Review of the 6 Plus phablet

You may recall that a few weeks ago my iPhone 5 died and I had to go back to my 4s which was a nightmare.  The screen was small and I lost half the screen due to the keyboard.  My iPhone 5 couldn't be brought back to life and sadly it died.  Fortunately I still had my 4s which I hadn't thrown out but was very close to chucking.  I was going to try to hold off on upgrading but couldn't so I ordered the iPhone 6 Plus and it arrived today from New Zealand.  

You've probably read countless articles about the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.  The reviews are mostly negative and given I now have it in my hands I can comment on it.  Before I rave about how great it is I now wonder if the bad reviews were designed so that customers would be even happier with the phone than if there had only been good reviews.

Given I'd switched back to my 4s the larger screen on the 6 Plus is an absolute joy to use.  It's so easy to blog and it's truly like having a pocket computer.

New features include a dictionary with predictive text and emoticons.  That's a dream.  No more 'ducking' replacing a swear word.

The phone is so light compared to previous models and if you have a case it will still fit in your pocket.  I briefly went up to the post office earlier and kept my phone in my skirt pocket and it has not bent.

The screen resolution is much better and websites are more pleasant to use because you can see more and therefore it's actually more useful.

The only thing I don't like about it is I now have to use both hands when I'm blogging or texting etc.

I imagine this will replace my lap top in due course (or be my main device) and that's why I went with the 6 Plus. It's a multi functional device, more so than previous Apple iPhones.

9/10 for this dream phone.
