iPhone 6 Plus Review: Oversized and Undercooked | Pocketnow

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Very balanced review. Now wait for the Verge's review "This is the best phone, buy this phone, don't buy any other phone, buy this phone, it has no problems, it's perfect, nothing about it could be better, Apple has made the perfect phone, buy this phone - here is the competition, they work really well have loads more features and they cost a lot less, but you shouldn't buy them, you should buy this phone - did I say you should buy this phone already? Because you should buy this phone... just buy this phone"

[@oryanol]

😁😁😁😁 exactly, the verge is just about apple.

[@Des9301.]

Hahahlool

[@thachillest1]

LMAO true story

[@paulmarca1]

I unsubscribed from their channel few days ago when I saw how they talk about Apple. Patethic 😆

[@oryanol]

Paul Marca So did I😁😁😁

[@AbdullahDarwish]

Pocketnow reviews are the best on the internet Thanks Taylor the iphone 6 is just big old iphone

[@Tekushi]

samsung lover... u suck

[@Joel66004]

IM A UNICORN YEEY no you suck Apple lover

[@AbdullahDarwish]

IM A UNICORN YEEY actually i love apple and i hate Samsung so much

[@Joel66004]

Abdullah Darwish no you dont

[@AbdullahDarwish]

Joel66004 how do you know?

[@yourbestfriendjoshua]

This channel has legit become the BEST review channel around. Another fantastic review, Taylor. Loving my Plus.

[@Pocketnow]

Thanks for the kind words! ^TM

[@DavidEsotica]

My respect for Pocketnow has magnified 10 fold in the past week. These are some of the best, most balanced reviews I have seen on my feed.

[@ilove60s1]

your reviews are truly honest and informative, thanks!

[@SuperSa1yan7]

Good review, but I think Michael Fisher should have done it.

[@Kryo_GTS]

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, but based on yours... If Michael and Taylor were mobile operating systems, and Michael were iOS and Taylor was Android... Are you saying that iOS is better than Android?

[@SuperSa1yan7]

Peter Bailey Comments are like stains, but based on yours, it's a shit stain on the underwear of life. Apparently logical jumps and fallacies are praised nowadays because your comment is probably the dumbest I've read throughout my day on the internet. To address what you have said - which makes no sense at all - I am not saying iOS is better than Android and I left no evidence whatsoever in my original comment; I do think that iOS is superior in some cases, but that point was in no way conveyed in my comment. "Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one," LOL I wonder where the hell you picked that up from, but I'd advise you to find something more catchy or at least funny. Good luck, message me if you need help! And if you reply saying that the comment was a joke, still message me because you need help buddy.

[@Kryo_GTS]

Assholes, shit stains, i see what you did there...kudos but honestly I'm actually impressed that you not only took the time from to come down from cloud nine to share you thoughts and opinions but you gave me what looks like two whole paragraphs? of which ultimately means nothing to me. Insults in the form of tasteless jokes coming from a ghost. Why so serious?

[@SuperSa1yan7]

Lol "why so serious" coming from the guy that originally took the time out to write his own comment with his "supposed' cleverness. Making these comments for me literally take 20-30 seconds because it's very easy for me to point out stupidity. So yes, you should be impressed; my offer sill stands as well, although I know you wouldn't accept it. Go back to Twitter and follow some accounts that post up clever comments - preferably comments more clever than the one you used before - and pick up something new to start off your new comments with and hopefully be funnier. "Assholes, shit stains, i see what you did there...kudos..." Thanks man! You commended me for my CLEVERNESS. GG. Good luck on improving.

[@Kryo_GTS]

I'm actually bored now...

[@alfonslefou]

finally a real review, authentic. good for you pocketnow.

[@mrquicky]

A real review has benchmark results.

[@colombiantom]

mrquicky maybe, but what do benchmarks provide? we know that quadcores or even octacores don´t perform better than apples dualcore A-chips.

[@jaypob]

mrquicky A review that focuses on the wrong thing has benchmark results. With the exception of battery life, benchmarks are almost meaningless vs real life usability.

[@mrquicky]

jaypob real life usability is meaningless when you don't actually own the device. Anyone can claim fantastic real-world performance. Windows mobile users do it all the time. Benchmarks help consumers make informed decisions about how the device measures up to against other devices on the market. Numbers don't lie.

