We thought at first that Apple would not explore to larger screen phones as they are known with their smaller iPhones by model but because of the larger demand of the smartphone market on larger screens, we think that Apple took a risk on creating a phablet they hope to be as competitive against present phablets out now in the market.

But the question is: Does the iPhone 6 Plus have the features needes to compete with other leading phablets in the market? Join us in finding out what's beneath the new iPhone 6 Plus.

iPhone 6 Plus make just look like the big brother of iPhone 6- which has larger screen and longer battery life in the expense of pocketability but today, remember that many consumers believes that bigger is better. Which is why we find the move of Apple good in creating a phone which caters to majority of the market.

The iPhone 6 Plus is powered with an A8 processor, built in a 5.5-inch 1080p screen and fueled with an upgraded battery which can stay for as long as 80 hours on standby mode. It may not have the same octa-core processor of Sams7ng but remember that iPhone focuses more on the user experience and not just on performance alone.

The device may be uncomfortable holding at first due to its large size but it feels light on the other hand as its only 7.1mm thick. It's made fro. materials found on the iPhone 6, with the same metallic / ceramic feel which we can compare to the iPad Air. Lastly, the round edges which we often see on iPhones perfectly fits on the device. In fact, it looks and feels nice on the bigger iPhone.

With its big screen, the iPhone 6 Plus is expected to have great display. Apple has done a great job in building the iPhone 6 Plus with a 1920x1080 screen, to differentiate it from the iPhone 6. This basically means that you'll get a more rewarding experience in terms of vibrant and clearer visuals on the screen. In addition, the iPhone 6 Plus has an upscaler to allow apps to look great without the developer having to do anything about its resolution to fit in the new device.

Even if we have said earlier that the iPhone 6 Plus focuses on user experience, this does not mean that they are lacking on the performance department. Users can now have the luxurious experience they did not receive from iPhone 5S, with the iPhone 6 Plus having increased processor and larger screen size. The 50% increase in processing, combined with the 100% increase in battery life could mean that Apple may finally solve the problem on how to prolong their iPhone's battery life.

Also, it's expected that the iPhone 6 Plus will bring quality gaming experience to users. The bigger screen with higj quality resolution and as well as its gripability ensures a great experience in terms of gaming. In opposite, we can safely assume that the device will be less use as a phone. It will be more towards the usability as a tablet than a phone whose uses focuses on communication.

However, this doesn't mean that iPhone 6 Plus falls short on this department. In fact, we find it more efficient as a phone than its predecessor, the iPhone 5S. The larger screen is a good news as it enhances the messaging capabilities of the phone. Compared to iPhone 5S which has smaller keys to peck on, the iPhone 6 Plus offers increase ability to type giving consumers a more easier way of texting with others.

The biggest addition to the newest iPhone devices (including iPhone 6 Plus) is Apple's Pay System which you can use both in offline and online. In offline mode- you just only need to select a card from Passbook, hold the phone to the payment terminal, use TouchID to verify your fingerprint and you're done. While in online, the Apple Pay System works similarly like Paypal- it also has a dedicated button you can use to pay, and if you're using a phone with a fingerprint scanner then you can use that for verification rather than tapping out a password. The Pay system both works well in offline and online however, the only downside is its exclusiveness. Apple Pay needs and iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus to work at the moment, as you'll need the NFC chip inside to enable contactless payments.

In terms of its camera, the iPhone 6 Plus has the same 8MP sensor camera with improved iSight, like the iPhone 6. It's a very adept camera which has the ability to record 240fps slo-mo and paired with the large screen, it's safe to say that the iPhone 6 Plus fairs well with other tablets out now in the market.

However, Apple did change something to differentiate the two new devices. They made sure that the larger device would stand out as they have given it an optical image stabilisation, rather than the digital method used on the iPhone 6. This means that images are clearer, less blurry and can even take in more light thanks to being more stable when pressing the shutter button.

Last to discuss is its pricing. When users choose one of T-Mobile's Simple Choice plans, they can get the 16GB iPhone 6 Plus with $0 down and can be paid off in 24 equal monthly payments of $31.24. The total cost is equivalent to an off-contract phone, which $750.

iPhone 6 Plus is really a good deal for a phablet. It may not have an octa-core processor, or it may be too expensive, but it will not be left behind by other phablets out in the market. The iPhone 6 Plus is a sure winner in terms of fabulous design and great screen technology. And, just imagine what it can do when Apple releases the iOS 8 with Metal Upgrades on it.
