What is the difference between Iphone 6s and 6 Plus
In 2014, Apple abandoned the practice of releasing one smartphone and introduced two iPhone 6 models from the iPhone 6 plus. A year later, improved versions of these smartphones with the prefix “s” appeared. These are iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus. In this article we will look at these models and talk about how the iPhone 6s differs from the iPhone 6s plus and what advantages each of these models provides.
Screen
If you compare the difference between iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus, the first thing that catches your eye is the screen. iPhone 6s plus received a larger screen with a diagonal of 5.5 inches, compared to 4.7 inches for the iPhone 6s. The screen resolution has also changed. IPhone 6s plus received a resolution of 1920 × 1080 (with a pixel density of 401 dpi), and iPhone 6s received a resolution of 1334 × 750 pixels (pixel density of 326 dpi).
There are still slight differences in the declared screen contrast. So the screen contrast for the regular version of the iPhone 6s was 1400: 1, and the screen contrast for the enlarged model iPhone 6s plus was 1300: 1. The rest of the screens are the same. They have the same brightness, full sRGB support, the same Taptic Engine tactile response mechanism and everything else.
Dimensions and weight
The second noticeable difference between the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus is their size and weight. Due to the larger screen, the iPhone 6s plus received more impressive dimensions and more weight.
The dimensions of the iPhone 6s plus are 77.9 × 158.2 × 7.3 mm compared to 67.1 × 138.3 × 7.1 mm for the iPhone 6s. And the weight of the iPhone 6s plus is 192 grams versus 143 grams for the iPhone 6s.
Camera
Both smartphones received Apple’s proprietary camera called iSight. At the same time, the characteristics of this camera are almost the same for both models. This is a 12 megapixel sensor with a pixel size of 1.22µm, ƒ / 2.2 aperture and True Tone flash. The only difference between the cameras of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus is optical stabilization.
Model iPhone 6s plus received optical image stabilization, which allows you to shoot clearer shots on the go or in low light conditions. The front camera, also known as the FaceTime camera, is the same on both of these smartphones.
Battery
The last differences between the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus smartphones relate to the battery. Smartphone iPhone 6s plus received a more capacious battery, which provides up to 24 hours of talk time and 80 hours of listening to music.
While the iPhone 6s battery in the same operating modes can provide only 14 and 50 hours of battery life.
Other characteristics
The rest of the iPhone 6s is no different from the iPhone 6s plus, so there’s no point in analyzing the remaining features in detail. Instead, we compiled a pivot table (the differences are highlighted in red).
