Apple iPhone 6 Plus Review

November 17, 2014 | Amy Davies | Rating star Rating star Rating star Rating star

Introduction

The iPhone 6 Plus joins the iPhone 6 as the latest smartphone from Apple. It features the same camera, but with optical image stabiliser, and a much bigger body and screen than its smaller sibling. Apple has stuck with the same 8 million pixel resolution since the iPhone 4S, and the company’s devices have been the most popular “cameras” in the world for some time now. The iPhone 6 Plus also has the same f/2.2 lens and processor as the iPhone 5S, with the majority of the changes taking place via software. A new introduction is Focus Pixels - which basically means that the camera now has phase detection pixels making it quicker to focus than the 5S - Apple claims that it is twice as quick as its predecessor. Along with that, there’s also improved face detection, and there’s now the ability to change exposure manually.

Ease of Use

For a long time, Apple resisted the temptation to build a large “phablet” style smartphone, but with the iPhone 6 Plus, the company has finally given into the popularity of such large devices. The screen is a whopping 5.5 inches, and features Apple’s Retina Display for ultra crisp viewing.

While this makes it great to look at images, watch movies, or generally use apps, it does have its downsides.  Its large and flat size makes it quite unwieldy in the hand and it takes some time to get used to holding it securely without it feeling like it’s going to drop. If you wanted to hold the phone in a traditional way that you might hold a camera, you’ll probably find that your fingers obscure the lens - again this is something that you soon get used to in practice, but unfortunately makes it fairly difficult to hold ultra securely.

As with all iPhones, the majority of the control takes place via the touch sensitive screen, but there are some important physical buttons which are useful when taking pictures too. On the right hand side of the phone is the power on/off button or lock switch - hold it down to switch the phone on or off, or simply press once to lock or unlock the phone.

From the lock screen you can take a photo by swiping upwards from the bottom right hand corner of the screen. You’ll be able to view pictures that you’ve taken while the phone is locked, but you will need to unlock it properly if you want to view the rest of your photos. Still, it’s a very handy and quick way to fire off a few off the cuff snaps without having to fully activate the phone.

On the right hand side of the phone are volume buttons, but you can also use these to take pictures or video when using the camera - this is handy when you’re holding the phone as you would a traditional camera - you can position the volume buttons as a normal shutter release button on a standard camera.

You can use the iPhone’s camera from within several different apps, such as Instagram, but it is probably the phone’s native camera app that you will use for the majority of shooting situations. There’s not a huge amount you can control, but there have been some improvements over the iPhone 5S with the introduction of iOS8.

In order to set the focus point, you simply tap the area on the screen that you want to focus on. A new feature you’ll now see is that a small sun icon appears, you can swipe this up or down to adjust exposure compensation, which is handy for overly dark or overly bright conditions. By selecting the autofocus point, you’ll also set the metering.

Along the bottom of the screen you’ll see various options which allow you to move between various shooting modes which are available, including photo (standard 4:3 ratio), square (1:1 ratio), panorama, video, slow-mo and time-lapse mode.  On the bottom right of the screen you’ll see three overlapping circles - if you press this you can add various digital filters including Tonal, Mono, Noir, Chrome and Process.

On the top of the screen, there’s the option to switch the flash on, off or leave it on Auto to let the phone decide when is the most appropriate time to fire it off. There’s also the option to switch HDR on, off or again leave it on Auto. Another new introduction is timer mode, which is useful for selfies and group shots - you can set the phone to delay shutter release for three or ten seconds - when he countdown is reached, the phone will fire off a burst of shots to help you get the best one in a group situation. Finally at the top of the screen you’ll see an icon for switching between the rear camera and the front facing camera - useful for photographing selfies.

In order to take a shot, as already mentioned, you can use one of the volume buttons, or if you prefer, you can tap the virtual button within the camera app itself. If you hold down either the physical or virtual button, you’ll activate burst shooting and the camera will continue to fire off shots until you release the button. When you do release, the phone will automatically pick which one it thinks is the best - but you can choose an alternative by pressing “Select” underneath the previewed image.  Once you’ve chosen the best shot, you can elect to keep only that image and delete everything else, or keep all of the shots.

Once you’ve taken a picture, the phone gives you a few editing options from within the app itself. For instance, you can add any of the digital filters that were available pre-shooting at this stage too. You can also adjust brightness, saturation, and black and white styles. You can also crop and rotate an image. Handily, at any stage, you can revert back to the original image even after you’ve carried out several edits. It’s also possible to favourite images by tapping a small heart icon underneath the preview - these will be stored in a separate folder in your Images app, allowing you to quickly view all of your favourite shots without having to navigate past all your other photos.

