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

By Malarie Gokey Published 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.

But for some people, 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 in action. 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.

Apple’s iPhone 16 has arrived, and it’s quite an impressive offering this year. Not only does it come in some of the best colors we’ve seen in a while, but it closes the gap between the base and Pro models even more.

That's all to say the iPhone 16 is a fantastic phone, but if you’re thinking about buying it as your next smartphone purchase, you should also consider some of these alternatives.

If you want an iPhone, there are multiple models to choose from, with smaller options and bigger models alike. We’ve already covered the differences between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, but if you want the bigger iPhone screen, should you go with the iPhone 16 Plus or the iPhone 16 Pro Max?

Both feature the latest generation of processors and offer similar camera experiences, albeit with a few key differences in both areas. Both also feature the same Action Button and Camera Control features.
