Upgraded to iPhone 6 Plus from Lumia 1520: An on Going Review

[L_W_Ward]

Today I took the plung and decided to speed to refresh and upgrade to an iPhone 6 Plus (stupid name) in shiney silver. I fondled the 6+ and its younger brother in the Apple store for a good hour before I made my decision but I am 100% confident I made the right choice. BTW i was about to go with Vodafone but they messed up twice and lost me, i'm still with O2.

Inital Views compaired to my beloved Lumia 1520.

Its actually smaller by only a CM all around but it feels much better in my hand. The curved edges and rounded sides make it not only nicer to hold but more natural, it feels like an iPhone should be. To acompany this it actually feels lighter in my hand, really light, but the first thing I did was order an case because I will drop it. The screen is amazing, bright, clear and equally as good as the Lumia. Another great thing I noticed is the Touch ID works first time, EVERYTIME! my girlfriend had so many problems with her 5S so removed it. 

Feel in my hand and pocket in comparion:

In my hand its feels very comfortable and not awkward at all. The Lumia did feel a bit, heavy, clumbsy and awkward at times. In my pocket I constantly forget it is there, seriously. The Lumia has pointed edges soit would stick in my leg from time to time while the 6+ has none of this. 

Have I tried to bend them:

Lumia - NO

6 Plus - NO

Will i try and bend them:

Shut up!

Features I will miss on my Lumia:

Glance screen

Double tap to wake up

Wireless charging. 

At this moment in time I am still getting used to the new features but I will ask @Toby for edit rights and update you on the following points in comparision to the Lumia:

-Battery

-Camera

- extra features

Anything else you want to know? add below and I will try it... NO BENDING!

Nice followup too

I also like the Health app, although at this time I have a limited amount of fitness apps than can use it, but this will grow as time goes on. Like you, I like having all the info into one place, rather than having to load up the individual apps.

My iPhone 6 Plus I find like yourself, even though its a large screen phone, it is still comfortable to hold and I can easily and comfortable fit it into my pocket. The 6 Plus won’t be for everyone, but for a large screened smartphone it is surprising manageable.

Weirdly, I find the 6 Plus feels safer in my hand than the smaller iPhones I’ve owned previously, by this I mean, I feel a lot less likely to drop the 6 Plus as I have more to hold on to, with its larger size (if that makes sense).

Definitely the iPhone Apple should have made a while back. But that’s Apple, not always the first to do something, but they tend to wait and then do it their way at a later date.
