For the first time in the history of Apple, the tech titan released two variants of the iPhone 6 - the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus.

What's more significant, is that the iPhone 6 Plus is the largest smartphone released by the company so far. In fact, the release of two variants of the iPhone has put some people in a dilemma - whether to go for the relatively smaller iPhone 6 or the phablet-class iPhone 6 Plus.

A comparison between the two may be rather difficult because they share a lot of the same features, but it can help to sway a prospecting consumer one way or another.

Soon after the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus arrived on the shelves of the retail stores, users started commenting on the incredible size of the iPhone 6 Plus. They also talked about how the device felt on the hand.

Although the iPhone 6 Plus is much larger than the iPhone 6, this difference in size actually works to the advantage of the smaller iPhone 6. The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 is not only smaller, but also thinner compared to its bigger brother. Hence, many feel that the smaller iPhone 6 more comfortable to hold.

Moreover, the finish of the iPhone 6 is also better compared to the bigger variant, as it easily slips from the hand owing to its sleek as well as smooth design. Nevertheless, one might find that the iPhone 6 Plus is just as easy to grip and hold.

On the other hand, the iPhone 6 Plus comes with a relatively bigger screen as well as a higher screen resolution. Hence, it would definitely be preferred by customers who prefer that in a smart device display, over something like an easy to hold nature.
