When Apple's introduced its two newest marquee handsets yesterday, the most readily discernible difference between the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus was their sizes. And that's no wonder -- the latter has nearly an inch more display real estate (5.5-inch vs. 4.7-inch) and weighs about 1.5 ounces more than its smaller sibling. The 6 Plus also costs $100 at each storage capacity than its smaller sibling.
But the 6 Plus is much more than just a bigger and pricier iPhone 6. There are a few key spec differences:
Screen: The 6 Plus isn't just larger -- it has a higher resolution (1,920 x 1,080 vs. 1,334 x 750) and a higher pixel density (401 pixels per inch vs. 326 ppi).
Landscape mode: The 6 Plus will be able to use special iPad-style landscape modes on some apps when the phone is held horizontally; the 6 will not.
Camera: Though both devices are equipped with an 8-megapixel lens, only the larger iPhone 6 Plus has optical image stabilization -- which should help out any unsteady hand that's shooting an image or recording a video.
Battery: In addition, the 6 Plus has a higher battery capacity, meaning you can expect to talk, watch movies, and surf the Web for a few hours longer.
