    Engadget Review

    The iPhone 6 Plus is difficult to use one-handed, not to mention more uncomfortable than similar-sized phones. In exchange, though, you get more of an iPad-like user experience on a much smaller device. It also has better battery life than the smaller iPhone 6, as well as a better camera. Keep that in mind as you're deciding between the two devices.

    Apple's year of cheap battery upgrades resulted in 11 million repairs

    The spike led in part to Apple lowering its quarterly earnings guidance.
