Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The large screen was the standout feature for most switchers. Commenters repeatedly cited the 5.5in display as the reason they chose the 6 Plus, with some saying it could replace their iPad for gaming and video. Users coming from smaller iPhones or slower Android phones found the size and smoothness impressive, and several said the screen size was 'the point I've been waiting for' after using large-screen Android phones previously.

The camera earned consistent praise for image quality and usability. Multiple commenters said the photos looked better than expected compared to older iPhones and even called them 'much better' with more detail than other camera test videos they'd seen. One user years later still preferred its color reproduction over a newer iPhone. Manual camera apps made shooting enjoyable, though one commenter noted video stabilization only applies to photos, not video, per Apple's spec sheet.

Build and software criticisms centered on wasted screen potential and durability worries. Several commenters felt iOS didn't take advantage of the large screen the way Android's multitasking did, calling it 'unproductive' and 'a waste of screen size.' Others criticized the visible plastic antenna bands, protruding camera, and slippery rounded back that's hard to hold without a case. Bendgate jokes about the chassis bending in pockets and reports of screen defects with denied warranty support added to durability concerns.
