Very balanced review. Now wait for the Verge's review "This is the best phone, buy this phone, don't buy any other phone, buy this phone, it has no problems, it's perfect, nothing about it could be better, Apple has made the perfect phone, buy this phone - here is the competition, they work really well have loads more features and they cost a lot less, but you shouldn't buy them, you should buy this phone - did I say you should buy this phone already? Because you should buy this phone... just buy this phone"
mrquicky A review that focuses on the wrong thing has benchmark results. With the exception of battery life, benchmarks are almost meaningless vs real life usability.
jaypob real life usability is meaningless when you don't actually own the device. Anyone can claim fantastic real-world performance. Windows mobile users do it all the time. Benchmarks help consumers make informed decisions about how the device measures up to against other devices on the market. Numbers don't lie.
mrquicky We'll just have to agree to disagree. Real life is far from meaningless as it tells the consumer what to expect. Numbers have variability, and "don't lie" doesn't mean the same thing as "have meaning." You have what's more important to you, I have what's more import to me. Different strokes for different folks.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, but based on yours... If Michael and Taylor were mobile operating systems, and Michael were iOS and Taylor was Android... Are you saying that iOS is better than Android?
Peter Bailey Comments are like stains, but based on yours, it's a shit stain on the underwear of life. Apparently logical jumps and fallacies are praised nowadays because your comment is probably the dumbest I've read throughout my day on the internet. To address what you have said - which makes no sense at all - I am not saying iOS is better than Android and I left no evidence whatsoever in my original comment; I do think that iOS is superior in some cases, but that point was in no way conveyed in my comment. "Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one," LOL I wonder where the hell you picked that up from, but I'd advise you to find something more catchy or at least funny. Good luck, message me if you need help! And if you reply saying that the comment was a joke, still message me because you need help buddy.
Assholes, shit stains, i see what you did there...kudos but honestly I'm actually impressed that you not only took the time from to come down from cloud nine to share you thoughts and opinions but you gave me what looks like two whole paragraphs? of which ultimately means nothing to me. Insults in the form of tasteless jokes coming from a ghost. Why so serious?
Lol "why so serious" coming from the guy that originally took the time out to write his own comment with his "supposed' cleverness. Making these comments for me literally take 20-30 seconds because it's very easy for me to point out stupidity. So yes, you should be impressed; my offer sill stands as well, although I know you wouldn't accept it. Go back to Twitter and follow some accounts that post up clever comments - preferably comments more clever than the one you used before - and pick up something new to start off your new comments with and hopefully be funnier. "Assholes, shit stains, i see what you did there...kudos..." Thanks man! You commended me for my CLEVERNESS. GG. Good luck on improving.
It's supposed to be 172g, but there was a typo in my script and I didn't catch it during editing. Thanks for catching. I'll drop an annotation to avoid further confusion. ^TM
Also, optical image stabilization will not help you much, if at all, when talking pictures of people or anything that moves. The only thing that will help you in low-light situations, are a faster shutter speed and better high iso performance.
Very good video and review! Something that is very annoying is that when the iPhone is in landscape mode - in the message app - and you want to attach a picture from the Photo Library it opens the photo-app in portrait mode! Even iPhone 6 Plus! This is very frustrating and means that you still have to turn the iPhone to portrait mode to select the picture to attach. Furthermore, you can not select multiple images at once. The strange thing is that the photo app itself is rotating to landscape mode - but why not when to attach pictures to messages?
While I agree that most phones bend with amount of force demonstrated, some did not. And what really has me worried is putting it in my pocket, which is something I've never worried about before. I know, as MKBHD said, there isn't magnesium in the chassis so it isn't as rigid as most other phones.
Isn't there hidden code in ios 8 that allows split screen multitasking? Could this be why they left the box blank? Should I be worried about bendgate if i put it in a case?
I don't have the iPhone 6 but it seems odd that you say the display is on the warm side... Measurements say 7300K for both 6 and 6+ which would be extremely cold...
