iPhone 6 Plus Wallpapers

 iPhone 6 Plus is larger than its predecessors, and even its 4.7 inch iPhone 6 counterpart, the design has been conceived as subtle evolution of the sleek, minimalist hardware concept Apple's been tweaking for years: Aluminum melded with glass into a shockingly thin profile.

Whereas the iPhone 5/5S opted for a a flat sides, the iPhone 6 Plus has a more rounded design, with the pill-shaped volume buttons introduced on the iPad Air last year. Both versions of the iPhone 6 carry over the 5S' most important new design feature in the Touch ID finger print scanner on the home button.

The phone has a 1920 x 1080 display (401 pixels per inch), which has way more pixels than the 1136 x 640 iPhone 5S. With the new large phone Apple is taking advantage of the the space in apps, with new split-screen modes in both apps and on the home screen. The home screen view in particular is striking because we're so used to the intractable vertical line up of app icons.

Despite rumors Apple would be making good on its huge investments in sapphire glass that would be potentially less susceptible to cracks, all we're hearing is "ion-strengthened" right now on the iPhone 6 displays. The glass curves around the edge to the back handsomely, but we'll have to wait to if it's still fragile hunk of beautiful design or truly more resilient.

The 7.1mm thick iPhone 6 Plus is super slender—even skinnier than the 7.6 mm iPhone 5/5S, despite its much larger screen. This could go a long way to ameliorating some of the pains that come with bigger phones by making it easier to hold and easier to stuff in your pocket.

The iPhone 6 Plus sports Apple's new 64-bit A8 chip, an evolution of last year's pack-leading A7. It's 13 percent smaller than the A7, while being up to 25 percent faster CPU and with 50 percent faster graphics, according to Apple. The phone also caries the newest version of Apple's Motion Processor, the M8, which adds a barometer.

The iPhone 6 Plus is getting a brand new 8 megapixel camera which now has phase-detect autofocus, a feature that's only recently come to digital cameras without mirrors. We should note, though, that the Samsung Galaxy S5 has this feature as well, and some manufacturers have been able to get blazing fast focus using only older contrast detection. So don't let that jargon fool you. The new AF mode should help focus considerably faster, especially in low-light situations.

The iPhone 6 will come in 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB versions available for $300, $400, and $500. Pre-orders begin September 12th. The phone ships September 19th.
