Apple iPhone 6 Plus — The iPhone That Started the Big Screen Era

The Apple iPhone 6 Plus was announced on September 9, 2014 and released on September 19, 2014, making history as the very first plus-sized iPhone Apple ever produced. Pre-orders exceeded four million units within the first 24 hours — an Apple record at the time — proving just how much demand there was for a larger iPhone.

The iPhone 6 Plus features a 5.5-inch LCD Retina Display with a Full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, delivering sharp and vibrant visuals that were a significant step up from previous iPhones. One exclusive feature of the Plus model was a landscape mode, allowing you to use the phone sideways for a more tablet-like experience in apps and the home screen.

Under the hood, the iPhone 6 Plus is powered by the Apple A8 chipset with 1GB of RAM, an 8MP primary rear camera, and a 1.2MP front camera, backed by a 2915mAh battery. The 8MP rear camera also included optical image stabilization — a first for any iPhone at the time — producing noticeably sharper photos and steadier video in low light and while moving.

Storage options ranged from 16GB all the way up to 128GB, and the device launched running iOS 8, with support for updates up to iOS 12.5.7. Available in Silver, Gold, and Space Gray, the iPhone 6 Plus originally started at $299 on contract, cementing its place as one of the most iconic iPhones Apple has ever released.