Really nitpicky, but the tone of your conclusion made it seem like there was another closing sentence that got cut off at the end. I was surprised when the video suddenly ended.
I just picked the Samsung Galaxy S5 over the LG G3. And to be honest I don't complain about it. The Samsung Galaxy S5 might not be the best phone right now but it fits into my everyday life perfectly. Greetings from Santa Ana, El Salvador.
How does the phone feel when pulling it out for Apple Pay? usually that's one handed, and just by looking at the size of the phone, and feeling my 6, makes me kind of cringe thinking it could be easy to drop the larger phone. How does that actually work out ? I didn't get the 6 plus because of budget, and feeling more comfortable with a smaller phone. For a larger display, I prefer a computer, or television.
Great review man, I think it's too big for me, I've been using small phones like Nokia 5800, samsung s duos, iPhone 4 my entire life, it will be too hard to use the plus. How is one hand usability on the 6? Can u reach the top without reach ability feature?
Great video TM! I like your review better than Michael Fisher's review. He had a terrible title heading for the video... Took it down and disabled comments... Your reviews are much more honest and personal. Only my opinion I like both of you guys, great review nonetheless!
Still got my iPhone 5s great phone love it I really hope they bring a 6s out the same size I'm not to keen on the 6 plus just to big nice phones but I prefer the 4inch display I don't think I would buy a phone that had a display over 5 inches ! 5s best phone I've owned
Almost. The camera shouldn't stick out but it has to, the antenna bands look like shit, the aluminium is light but prone to bending. The glass is exposed on the front.
1:59 "Every phone is susceptible to some degree of bending, under a certain force" I am so happy that my pockets do not have "a certain force" to bend my Oneplus One. (okay that sounds like I have erectile dysfunction) :D
I've sent mine back. The screen is great, speaker is good, the lack of optimised apps however, was a real disappointment. It should have been able to scale down iPad apps instead of up scaling iPhone apps for a four inch screen. They just look terrible at the moment.
Excellent review Taylor, as always. I'm still thinking about which one to buy, it's about the size. I change to Android because the size of the screen, first Samsung s4 (soo bad experience) later to the most beautiful phone ever HTC one. Now I have the Xperia Z2, but is the software what's make me missed the iOS, is so bad the ui in other brands, the only who can get stabilization is HTC.
Pocketnow reviews are the best on the internet
Thanks Taylor
the iphone 6 is just big old iphone
samsung lover... u suck
IM A UNICORN YEEY no you suck Apple lover
IM A UNICORN YEEY actually i love apple and i hate Samsung so much
Abdullah Darwish no you dont
Joel66004 how do you know?
This channel has legit become the BEST review channel around. Another fantastic review, Taylor. Loving my Plus.
Thanks for the kind words! ^TM
Very balanced review.

😁😁😁😁 exactly, the verge is just about apple.
Hahahlool
LMAO true story
I unsubscribed from their channel few days ago when I saw how they talk about Apple. Patethic 😆
Paul Marca So did I😁😁😁
My respect for Pocketnow has magnified 10 fold in the past week. These are some of the best, most balanced reviews I have seen on my feed.
your reviews are truly honest and informative, thanks!
finally a real review, authentic. good for you pocketnow.
A real review has benchmark results.
mrquicky maybe, but what do benchmarks provide? we know that quadcores or even octacores don´t perform better than apples dualcore A-chips.

I'm actually bored now...
72 g iPhone 6? Did you take the battery out and then scale it???
It's supposed to be 172g, but there was a typo in my script and I didn't catch it during editing. Thanks for catching. I'll drop an annotation to avoid further confusion. ^TM
Pocketnow WOAH THEY REPLIED. I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT. HI.
Mom get the camera!
lilmario0 oh baby a triple!
XD
Love your honest comments about Apple being unable to take advantage of the Plus's bigger screen real estate
I'm not gonna lie, I was actually very impressed Applenow. This was surprisingly a great non biased review.
iPhone 6 Plus owner here, review was on point. I really like this phone a lot, been using iPhones since day one and this by far is the best one imo.
