The Best iPhone 6 Case

iPhone 6 Plus vs Sony, Samsung, HTC, LG, Google & Nokia smartphones

Apple has gone to great lengths to present its debut phablet as a top-of-the-line beast of a machine, with enough processing horsepower to shame HAL 9000 and a large enough screen to put your local multiplex out of business. However, the iPhone 6 Plus is a relative latecomer to this particular race, and it’s got some substantial competition.



You can read our full review of the iPhone 6 Plus here, or a comparison review of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus here.

Display
The iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5in display, which Apple describes as Retina HD. It's 1080x1920 pixels, which equates to a good pixel density of 401ppi, better than the 326ppi of the iPhone 6.

Design
Apple is well-known for its sleek, sophisticated designs, and the iPhone 6 Plus is no exception, despite its enormous screen. It's made with anodised aluminium available in Silver, Gold or Space Grey, and has a soft, curved design. It weighs 172g (compared with 129g for the iPhone 6) and is a slim 7.1mm thick, just .2mm thicker than the iPhone 6.

Specs
Inside the iPhone 6 Plus is Apple's A8 processor, paired with an M8 co-processor and 1GB of RAM. Combined, those chips are powerful and efficient, and manage to beat many of Apple's smartphone rivals in our benchmark tests.

Capacities: 16GB, 64GB, 128GB (no microSD card slot for expansion)
Connectivity: 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, 4G.

Camera
The iPhone 6 Plus's camera offers a slight improvement over the iPhone 6, with an 8Mp rear-facing iSight camera with optical image stabilisation, 1.5 micron pixels, a dual-LED flash, f/2.2 aperture and 1080p video recording. On the front is a 1.2Mp front-facing 'FaceTime' camera, with 720p video recording and burst mode.

Additional features
The iPhone 6 Plus also includes a Touch ID fingerprint sensor beneath the home button, in addition to an NFC chip that works with ApplePay (and currently only Apple Pay, but not in the UK until later this year).

Software
The iPhone 6 Plus runs Apple's iOS 8, and will get iOS 9 when it arrives later this year.

Price
16GB - Ł619, 64GB - Ł699, 128GB - Ł789

Incipio’s steel-pinned Trestle case makes iPhone 6 Plus unbendable

Finding supposedly major flaws in new Apple products has become an expected part of the early review process — it’s now assumed that there will be a new “-gate” every year, legitimate or not. For the iPhone 6 Plus, the issue was “Bendgate,” as early adopters found that the 7.1mm-thin metal phone could be warped if sat upon or flexed in strong hands. Citing only a small number of complaints, Apple deemed Bendgate a non-issue, and sources dismissed claims that Apple had tweaked the design after initial release to strengthen its internal structure. But Apple Stores also replaced bent units without complaint, so long as the damage was determined to be unintentional.



While Bendgate was overblown, there are real-world situations where the iPhone 6 Plus can be subjected to warp-causing stresses — particularly inside pants pockets when sitting down. So Incipio has developed a solution called Trestle ($40) to solve the problem. Sold in all-black, frost and black, or frost and pink versions, Trestle uses twin steel bars to radically reduce flex potential. After a week of testing, I can tell you that it definitely works.