As part of the iOS operating system, there’s a huge range of different apps which you can use to take and edit photos. Some good popular options include Instagram and Photoshop Express, but there are literally hundreds to experiment with.

Image Quality

All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 8 megapixel JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 2.5Mb.

Independent experts DxO Labs recently proclaimed the iPhone 6 (and 6 Plus) to have the best cameras of any smartphones ever made, so it’s with pretty high hopes that we enter into this test.

Thankfully, the iPhone 6 Plus can really deliver. Images are beautifully bright and vivid, with bags of detail - especially so if you view them at normal phone or tablet sizes. If you examine at 100%, it’s possible to see some image smoothing, but it’s certainly comparable with standalone compact cameras, and the overall effect is better than some of the cheapest cameras currently on the market.

Low light is often where a camera phone will fall down, but the iPhone 6 Plus copes pretty well, although it is a shame not to be able to choose sensitivity settings yourself, at the higher end of the scale image quality is still maintained with lots of detail - again especially if you’re looking at images at normal web sizes. It also copes well with artificial light to produce accurate colours, perhaps erring ever so slightly towards yellow or orange tones under very strong artificial lights.

In most conditions, the metering system copes well to produce well-balanced exposures. Changing the autofocus mode also changes the metering point, and this works well when you’re photographing something with high contrast and want the exposure to be based upon the subject.

A range of fun digital filters make it a great camera to use if you want a little creativity, and of course there’s also the option to expand the functionality of the camera via the different apps which are available.

Panoramic images can be achieved via the native camera app and these are both easy to create and fun to look at. There don’t appear to be any join lines or jagged edges, and once again if you’re viewing at a normal print size or on a computer, they’re very impressive.

There’s no optical zoom available with the iPhone camera, but there is a digital zoom available. In good light, this is passable, and if you really need to get close to a subject it’s handy to have - but generally speaking it’s better to shoot and crop afterwards if you need to frame a particular subject.

Focal Range

The Apple iPhone 6 Plus's lens provides a focal range of 29mm in 35mm terms, as demonstrated below.

Sharpening

Here are two 100% crops which have been Saved as Web - Quality 50 in Photoshop. The right-hand image has had some sharpening applied in Photoshop. The out-of-the camera images are a little soft at the default sharpening setting and benefit from some further sharpening in a program like Adobe Photoshop.

Chromatic Aberrations

The Apple iPhone 6 Plus handled chromatic aberrations quite well during the review, with some purple fringing mainly present around the edges of objects in high-contrast situations, as shown in the examples below.

Macro

The Apple iPhone 6 Plus offers a Macro setting that allows you to focus on a subject that is 5cms away from the camera.

Night

The Apple iPhone 6 Plus's maximum shutter speed is 1/2 second, which isn't great news if you're seriously interested in night photography. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 1/15th second at ISO 100.

Panorama

The Apple iPhone 6 Plus allows you to take panoramic images very easily, by 'sweeping' with the camera while keeping the shutter release depressed. The camera automatically does all the processing and stitching.

Conclusion

While mobile phone manufacturers continue to make such excellent cameras, it’s easy to understand why compact camera manufacturers are worried.

Here in the iPhone 6 Plus, you have something which is capable of capturing fantastic images, especially so in good light, but also coping pretty well as the light fades too. In terms of image quality, it’s difficult to fault, and it seems likely that Apple will continue to hold onto its claim of most popular camera for some time.

However, there are downsides to using such a large device. For starters, it’s not the most comfortable in the hand, and if you want to use it in a similar fashion to a normal cameras, it’s very easy to accidentally obscure the lens. The large size also has the knock on effect of making it harder to keep perfectly still - which probably explains why the iPhone 6 Plus features optical image stabilisation when the iPhone 6 does not.

On the plus side, when you’re viewing an image back, the large screen really makes pictures pop and you can zoom in to see fine detail very quickly and easily.

Apple has made a number of new introductions with iOS8, which make it quicker and easier to use the phone in a lot of different ways - for instance the new search function for your images allows you to sort by location - but this is not something which is unique to the iPhone 6, as earlier models can upgrade to the latest operating system for free.

One of the biggest problems that previous iPhones had was with battery life - something which can be particularly problematic if you’re using the camera a lot. Apple has improved battery life significantly for the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, and you should now expect the phone to last the whole day unless you really are constantly taking photos.

There is plenty of competition for the likes of the iPhone 6 Plus, but if camera image quality is your main concern for your smartphone, and you’re enticed by the prospect of a super large screen, this is a great choice.