[@jaypob]

mrquicky We'll just have to agree to disagree. Real life is far from meaningless as it tells the consumer what to expect. Numbers have variability, and "don't lie" doesn't mean the same thing as "have meaning." You have what's more important to you, I have what's more import to me. Different strokes for different folks.

[@TroyMB651]

iPhone 6 Plus owner here, review was on point. I really like this phone a lot, been using iPhones since day one and this by far is the best one imo.

[@ZfromBrooklyn]

I'm not gonna lie, I was actually very impressed Applenow. This was surprisingly a great non biased review.

[@Zantetsukens]

Love your honest comments about Apple being unable to take advantage of the Plus's bigger screen real estate

[@Scerttle]

Much more slick mentioning of the Squarespace sponsorship.

[@LuideMulumba]

That title, I couldn't have said it better myself

[@marvincabrera700]

I just picked the Samsung Galaxy S5 over the LG G3. And to be honest I don't complain about it. The Samsung Galaxy S5 might not be the best phone right now but it fits into my everyday life perfectly. Greetings from Santa Ana, El Salvador.

[@JamalienN]

Finally a review with no Apple bias

[@ChesterFoster]

Great review. Are you going to keep the iPhone 6 Plus as your main device?

[@LockiFlycatcher]

quite a nice, honest, and critical review. thumbs up!

[@Exypnos]

72 g iPhone 6? Did you take the battery out and then scale it???

[@Pocketnow]

It's supposed to be 172g, but there was a typo in my script and I didn't catch it during editing. Thanks for catching. I'll drop an annotation to avoid further confusion. ^TM

[@Exypnos]

Pocketnow WOAH THEY REPLIED. I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT. HI.

[@lilmario0]

Mom get the camera!

[@caseypierce2724]

lilmario0 oh baby a triple!

[@jeremyvandale9252]

XD

[@utubedano]

Fair and unbiased review as usual....

[@benjaminguilbault2986]

Woah! Piedmont Triad?! I'm in Winston. That literally blew my mind.

[@Pocketnow]

Not sure if my green hoodie is in this video or not. It's a Winston-Salem hoodie I bought to represent! Just moved back a few months ago. ^TM

[@Mirai8]

Great video TM! I like your review better than Michael Fisher's review. He had a terrible title heading for the video... Took it down and disabled comments... Your reviews are much more honest and personal. Only my opinion I like both of you guys, great review nonetheless!

[@KhiTurner]

*_Finally_** an honest review thusly why this video has a great "like ratio"*

[@ECDT1089-EtheLamborghini]

I've been using a phablet for over two years now, and I'm so glad to see Apple on board. I'm in the minority, I like iOS and Android

[@jayr122001]

I did a great decision on picking note 4 today than iphone sux plus... Note 4 is an awesome device worth the money ive spent

[@ny3ali]

Very honest very on point with this review thank you,you spoke your mind .

[@JDMunky]

IMO Taylor Martin is great at reviews and not so much with unboxings. Great review in a compact 9min vid.

[@nolainnogain]

While I agree that most phones bend with amount of force demonstrated, some did not. And what really has me worried is putting it in my pocket, which is something I've never worried about before. I know, as MKBHD said, there isn't magnesium in the chassis so it isn't as rigid as most other phones.

[@abhrrverma4504]

What was the game you played with that space shuttle little thingie and please link those gorgeous wallpapers . Thnxx for the gr8 review

[@knarfzednem]

Also, optical image stabilization will not help you much, if at all, when talking pictures of people or anything that moves. The only thing that will help you in low-light situations, are a faster shutter speed and better high iso performance.

[@TheGamingBrothers567]

I'm new to your videos, and guess what, Im loving it. Heres a question, Is the iPhone 6 plus too big with a case?

[@joefrancis7881]

Great detailed review.

[@SAINT656]

Still got my iPhone 5s great phone love it I really hope they bring a 6s out the same size I'm not to keen on the 6 plus just to big nice phones but I prefer the 4inch display I don't think I would buy a phone that had a display over 5 inches ! 5s best phone I've owned

[@violian5]

At 5:37, I applaud that you have a 1/18 scale Kyosho Audi R8 model.

[@martinewski]

It would be helpful if the reviewer informed what exactly could be done (that Apple didn't as he says) with software to really 'use' the big display.

[@diveshparyani]

Great review man, I think it's too big for me, I've been using small phones like Nokia 5800, samsung s duos, iPhone 4 my entire life, it will be too hard to use the plus. How is one hand usability on the 6? Can u reach the top without reach ability feature?

