and increased the resolution for that reason. You hold a phone a lot closer to your face than a tablet.

Fixed that for you. 😉
But seriously, we've got them all in here, the "Plus is best because" brigade, the "6 is best because" mob, the "Plus is inferior because" gang and team "6 is inferior because".
Wow, I genuinely don't know what happened over the last week or so, but there are some really, genuinely, horrible people whose true colours have come to light over these phones.
I'm calling it now, anyone that slates the phone they're not buying has either SPS (Smaller Phone Syndrome) or LPS (Larger Phone Syndrome).
It's an insecurity I equate to what we (in the UK anyway) call SMS (Small Man Syndrome), where small men tend to be aggressive and overbearing, to compensate for something.
Getting an iPhone 6 or an iPhone 6 Plus?
Good for you, but **** about what (you think) buyers of the other model are "missing out on", or why the model you're getting is so much better.
The 6 is certainly not the 5C.
The 5C was a previous model in a plastic housing at a cheaper price point.
The 6 is a new model in a premium housing at the standard price point.
The 6+ is just that much more premium IF you fancy the size of the device. There is nothing wrong with preferring a smaller version of a product. My living room is 12" from wall to wall where the TV sits, a 100" TV is NOT better for me even though its more expensive then my 55" TV. Given the variables of pocket size, how people use a smartphone, how often they use they're smartphone, etc etc a 5.5" screen smartphone might NOT be the best solution for them.
So as usual, bigger isn't always better.

You 6+ buyers are so insecure it's hilarious. I actually feel bad for some of you, though.
They really should have called it the iPhone 6 "Daddy Issues" Edition.

Wow, both of these phones are flagships. Such as how Samsung has the 2 flagships. The note and the galaxy... This is the same way.
Both phones are great. Both of them.
People will try and make this the 5s vs 5c, but it's not even near that.
These phones are the flagships
The 5s Is midtier we and the 5c is the entry level ... SIMPLE

Except it's the same in principle so yes it was a good try indeed. As long as you enjoy your inferior phone there's nothing for you to worry about.
So it has superior specs but you're saying it doesn't because they're not that much superior? Lmao

You win the internet for today, my friend. You can take the rest of the day off. 😀
As I'm reading these needy iPhone 6 Plus posts, I can't help but imagine what this kind of posturing would look like in real life. I imagine someone who preordered the Plus standing on a street corner talking to passers by:
"Excuse me sir, can you justify my decision?"
"Ma'am, can you confirm that my big iPhone is better than the other one?"
"Sir, don't you think a higher PPI is a good reason to choose a bigger phone?"
"Anyone?"
The mere thought of ordering the superior phone helps me get over that dark time in my life, on Friday when I'm holding iPhone 6 Plus awesomeness in my hands, it will be but a blur. Before ordering, I thought to myself, "self, do you want to appear a peasant with a 6 or a GOD with a 6 Plus?" The choice was clear. What say you? Are you a peasant or a god?

It's one thing to choose the larger phone because that's what they want.
It's another to choose it because they are afraid they will become a second class citizen Apple fan, and they need to appear to be the best Apple fan by buying the super big phone because Apple added two or three minor improvements.
Then they make posts about how the 6 is the 5C, and the insecure 6 Plus owners all circle jerk each other until they truly convince themselves that the 6 is an inferior phone. When in reality, they are essentially the exact same under the hood which the benchmarks prove.
This insecurity is not apparent in the 15" MBP owners which benefit from a larger screen, improved battery life, and many other things. These 15" MBP owners actually have a faster computer to brag about if they want. The 6 Plus owners have no such thing.
It's just comical to read it from these iPhone fans. It's like they expect Apple to treat them better because they bought the big phone. Meanwhile, the iPhone 6 will quietly outsell the 6 Plus because the world doesn't think like these delusional Apple fans.

You should recognize when you're getting trolled... Here let me break it down for you.
After pre-orders went live there was an influx of iPhone 6 consumers "making a case" for why they think the 6 is better and how 6 Plus owners were going to return their phones. Many of these consumers would also get upset and emotionally compromised at the thought of the 6 Plus sporting better specs.
Now you have 6 Plus consumers trolling you with comments of why the Plus is superior. Except the difference is that the Plus actually DOES have better specs whereas the 6 proponents can only come up with benefits like "easier to hold" and pretend they cant put it in their pocket. You also don't see Plus owners resorting to personal attacks, as you have done, we are keeping it to the phone.
So what it boils down to is this, you are NOT the bigger person here, in spite of what you may have convinced yourself of, and you DO have the inferior phone. 😉
Whoever created this thread should be banned for 24 hours on this site. The 5c had a different/slower/crappy processor, was essentially plastic, wasn't even in the same league as the 5s.

The question was answered and put to bed on the first response. Why is this thread still open?
It's superior in the same way a 6 Plus is superior to a 6.
Thanks for proving the closing points I made. 😉
