iPhone 6 Plus

iPhone 6 Plus one of Apple's biggest rethinks of the iPhone product line since the category was introduced by Steve Jobs in 2007. It was an entirely new Plus model that provided users with a substantially larger display, along with redesigned curved edges.

iPhone 6 Plus was part of the 2014 generation of iPhones, which included the smaller iPhone 6, and was the best-selling iPhone series of all time with 222+ million units sold (as of June 2017).

Despite its popularity, the device was subject to the 'Bendgate' controversies in 2014, when many users reported the device bending when in a tight trouser pocket.

Apple denied this was a widespread problem, and said that they had only received nine complaints about this issue.

iPhone 6 Plus and its smaller counterpart also debuted Apple Pay, allowing users to pay at checkout with their phone, rather than using a traditional bank card.

The largest iPhone ever made at the time, some people ridiculed the device for its large, unreachable display and believed smaller iPhone models would sell better. Ultimately, the direction since has been larger displays, with the iPhone 6 Plus screen small compared to today's standards.

As it was a bigger iPhone, it benefitted from a larger battery which provided up to a full day of talk time when on 3G connectivity.
