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

By Malarie Gokey September 18, 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.

Apple releases multiple iPhones every year, offering folks choice in terms of size and features. In 2024, the iPhone 15 lineup includes four distinct models.

The regular iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are great for those who don’t need a telephoto lens and don’t care about the Action button or the 1TB of storage. But anyone who wants a more “pro” experience has the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

iPhone SE 4: news, rumored price, release date, and more

The Apple iPhone SE (2022) and Apple iPhone SE (2020) together.

While the spotlight always seems to be on Apple’s mainline iPhones, the iPhone SE is a great pick for those who are on a budget. If you want an iPhone that doesn't break the bank, the SE is the way to go.

The original iPhone SE came out in 2016, and then Apple revamped it in 2020 and 2022 by giving it some more modern hardware. The iPhone SE tends to get updated every two or so years rather than annually like the traditional iPhone. This means that we should see a new iPhone SE 4 this year, but it’s not so cut-and-dried with this particular model.

3 reasons why I’ll actually use Anker’s new iPhone power bank

A person holding the Anker MagGo Power Bank.

Power banks are a necessary evil, and even if you don’t consider yourself a “power user” who's likely to drain a phone’s battery in less than a day, there will be times when one comes in handy. And when I am forced to carry one, I want it to be as helpful and versatile as possible.

I’ve been trying Anker’s MagGo Power Bank 10K -- meaning it has a 10,000mAh cell inside it -- and there are three reasons why I'm OK with it taking up valuable space in my bag.
