group of smartphone models produced by Apple Inc.

The iPhone 6 broke with Apple’s traditionally small displays to keep the iPhone competitive with the larger Android smartphones that dominated the market and were cutting into iPhone sales. The iPhone 6 moved to a 4.7″ display from the 4.0″ of the iPhone 5 family, while the 6 Plus was a substantial 5.5″.

The iPhone 6 is bigger and heavier than the iPhone 5S , although it is a bit thinner at 0.27″. Screen resolution is 1334 x 750 pixels. The iPhone 6 screen is curved at its edges, and its back is made of aluminum. Finishes include gold, silver, and space gray.

The larger size provides room for a bigger battery, and the iPhone 6 specs claim about 20% more time for phone calls, online access, listening to music, streaming video, or whatever else you may do. Apple moved the power button from the top of the iPhone to the side, claiming it improved accessibility.
