iPhone

In the weeks and months leading up to the launch of what became the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, all manner of suggestions were made with regards to the rear-facing camera. Apple always makes noticeable enhancements in this particular department, and while some initially bemoaned the fact that it was yet another 8-megapixel offering, the introduction of features like Focus Pixels and optical image stabilization have seen it garner rave reviews. Now, a highly-reputed rankings system, which scrutinizes the performance of every single smartphone snapper released to market, has delivered its critical analysis of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus's cameras, and declared that the Cupertino's latest duo "set[s] the gold standard for smartphone image quality."

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are without a doubt Apple’s greatest smartphones to date, and with a thin profile of just 6.9 and 7.1mm, respectively, bringing these devices to life wasn’t a walk in the park. And Apple’s design and engineering team had to make use of very limited space to squeeze everything into one place, but that came with a trade-off, apparently, that might leave iPhone 6 Plus users thoroughly disgruntled.

The iPhone 6 Plus, the larger of Apple's two new handsets, is the ideal choice for folks who've long since been attracted to devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note but prefer iOS, and among the 10 million iPhones sold over the launch weekend, a sizeable portion would have been made specifically by those picking up the Cupertino's first phablet. But while most of those who went out and made the purchase are reporting positively of their latest acquisition, some have inadvertently managed to bend their device out of shape merely by leaving it in a pocket when performing an activity.
