Rivals usurping market share have pushed Apple to dig deep and do something it's only done once in seven years: increase the size of its iPhone's screen. Even with the face lift, the iPhone introduces nothing new to the smartphone market and little else to Apple's existing users.

Vibrant display; Aesthetic; simple software; Premium aluminium body; Proficient camera modes

Apple's strict governance; Data- and battery-intensive

Aside from the increased display size, we did not see anything else significant when upgrading from the iPhone 5S to the iPhone 6. The iPhone 5S is as smooth, flawless and beautiful as the iPhone 6.

S ince one week the new iPhone 6 is available in two versions, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. Both models have a larger display than its predecessor, yet the new smartphones are a lot thinner.

After years of letting Samsung, HTC and LG, to name a few adversaries, boast about having larger smartphone displays than it, Apple's finally fighting back with the iPhone 6. There's no doubt the iPhone 6 is the best iPhone to date. Every new iPhone is the best iPhone (yes, I even loved the 5c).

The iPhone 6 is the thinnest, best designed iPhone of all time and its 4.7-inch display hits the spot. But as always the higher capacity models are very expensive.

iPhoto and OS X Mavericks 'just can't even' with some of the new iPhone's photo features; Front FaceTime camera trails the status quo of other premium smartphones; NFC is limited to Apple Pay; which won't be turned on for a couple weeks; LTE is increasingly everywhere; but HD Voice; VoLTE and WiFi...

I've used many devices in the past few years but despite a tendency to stick towards Android (mainly because 90%+ of devices I review are Android based), I've always tried the lat ...

On the surface many will look at the new iPhone 6 and pick at it for being late to the large-screened party, for its lack of 4K video recording or waterproofing. If those are the attributes you're after, the Android camp offers a number of great alternatives, but… …If you're looking for one of the...

With the iPhone 6, Apple has finally produced a decent-sized smartphone. If you own an iPhone 5 or even a 5s, the upgrade from a 4-inch to a 4.7-inch display alone makes the iPhone 6 worthy of consideration. But it's not just the display that will make iPhone fans happy.
