iphone 6 plus compared   This looks like it is going to be a really great new phone. There is a lot of comparison in the iPhone / Smartphone space. What do you think of the features? Will they be better than the Samsung Smartphones? Sounds like a lot more computing power will lead to better features on the phone including in the camera and with tracking of where you are at all times. The fact that the battery life is better is probably due to the iPhone 6 Plus just being a larger phone to put a battery in and that in itself is a really great feature for many of us big phone users