[@VeemoAKU]

Really nitpicky, but the tone of your conclusion made it seem like there was another closing sentence that got cut off at the end. I was surprised when the video suddenly ended.

[@kevinmgates]

Great job man

[@amiri679]

When will the iPhone 6s plus come out? in the beginning of 2015 or the end?

[@9997353083surajsun]

Where is Michael fisher?

[@TheGreatestDaneEver]

He reviewed the 6.

[@DefiantFrost]

I love that you love Between the Buried and Me. I LOVE IT.

[@aytomylan299]

Iphone 6 has the perfect design

[@Joel66004]

Jan Smit ben je hier ook? Haha

[@Des9301.]

No. It doesn't. There is no "perfect" or "best" designs. It's all personal preference.

[@MrKoolAidMan68]

A perfect design wouldn't be bendable.

[@friskypikachuz]

***** Shots fired, but seriously the antenna placement looks dreadful.

[@jacoman5151]

Almost. The camera shouldn't stick out but it has to, the antenna bands look like shit, the aluminium is light but prone to bending. The glass is exposed on the front.

[@sicdedworm09]

haha you're really digging BTBAM lately! did you pick up the future sequence blu ray today? its so damn good

[@Pocketnow]

I've been jamming out to BTBAM since high school. Favorite band of all time. ^TM

[@sicdedworm09]

same here. one of the only bands where i can listen to their albums from start to finish on a weekly basis without getting sick of them

[@yathani]

Pocketnow has 15 videos regarding the Iphone 6. Don't you think its enough?

[@MLBOWLER]

Excellent review Taylor, as always. I'm still thinking about which one to buy, it's about the size. I change to Android because the size of the screen, first Samsung s4 (soo bad experience) later to the most beautiful phone ever HTC one. Now I have the Xperia Z2, but is the software what's make me missed the iOS, is so bad the ui in other brands, the only who can get stabilization is HTC.

[@karl5874]

I don't have the iPhone 6 but it seems odd that you say the display is on the warm side... Measurements say 7300K for both 6 and 6+ which would be extremely cold...

[@TrevBec]

I've sent mine back. The screen is great, speaker is good, the lack of optimised apps however, was a real disappointment. It should have been able to scale down iPad apps instead of up scaling iPhone apps for a four inch screen. They just look terrible at the moment.

[@Darien0309]

what type of case did you have on the phone and do you like it?

[@deancuban894]

Month later, hey guys I'm gonna do review and overlook on the iPhone 6

[@denniswettke4828]

Watching this on my galaxy note 3... And I am sitting on it... No bends at all

[@TheSam6141]

Great review.

[@TylerJuranovich]

Gotta believe Apple will add more usability/reasons to buy the bigger model. Who knows, though. The only reason to get this instead of the 6 is the battery. Nothing else. Good review!

[@fredrikh5602]

Very good video and review! Something that is very annoying is that when the iPhone is in landscape mode - in the message app - and you want to attach a picture from the Photo Library it opens the photo-app in portrait mode! Even iPhone 6 Plus! This is very frustrating and means that you still have to turn the iPhone to portrait mode to select the picture to attach. Furthermore, you can not select multiple images at once. The strange thing is that the photo app itself is rotating to landscape mode - but why not when to attach pictures to messages?

[@AqibQadeer]

I'm amazed on his inability to see skipped frames specially in asphalt 8 and that ping pong game

[@dahumbleprof]

I wanted this phone over the coming Note 4 (and I have a Note 3) but then I saw it bend... quite a lot! So my desire for Apple's 'remarkable' build quality dried out completely. -_- I'm getting a Note 4 in a couple of weeks' time. ^_^

[@Rasenano]

brdzuna Dunno man. The iPhone's bent boomerang mode might just be what my dog needs.

[@natsuhategplus352]

That isn't the only reason that getting the iPhone 6 over the Note 4 would be a bad idea...

[@brentclarke5920]

Most likely phone companies paid for those bending videos. If you wait till when more people get their iphones then go check how many bending videos youll see

[@guilhermefontoura]

Same here, but I'm not sure yet. I don't like Samsung camera quality (lots of megapixels but still not quite there on stills. Haven't seen 1080p 60fps though). On every other areas (multitasking, spen, screen) I'm looking forward to. Currently on a SGS4.

