How big is the iPhone 6 Plus? These photos give a good size comparison

By Malarie Gokey Updated September 29, 2014

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are undoubtedly bigger than your average iPhone, but just how big are they really? We took it upon ourselves to compare the two new iPhones to other well-known smartphones and everyday objects to give you an idea of their size.

In our comparison photos, we used cardboard iPhone 6 and 6 Plus mockups from a case manufacturer that recently sent us some iPhone cases. The mockups are the exact size of the real iPhone 6 models. We then added out 4-inch iPhone 5 to the mix to add some perspective.

We compared the new iPhones to the Samsung Galaxy S series, the LG G2, a few 7-inch tablets, the One Plus One, and other smartphones. We also put the iPhone 6 models next to a banana, water bottle, soda can, pen, toy truck, and other everyday objects, as you can see in the slideshow above. We’ve added a few more objects recently.

How to fast charge your iPhone

While they may not be some of the longest-lasting smartphones on the market, modern iPhones boast more than respectable battery life that should be able to get you through an entire day's use without breaking too much of a sweat. Of course, that assumes a lot of things — including a battery that's still relatively new and in good health, plus a usage pattern that doesn't include all-day streaming or gaming.

If you fall into either (or both) of these categories, then overnight charging isn't going to cut it, and you'll want to get your battery topped up again as quickly as you can so you can get back on the road. Thankfully, every iPhone released in the past six years supports much faster charging, but the downside is that with very few exceptions, Apple has never supplied you with the right adapter to get the best possible charging speeds from your iPhone.

It’s peak summer right now, though fall is just around the corner with back-to-school season on the horizon. With that also comes Apple’s annual iPhone event.

This year, we are definitely expecting the iPhone 15 lineup, as well as Apple Watch Series 9, and maybe a new Apple Watch Ultra. The rumors for the iPhone 15 series have been going strong for months, though there has also been a lot of back-and-forth too, mostly relating to the iPhone 15 Pro models.

Hoping to get your hands on an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max when the new phones come out in the fall? Well, you may be in for a wait.