When will the iPhone 6s plus come out? in the beginning of 2015 or the end?
Much more slick mentioning of the Squarespace sponsorship.
What's that speedy game he's playing??
Month later, hey guys I'm gonna do review and overlook on the iPhone 6
Where is Michael fisher?
He reviewed the 6.
Where can I get the wallpaper??
The iphone 6 plus 64 gb price in malaysia is like 1527 usd...
*Can anyone tell me the name of the game at **_5:50_**? Thanks*
At 5:37, I applaud that you have a 1/18 scale Kyosho Audi R8 model.
Woah! Piedmont Triad?! I'm in Winston. That literally blew my mind.
Not sure if my green hoodie is in this video or not. It's a Winston-Salem hoodie I bought to represent! Just moved back a few months ago. ^TM
What's that game at 8:20 the one with some rocks and stones???
I also wanna know !!
Alone. ^TM
quite a nice, honest, and critical review. thumbs up!
Review the vibration of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus?
What were the two games that were displayed in the video? The ping pong game and the other one where you were flying in the air? Does anyone know?
what type of case did you have on the phone and do you like it?
Also, optical image stabilization will not help you much, if at all, when talking pictures of people or anything that moves. The only thing that will help you in low-light situations, are a faster shutter speed and better high iso performance.

Can anyone tell me whats the exact name and maker of that Table tennis game pretty please. Thank you, ipad air user here...
Table Tennis Touch ^TM
Thanks... And done dloading... game time
It would be helpful if the reviewer informed what exactly could be done (that Apple didn't as he says) with software to really 'use' the big display.
Great review. Are you going to keep the iPhone 6 Plus as your main device?
Pocketnow has 15 videos regarding the Iphone 6. Don't you think its enough?
I've been using a phablet for over two years now, and I'm so glad to see Apple on board. I'm in the minority, I like iOS and Android
I don't have the iPhone 6 but it seems odd that you say the display is on the warm side... Measurements say 7300K for both 6 and 6+ which would be extremely cold...
What case is that? Looks nice
Hi, i have a LG G2 and im thinkin on get the iPhone 6 Plus, do you think its going to be easy to adapt myself to the size? Thanks.
What is the name of that table tennis game you're playing?
Really nitpicky, but the tone of your conclusion made it seem like there was another closing sentence that got cut off at the end. I was surprised when the video suddenly ended.
What was that game that was playing during the review? The one that looks like its in space and its dodgeing all the meteorites or something?
I heard that the GPU in the A8 is a hexa-core one , is that true ?
Fair and unbiased review as usual....
What was the game you played with that space shuttle little thingie and please link those gorgeous wallpapers .
Thnxx for the gr8 review
I just picked the Samsung Galaxy S5 over the LG G3. And to be honest I don't complain about it. The Samsung Galaxy S5 might not be the best phone right now but it fits into my everyday life perfectly.
Greetings from Santa Ana, El Salvador.
What case did you use at the beginning of the video?
Nice Rubik's cube, what's your best time?
Those are mine...I'm not very fast at all - best time is just under a minute.
How does the phone feel when pulling it out for Apple Pay? usually that's one handed, and just by looking at the size of the phone, and feeling my 6, makes me kind of cringe thinking it could be easy to drop the larger phone.

Great review man, I think it's too big for me, I've been using small phones like Nokia 5800, samsung s duos, iPhone 4 my entire life, it will be too hard to use the plus. How is one hand usability on the 6? Can u reach the top without reach ability feature?
Which game were you playing near the end?
Finally a review with no Apple bias
Great video TM! I like your review better than Michael Fisher's review. He had a terrible title heading for the video... Took it down and disabled comments... Your reviews are much more honest and personal. Only my opinion I like both of you guys, great review nonetheless!
That title, I couldn't have said it better myself
Very honest very on point with this review thank you,you spoke your mind .