[@dahumbleprof]

***** lol... You must be kidding me, mate! :D A friend of mine has the S5 and its camera quality is top-notch! It's among the best out there today and I even expect a better one from this Note 4! :)

[@J_232]

Nice Rubik's cube, what's your best time?

[@alex16006]

Those are mine...I'm not very fast at all - best time is just under a minute.

[@gallyt00r]

What's that speedy game he's playing??

[@duh4201]

What is the game you are playing in the review. I want it bad. Looks fun! It is iOS only?

[@TheresNoMorePrivacy]

Asphalt 8, available from Gameloft on both Android and osisoios

[@duh4201]

Sorry not that game but the line game.

[@faisalmuhammad6681]

let me know here if someone did find the name of that line game

[@loki101101]

It's called ALONE - you're welcome ;-)

[@dvoraak]

I'm thinking about going back to iPhones. I love my Android phones but..... iPhone use to be the only reasonable choice pre-ICS. Then Google caught up in quality with ICS and, of course, you got all that awesome customization. Now, with iOS 8, Apple has copied enough of Android's features to make it an attractive choice again. Seriously thinking about picking up an iPhone 6 Plus.

[@JohnDraco]

The iphone 6 plus 64 gb price in malaysia is like 1527 usd...

[@dojo8181]

I've been waiting for an iOS phone that's larger. I like the Plus better than the smaller one, the iPhone 6 regular didn't seem that much bigger than the 5S.

[@macinman]

How does the phone feel when pulling it out for Apple Pay? usually that's one handed, and just by looking at the size of the phone, and feeling my 6, makes me kind of cringe thinking it could be easy to drop the larger phone. How does that actually work out ? I didn't get the 6 plus because of budget, and feeling more comfortable with a smaller phone. For a larger display, I prefer a computer, or television.

[@Gatsbyofsorts]

Agree 100%. I can't see why that large phone would be appealing. Well as they say, "Cada loco a su tema."

[@kevinkev1530]

Good review

[@mariasague5843]

What case is that? Looks nice

[@2technodweebs99]

Optical image stabilization. He said it.

[@MAREK14RO]

Hi, i have a LG G2 and im thinkin on get the iPhone 6 Plus, do you think its going to be easy to adapt myself to the size? Thanks.

[@bokismokitoki]

The iPhone 6 is the better option. Nice sized display, great hardware and its more comfortable to hold.

[@osoifamf]

What's sad is a 2014 phone with 2012 specs running circles around the rest The 6plus has probably the best camera killer battery the build is nicer I'm suspect on the bend gate sounds samsungy I have sit on mines keep it it in my front pocket and it's absolutely perfect this phones really is dam near perfect I shouldn't have to grow a set lol and root my phone just to get it to work

[@Wahbufet]

Can anyone tell me whats the exact name and maker of that Table tennis game pretty please. Thank you, ipad air user here...

[@Pocketnow]

Table Tennis Touch ^TM

[@Wahbufet]

Thanks... And done dloading... game time

[@Chrispmedia]

What was that game that was playing during the review? The one that looks like its in space and its dodgeing all the meteorites or something?

[@felifa2607]

Where can I get the wallpaper??

[@thehonestguy9654]

Let's face it.Everyone's complaining that Apple didn't take advantage of the 5.5 inch display but if they would have(for example if they had introduced multi window) wouldn't everyone have yelled:"You coppied Samsung again!"?

[@Pocketnow]

No. I never harp on who copies who, but rather who implements the same features in a more compelling way. ^TM

[@JayVersace345]

Review the vibration of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus?

[@Macsk8ing]

A phone less than 5.5" is useless for me, I can't stand small phones.

[@Cbeezy771]

IPhone honnestly got the design right when they made the 5. If I get an iPhone it Def have to be the 7 plus (I'm assuming once they brand the plus better features for bigger screen will come). But for now I'm most likely considering a note 4.

[@USA__WILL]

People wanted a bigger iphone and now that they have it, they complain that they didn't do it right.

[@Check_Please]

What were the two games that were displayed in the video? The ping pong game and the other one where you were flying in the air? Does anyone know?

[@zone07]

3rd Party developers should be able to take advantage of that larger size screen.

