Apple yesterday launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, in which the latter is a large sized iPhone- which has a 5.5 inches display. As we now know that Apple has also started thinking ‘bigger is better’, we can compare the specs of iPhone 6 Plus with the rival phablets (which operate on the different platform though), the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which was released only some days ago in IFA Berlin event, and the LG G3, which is out in the market already for some months.

With the increase in the size of the iPhone 6, though it is of different OS platform, the competition in the smartphone is likely to be fierce. Or it may even be the case that the Apple fanboys won’t like the bigger size of the iPhone 6. We can clearly see that the iPhone 6 is priced way higher than the Galaxy Note 4 or LG G3. We’ll see how many Android users now switch to Apple, or vice-versa.
