The iPhone 6 Plus is the "Must-Have" Phone

Interesting... So 64 GB Space Gray 6 is the most popular? I plan on getting the 128 GB Gold 6 Plus. Space Gray looks odd to me with the black front and the contrasting light gray back.
My biggest issue with the 6+ is it feels compromised. The 1920*1080 screen isn't correct in the iOS world, and needs to be scaled. I'm assuming its successor will be a proper 2208*1242 resolution.

Glad I'm living on planet Earth, where HD is 1920x1080. iOS world doesn't seem like a fun place to be with those wacky resolutions...
I'm going to say for your sake I hope it does, but gawd that game gives me a massive headache.
The iPhone 6 plus does not suit everyone's individual needs. For example some might feel uncomfortable holding a phone of such proportions in their hands or against there face when answering calls. My reasons to get the get the 6+ is that I a ton of movies purchased from the iTunes store since I have ditched physical media, so naturally the bigger the screen the more better they will look, also my iPad Air is too heavy to hold while in bed.
However there is a question on my part how far will i go with the screen size in the future, i guess that depends on whether or not it will fit comfortably in my hands and pocket.

I really enjoy his informative reviews and he's nice to look at too. Yes, I'm a woman.

1080p has 2x more pixels than 750p.
426 DPI has 30% more pixels in the same area as 326 DPI.
It's small, but it's not that small.
I don't think many people realize this yet. I can definitely tell a difference in sharpness when running my retina MacBook Pro in a scaled resolution. So for me, it's not even about a possible performance penalty associated with scaling. I prefer 1:1 pixel mapping, when possible.
I ended up getting a regular 6 partially due to this.
Just pointing out the difference in pixels and pixel density in the iPhone 6 vs 6+.
But if you don't recognize those numbers then you probably haven't looked up the tech specs of both the phones yet.
It wont have new features you can actually use. I suspect itll be spec sheet padding with worse real world performance than an iPhone.
Good stats from reddit.
Reddit probably has a higher percentage of normal/casual users...while people who regularly visit forums are a bit more enthusiast level.
Why would the Nexus 6 have issues like that when the Nexus 5 doesn't?
We will see, but so far Nexus has been having new features that can be used, iPhone took quite a few of them...
Yes, a 100% increase in pixels is a small difference.
33% increase in DPI is also a small difference.
Very small indeed.
Are you slow? A 100% increase in pixels with an increase in screen size all but cancels itself.
...and I'll repeat.....on a screen so small you won't notice the difference.

64GB, 6, Space Grey still the most popular though.
I'm not sure why you're trying to argue that it doesn't cancel itself.
And no, maybe you won't notice the difference, but you can't dictate whether other people will or will not notice it.
Regardless, if you think that a 100% increase in pixels and 33% increase in DPI is so small, I'm not going to argue with your perception. I'm simply pointing out numbers and facts.
Not even....besides the optical image stabilization, the other two aspects were crucial with an increase in screen size.
Bigger screen needs a bigger battery.
Bigger screen needs more pixels to remain competitive with the other devices on the market.
All else is equal.
A bigger screen doesn't make a better phone. If that were the case the iPhone would have been discontinued years ago falling to Samsung and their huge devices.
Assuming both models are similarly clocked and have the same amount of RAM, will the 6 Plus run games a little slower than the 6?
I take pics of food at restaurants as well as the friends I eat out with, so the OIS would really be useful to me. That size though..
Yes, I would expect the 6+ to be slower. Will it be noticeable? Afterall the iPad Air and retina mini do well with even more pixels and older A7? All depends on how efficient the scaler is.
The new OIS camera may be perfect for the food part, it doesnt move. People breathe and figit... It remains to be seen what variables Apple has accounted for.
It would be really REALLY clever if they use their new face detection algorythm to see a face, and disable OIS as the shutter speed slows down. I wouodnt count on it though, will be interesting to see.

... There is nothing about planet earth, or natural sciences that have any direct corrolation with 1080P. FYI, its just some hollywood specification.
