Skype for iphone 6 plus plus#
It's certainly possible to bend the iPhone 6 Plus (or really any phone or tablet), but the real issue here that hasn’t been addressed is the level of force needed to cause a certain level of elastic or plastic deformation in the material. LG seems to have a different design though, as their polymer material has a clear case of brittle failure at the limit, which saved the display from shattering. It’s clear that in the case of the Galaxy Note 3 that a great deal of the structural rigidity is tied to the display itself, so the case doesn’t quite provide much in the way of protection as the polymer used is clearly in the elastic region all the way to failure. Otherwise, everything that we’ve seen is primarily the result of fundamental differences between the two materials.
However, it seems that there is a significant amount of force needed in the first place in order to cause permanent deformation. The first is that in the case of the iPhone 6 Plus, there appears to be an area near the bottom of the volume buttons that is a weak point as we see a clear failure of the casing in this area. However, we can look at Consumer Reports’ data and come to a few conclusions about this problem. Unfortunately, I can’t destroy multiple review units in order to thoroughly investigate this issue. Of course, drawing the comparison between the iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy Note 3 inevitably raises the question of “bendgate”, which draws interesting parallels with “scuffgate” from the iPhone 5 generation. It’s definitely a tablet in this sense, but in a much more compact and pocketable form factor. At any rate, it’s physically impossible for me to use this device with one hand for most situations. The iPhone 6 Plus is on the thinner side which makes a significant impression in the hand. Overall, even though the iPhone 6 Plus is noticeably taller than the Galaxy Note 3 both feel similar in size. The only real issue here is that the top bezel on the front becomes surprisingly large, and this seems to contribute to a sense that the phone is top-heavy even though the phone is evenly balanced.Ģ.4/5GHz 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, single stream, BT 4.0, NFCĨMP iSight with 1.5µm pixels Rear Facing + True Tone FlashĨMP iSight with 1.5µm pixels Rear Facing + True Tone Flash + OIS
While the angular design of the iPhone 5 line would have looked and felt enormous in the hand, the shape is quite similar to the iPad line and is similarly comfortable in the hand, although the rounded edge really differentiates it, as does the control scheme. To this end, the iPhone 6 Plus does well. While I’ve already discussed the design of the iPhone 6, it’s important to see whether the same design translates to the iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone 6 Plus is also more expensive, with the 16GB version starting at the same price as the 64GB version of the iPhone 6. The iPhone 6 Plus is bigger, the display has higher pixel density, the camera has optical image stabilization, and iOS 8 has new app designs to take advantage of the larger screen. Unlike similarities, the differences are simple. At this point, I’m going to stop listing similarities because the iPhone 6 Plus is interesting for its differences. Both phones share the same SoC, NAND configurations, front and rear camera sensors, LED flash module, industrial/material design, TouchID home button, earpiece and speaker configuration, WiFi/BT chipset, modem, and button layout.
This brings us to the iPhone 6 Plus, which really is an extension of the iPhone 6. As a result, Apple occupies a fast-follower position at best. Until now, Apple hasn't competed in the phablet space and has thus avoided competing with Galaxy Note line that has been established as the dominant phablet for the past 3-4 generations. Without question, this device represents a significant departure from the way Apple has competed in the smartphone space. While we’ve also written about the iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus needs its own review in order to really understand the various features of the device that would otherwise be buried in the context of the iPhone 6.
