The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus are wildly popular, with more than 4 million confirmed preorders. Though many people have picked their preferred version of the next-generation Apple phone, many undoubtedly remain on the fence.

In today’s video we take a look at some factors that can help you decide which iPhone to purchase. Take a look at in-depth specs, features and more to help figure out which iPhone 6 model makes sense for you.

I preordered a white and silver 64 gig iPhone 6, the Plus is too big for me
I feel cheated into watching a advertisement. That video did nothing to help me decide, sorry.
Yeah… They had to slap the 1-minute advertisement right in the middle of the video. Is this video about Yinda (purposefully misspelled) or helping us to decide an iPhone?
And… the video didn’t even contrast between the two iPhones; it just stated the “features” of both iPhones, all of which we already know. And their advice: “it’s all your preference.” Well, thanks for nothing.
You had to slap the 1-minute advertisement in the middle of the video. Is this about Yinda (purposefully misspelled) or helping us to decide an iPhone? Most probably the former.
Hey guys, just trying this site out to see if I can get a free factory unlock code from Sprint. I’ll update you if it works.

Longer battery life, better camera (Optical IS) and the higher res display pushed me to the 6 Plus. Put my preorder in less than 24 hours, but still looks like a four to six week wait. I do a lot of video production and blogging and actually use my iPhone to take photos for the blog. If they put the IS camera in the iPhone 6, I may have gone for the smaller model.
you failed to mention the different spec for the camera’s – put another ad in half way Im out off here
Still conflicted?
Watched video.
Still conflicted.
lol
did the video actually help or just a way to draw attention to their advertisement? anyway, 64GB Grey iPhone 6, i personally felt the plus was a little too big
How about seeing how the 6+ fits in different pockets? Hand sizes? Anything? How on earth is this video supposed to help a person choose between the 2 sizes?
I ordered the iPhone 6 in space gray, then realized it didn’t have the image stabilization that the 6+ has. Oh well. I just can’t imaging fitting the 6+ in my pants pocket comfortably. Who knows, I may look at the 6+ when they finally arrive in stores and decide to return the 6 and get the big one.
I love how Samsung’s most recent ad criticizes Apple for copying their large phones, yet if Apple hadn’t come out with these, Samsung would criticize Apple for not having them. Pay no attention. Samsung has a long history of idea theft, long before Apple was a competitor.
I will be ordering the iPhone 6 Plus.
Sorry, the video was not helpful. There is a great opportunity to produce a video that shows users what it would be like to use a 4.7 vs 5.5 inch iPhone but this is not it.
When you’re still in doubt after considering everything, take one step at a time and choose the smaller iPhone 6, which is still bigger than the iPhone 5.
Cult of Mac is one big christmas tree full of ads and offers. I would suggest to focus on relevant affiliate based advertising. Make a % of every AppStore and accessory sale. One non intrusive ad on every page. Keep it clean, Apple style.
I don’t know why its so hard for all these 6 vs 6Plus comparison articles to miss the four specific upgrades the 6Plus has over the 6?!? Besides the larger screen of course.
Included only on the 6Plus:
1.) Higher full 1080p resolution
2.) More durable screen that is “ion reinforced”
3.) Optical Image Stabilization
4.) Larger battery life 14hrs vs 11hrs on 6 video playback
If you absolutely need any of those features and don’t mind the enormous screen, boom decision done. I personally have a silver 128GB 6Plus scheduled for delivery Friday. If all the above features were in the smaller sibling, I would’ve stayed small, but the optical IS and bigger battery won me over.
