The difference between an iPhone 5, and iPhone 6, and an iPhone 6 Plus sounds like it would obvious, but it’s not: a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 has a 38% bigger screen than an iPhone 5, and the 5.5-inch iPhone Plus has a screen that is almost 89% larger than the 4-inch iPhone 5s. The point is, it can be hard to mentally visualize the difference between a 4-inch iPhone, a 4.7-inch iPhone, and a 5.5-inch iPhone.
Apple knows this. That’s why in the latest issue of Rolling Stone, Cupertino’s advertising department has taken out a full page ad, showing the actual size of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. All you need to do to see how much bigger an iPhone 6 is over your current phone is place it next to the magazine.
Very simple, but also very brilliant. For the iPhone 6, Apple’s selling size, not speed, and this is a great way to make it relatable to everyone. Nicely done, Apple.

Iphone 6 plus bend test. Google it.
*Insert any phone* bend test. Google it!
The best thing to happen to the Android fan world in years, iPhones can bend when you exert enough pressure. How embarrassing for Android fans to be so concerned about products they apparently don’t want. Apple fans could give a shit about Samsung and Android and don’t feel the need to troll around the internet looking for buttons to push. What’s the latest and greatest Samsung phone?, hell… I don’t know and I could care less.
I want my iPhone 6Plus now!!!