I'm new to your videos, and guess what, Im loving it. Heres a question, Is the iPhone 6 plus too big with a case?
What game were they playing towards the end?
Still got my iPhone 5s great phone love it I really hope they bring a 6s out the same size I'm not to keen on the 6 plus just to big nice phones but I prefer the 4inch display I don't think I would buy a phone that had a display over 5 inches ! 5s best phone I've owned
Watching this on my galaxy note 3... And I am sitting on it... No bends at all
Great detailed review.
What is the shoot em up showcased in the video.
Iphone 6 has the perfect design
Jan Smit ben je hier ook? Haha
No. It doesn't. There is no "perfect" or "best" designs. It's all personal preference.
A perfect design wouldn't be bendable.
***** Shots fired, but seriously the antenna placement looks dreadful.
Almost. The camera shouldn't stick out but it has to, the antenna bands look like shit, the aluminium is light but prone to bending. The glass is exposed on the front.
what game are you playing at the end, the end of video ?
what is the name of the game u were playing last in this video?
IMO Taylor Martin is great at reviews and not so much with unboxings. Great review in a compact 9min vid.
I don't have a phablet Android device so can someone please enlighten me on what Android allows you to do at that size that iOS8 doesn't?
What was that game you were playing at the end?
Does anyone know the name of that table tennis game you see him play a couple of times in the vid?
I'm amazed on his inability to see skipped frames specially in asphalt 8 and that ping pong game
Where can I get the wallpaper at 0:54 ?
Which game is the one with the ping pong??
where can i find this wallpaper?
What is this "Google Voice" app?
Which table tennis app is that?
i really like the wallpaper..link please
Pocketnow what the name of the second game?
what was that game with the weird rocket thing? someone please tell me
Great job man
I did a great decision on picking note 4 today than iphone sux plus... Note 4 is an awesome device worth the money ive spent
1:59 "Every phone is susceptible to some degree of bending, under a certain force"
I am so happy that my pockets do not have "a certain force" to bend my Oneplus One.
(okay that sounds like I have erectile dysfunction) :D
Still need to know the name of the game, had a search with no luck 😪
What's that tool kit widget in the notification center called
Whig own is louder speaker the HTC one m8 it the iPhone 6?
Great review.
What game is he playing at the end of the video?
What is the game you are playing in the review. I want it bad. Looks fun! It is iOS only?
Asphalt 8, available from Gameloft on both Android and osisoios
Sorry not that game but the line game.
let me know here if someone did find the name of that line game
It's called ALONE - you're welcome ;-)
What game was that on the end of the video?
*_Finally_** an honest review thusly why this video has a great "like ratio"*
What's your wallpaper called
Which is that game??? 8:18
Still waiting for my 128GB to arrive. It says Oct 20-27 delivery. Anybody else in the same boat?
My phones ETA is in the middle of Dec. sucks!
What flip case was that?
I've sent mine back. The screen is great, speaker is good, the lack of optimised apps however, was a real disappointment.
It should have been able to scale down iPad apps instead of up scaling iPhone apps for a four inch screen. They just look terrible at the moment.
Which game are you playing on the phone?
7:42 what's OIS? lol
I love that you love Between the Buried and Me. I LOVE IT.
Excellent review Taylor, as always.
I'm still thinking about which one to buy, it's about the size.
I change to Android because the size of the screen, first Samsung s4 (soo bad experience) later to the most beautiful phone ever HTC one. Now I have the Xperia Z2, but is the software what's make me missed the iOS, is so bad the ui in other brands, the only who can get stabilization is HTC.
Guys, could anyone give me the name of the game in the ending ?
haha you're really digging BTBAM lately! did you pick up the future sequence blu ray today? its so damn good
I've been jamming out to BTBAM since high school. Favorite band of all time. ^TM
same here. one of the only bands where i can listen to their albums from start to finish on a weekly basis without getting sick of them
What was the second game at the end
8:17 anyone know the name of that game?
