If you've read our reviews, you know these are two very good products. Both have brilliant Retina HD displays and powerful A8 processors; both run the brand new iOS 8. There are a handful of key differences, however.

The screen on the iPhone 6 Plus is much bigger. That larger phone outweighs the iPhone 6 by at least 40 grams. It's .2 mm thicker. It also boasts a bit of extra technical prowess: Optical Image Stabilization.
