Let’s just say now that I’ve had my hands on an iPhone 6 Plus, I will never be able to go back. The iPhone 6 Plus 16 GB Gold is a thing of beauty and the best cell phone I’ve ever used. The seamless, continuous aluminum and glass design means that while it’s bigger, iPhone 6 feels just right. And it’s sleek and sexy.
Right out of the box, she’s beautiful. The iPhone 6 Plus features a 5.5-inch retina HD multi-touch display; the A8 chip for faster processing and longer battery life; the M8 motion coprocessor to track speed, distance, and even elevation; and an 8MP iSight camera to can record 1080p HD Video at 60 FPS and take incredible photos! Touch ID lets you use your fingerprint to unlock your iPhone 6 plus and make iTunes and App Store purchases with the touch of your fingertip. I love the seamless integration with all of my other Apple products and Apps.
Set up takes just minutes if you already have an Apple ID and just a few minutes more if you don’t. It was so fast to set up and sync with my existing Apple ID account and download the Apps I wanted to add to this phone. In under 10 minutes I was set up and ready to use the new iPhone 6 Plus.
It makes my iPhone 5s look puny. The photos the camera on the iPhone 6 Plus take blow away the photos I’ve seen or taken on any other cell phone. Hands down. It has a faster autofocus, 1080p HD video at 60 fps, and slo-mo video at 240 fps than previous generations of the iPhone. The last two trips I’ve taken, I’ve left my DSLR in my bag unless I really had a need or desire for depth of field that a cell phone can’t accomplish. The camera on the iPhone 6 Plus is that spectacular. The rear facing camera features a true-tone flash, which keep your flash images with truer color. It also features: sapphire crystal lens cover, backside illumination sensor, tap to focus, 5-element lens, exposure control, auto HDR for photos, improved face detection, hybrid IR filter, panorama mode (up to 43 megapixels), auto image stabilization, burst mode, photo geotagging, and optical image stabilization.
Here are some shots I took with the iPhone 6 Plus:
The view of Mount McKinley from a De Havilland Talkeetna Air Taxi…pretty high up and shaky.
Food
From a cruise boat…the water was fairly calm, but we were still moving and quite a distance away.
The display is gorgeous. The color is incredible. I love that you can change the size of the icons…if you want to be similar to the smaller iPhones, you can do so, or you can take advantage of all the space you have on the 5.5-inch retina HD display of the iPhone 6 plus.
Have I sold you yet? Seriously, if you are in the market for a new phone, this is the one. It’s the next one for me, that’s for sure. And for a limited time, if you buy any iPhone now at AT&T, you can also get an iPad Mini for $149.99!!