[@josephcaissie1613]

really i have been an android guy with the big phones .....this feels nice in the hand not slippery dont shy people away with silly shit this phone is awesome by far the best phone ive ever owned ....the one gig of ram sux wish it was two but this phone is fast and smooth now ios 9 is out this is my first apple device and maybe im uneducated about i phones because this is my first but with this phone i now see the hype of i phone buy it it is awesome

[@yuhkooza]

"Apple has gone back to a unibody design." Uhh, pretty much every iPhone has been unibody.

[@lumdermaku]

What's that game at 8:20 the one with some rocks and stones???

[@bianconerias]

I also wanna know !!

[@Pocketnow]

Alone. ^TM

[@RahilChoudhary]

Which game were you playing near the end?

[@LegendTheAnonymous]

I've had iPhones since the iphone 2. The iPhone 6 plus I'm not getting for sure. For me, that would be completely useless. The iPhone 6 is nicer, but at the same time it's the iPhone I have been the least impressed with so far since the iPhone 2. So I'm seriously considering getting something like an Xperia Z3 Compact.

[@abbasstaha3406]

no the z3 compact's battery and screen resolution is garbage tbh. I too was a long time iPhone user but I switched from the 5s to the galaxy s5 and haven't regreted it at all, I really suggest the note series or the s5. also the new moto x and HTC one m8 are also amazing

[@AlexBaloch]

I say go for the Xperia Z3 compact. Leave ios. I traded my iPhone 5s for an xperia z1, and it was the best decision I've made.

[@ForgingMastered]

Abbass Taha Lol are you an idiot? The Z3 compact has been tested and has the best battery of any smartphone. And last time I checked 720p is in no way garbage, especially on a 4.6" screen.

[@stillyas85]

Alex Baloch as much as I love Android, the Z1 compared to 5S is garbage lol you could have done a better trade.

[@ForgingMastered]

stillyas85 lolwut

[@gallyt00r]

Still need to know the name of the game, had a search with no luck 😪

[@aravindmani304]

Isn't there hidden code in ios 8 that allows split screen multitasking? Could this be why they left the box blank? Should I be worried about bendgate if i put it in a case?

[@CameronMorrisonTV]

I love my 6 plus i got the 128gb in gold through t-mobile and could not be happyer other then the ios 8 bugs.

[@kavinab6629]

Same here love it... But I do wanna tweak a few things. When I get my jailbreak it will be perfect

[@CameronMorrisonTV]

yes this is what ive been waiting for from apple for years.

[@jagtianiash961]

What is the name of that table tennis game you're playing?

[@odoylerulz3476]

Still waiting for my 128GB to arrive. It says Oct 20-27 delivery. Anybody else in the same boat?

[@poeticsea]

My phones ETA is in the middle of Dec. sucks!

[@nikhilniks95]

Which game are you playing on the phone?

[@knarfzednem]

Did I miss something here? What other advantages does a larger screen entail? All the gimmicks of larger Note phones are just that. The few people I know that have large-screened phones don't use them any differently than a "normal" sized phone.

[@RitaGreen]

Why the 16gig size? I bet Apple realizes the 5c was a flop and wanted to do away with that model, yet still put out a "less expensive" option for people who cant afford the bigger gig phones.

[@saifnasseragha4233]

If Steve was he was gonna keep the 3.5 inch screen. And made the camera like 18 mega pixels

[@Jokamutta]

But will it Bend ? That is the question

[@chrisreis19]

Between the Buried and Me! Heck yea.

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

If iPhone 6 Plus were made a little bit thicker, the #bendgate problem would be solved, and a larger battery could be installed.

[@GhayoorArshad]

What game were they playing towards the end?

[@Pelda232]

Should I give my galaxy s6 for iPhone 6 plus?

[@Fanstachetic]

yes

[@BlackDT]

no

[@Quagmire97]

+Eldar Ljevakovic yeah Samsung is trash

[@CH-iz4zr]

Depends If ur familiar with iOS Go with it But the s6 has a little more features like the heart rate Plus the camera is a bit better Isn't it ???

[@shanicegrande8631]

I wanna buy these phones in full. for a cheap price. does anyone know any trustworthy sites? new or good condition?

[@bigmaxcc]

ebay

[@henoch44]

Still no expandable micro sd slot? No buy.

[@astifcaulkinyeras]

What was that game you were playing at the end?

[@camlwatts]

I like mash potatoes, just saying...

[@twistedmystery4life]

Ha me 2

[@kingbey9459]

[@insatiable2rossi]

love it :)
