The folks in Cupertino have brought the iPhone into 2014 in typical Apple fashion: by implementing deceptively simple upgrades with admirable finesse. The new iPhone is more than just a bundle of software refinements mated to a larger display; it's a near-perfect blend of new ideas and proven, honed...

 Outstanding build quality and feel in hand;  iOS more adaptable and capable than ever before;  Solid acoustic experience from earpods to loudspeaker;  iPhone app/accessory ecosystem still the strongest of all platforms

The iPhone 6 is available, directly from Apple, in Silver, Gold, and Space Gray trims and capacities of 16GB ($649), 64GB ($749) or 128GB ($849). This being Apple, there's no MicroSD expansion; the capacity you buy is what you're stuck with for the duration of your time with the phone

The larger screen, long battery life and great performance more than make up for minor niggles like certain features not being available in the UK.

Large high-quality display; excellent design; user-friendly; decent security features; fast performance; good battery life

Delay for Apple Pay and WiFi voice calls/VoLTE in UK

The iPhone 6 is a really great smartphone . The new design is very convenient and the manufacturer uses high-quality materials. The build quality is on an excellent level and the performance is first-class as well.

Excellent build quality, Great performance, Decent camera, Very good voice quality, Great display, Decent battery runtimes, Good headphones, We like the build quality and the new design; But the display is convincing as well and finally bigger

NFC can only be used for Apple Pay, Micro stutters, Flash overexposes pictures, Storage cannot be expanded, No LTE Cat; 6, Power adaptor to weak, Issues with some car hands-free solutions, Apple's leadership in terms of innovations.

Apple is probably the only electronics company that can upset the smartphone status quo with a single announcement. When the iPhone 6 became official, longtime fans hammered the company's servers and stores for the privilege of being one of its first owners.

It's extremely thin; pleasingly light and eminently comfortable; with a 4.7-inch screen that's gorgeous despite its relatively low resolution

Disappointingly; its battery life isn't much better than what was packed into the iPhone 5s; and lags behind other major competitors.

This device is fast. The fingerprint recognition is excellent, no hiccups as on iPhone 5. Siri works very well, you can see the transcription as you talk. The feel of the hardware is good.

So what if you don't want a giant phone in your life? What if 4.7 inches is all you need? Try the iPhone 6. As we found out from our review, you're unlikely to be disappointed.

Incredibly polished device; Great all-purpose mobile camera; iOS 8 is fantastic

Some specs aren't as high as they should be; Some features don't work in Australia yet; Expensive

We started this review with a rant we had been holding in for a while. Having gone all the way, we got to see a better side to the iPhone 6, inevitably warming up to it. What these few days didn't change however is how we feel about Apple's way of doing business.

For the first time, the big question for Apple fans isn't "are you getting a new iPhone?" It's which iPhone are you getting. A 6 or the ginormous 6 Plus? Yes, the 5 came in two flavors too, but let's be real-no one debated whether to get a 5c or a 5s at launch last year.

Fantastic 8-megapixel camera with improved low light performance, super fast shutter speed, and jaw-dropping 1080p video capture; Zippy overall performance.

One-handed usability isn't so easy, despite onscreen workarounds; Phone design is so slick it's almost slippery.

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.

A larger, sharper and brighter -- but still one-hand-friendly -- 4.7-inch display, a sleeker design and a faster processor all combine to make the iPhone 6 a solid device. If you're looking to stay in Apple's ecosystem, the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus has a better camera and longer battery life, but many...
