Display

At 750p, the display leaves no room for complaint. The auto brightness is very good and sunlight visibility is perfect.

Back

The metallic back has become a trademark of the iPhone. This one has it too, but the back makes it very slippery, thanks to the big size.

Power Button

Apple moved the power button to the right side in order to accomodate for the bigger size. A first for the iPhone.

Slim design

At 6.1 mm, this is the thinnest iPhone till date. But the rounded edges, coupled with the slim design makes this phone very slippery and hard to grip. It's very prone to falling out of your hand.

Camera

The 8 MP iSight camera on the iPhone 6 is better than the 5S and arguably the best smartphone camera right now.
