Whatever your opinion may be of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, there's little argument that Apple has made some significant changes (read: improvements) over the preceding models, and alongside the 2010 roll-out of the iPhone 4, the two new handsets must be considered the biggest upgrades to iPhone since the original.
