Apple iPhone 6 Plus (2014)
125 reviews
Once my phone was charged and we uploaded all the information from the previous phone, I found it was not smsing properly, as in the text was not coming up when I was typing it in. The phone was also not sending text promptly and it also doesn't allow me to delete messages when I want to. My son told me it has not updated properly after 24 hours,… Read more
so how long is this going to take now?? It also has repeated messages which have been sent hours ago, ie showing I have 9 texts when it isn't showing that when you open it.
I am very disappointed in this purchase, I really thought the phone will work for me for at least a couple of years before I can afford to buy a new phone or an upgrade.
phone only went up to iOS 9 :( – This was my first apple device and it was to replace my old samsung S3 Neo. I could switch to another apple device. But this wasn't good enough. So I bought a new iphone 7 Plus. It was slow, apps didn't work, some like: Music, Maps, iTunes Store, Photos, Settings (Only Problem with updating), Phone, Messages (Only sending attachments don't work),… Read more
Stocks, Voice Memos, Touch ID, YouTube and Calculator. I am sorry for this negative review, but is was good enough for then.
Last 2 update corrupted iPhone – Most of the time will not accept biometric input or pass code. Difficulty unlocking. Never dropped. Cannot answer calls when locked. Phone now useless. Will never buy another Apple product. Show details

Apple is getting worse .... Please buy at your own risk – We all know how great Apple is... They dominate the market when it comes to smart phones , just to clarify am not an android fan...I have been using Apple since Steve jobs introduced iPhone , but Apple is putting his legacy to shame the way they have been dealing with conumers these days, firstly they know the power they possess and use it very… Read more
well to control their customers,I was upgraded from iPhone 5 to 5s due to product safety issues with my phone which I guess was A fair deal, I chose to upgrade to iPhone 6s Plus hoping it was the better product as stated in apples website,when I did that I was not aware I was signing up for a nightmare, apples delivery system is worse I have ever experienced , due to poor communication I had to manually pick up product from the post warehouse , after all this they send me a phone whose mic was faulty (confirmed by Apple ), I spend like $50 on my screen protector that was seprate expense they did not compensate, they provided me a new phone again to find out the camera took blurry pictures , when discussing with the technician they asked me to prove it in the store ... I told them that this was a random event every now and then so can't be proved , so they offered me to replace the camera , now all this happened within 14 days where Apple claims to refund if the customer is not satisfied , they straight out said that they cannot reafund and encouraged me to take whatever steps I need to take , I have already lodged a legal complaint against Apple , I am here posting this review to let you guys know that even though Apple claims to be best there is dark side to this giant , they know consumers have limited power and they can get away with any sort problems at lower level, their polices are made to make pure profits , they are keen to make new customers but don't care if they stay cause they know they have enough, so just consider before buying weather if you want to be treated like a piece of garbage after your purchase ?
Almost perfect - it really deserves a 4.5 – So, I've had my iPhone6+ for almost a year now. I made the switch from an Android phone after reaearching. I basically wanted the best camera/video phone on the market (if someone wanted it for another reason then perhaps it wouldn't win - such as screen resolution) and after researching thoroughly the 6+ won. The other close contender was the… Read more
Note 5 (or 4 - I forget).
Now, I know all the Apple fanboys and fangirls say iPhone is perfect, it doesn't freeze, have swipe issues etc - but thats not what I've experienced. And for reference, yes I have been updating the software.
The phone (since about 1 month in) often does fail to read my fingerprint .. Probably about 15-20% of the time actually.
Furthermore, the quick camera access feature on the bottom right of the lock screen plays up, rendering me unable to access the camera without unlocking the phone and manually getting into the camera - this does get quite annoying, especially as it often freezes when I want to capture a moment and I miss it when the swipe function freezes or it opens but the camera is frozen on a black screen.
These are my main gripes at the moment, and that I can think of.... Oh also, the iPhone Maps sucks! Today it told me to go 2 blocks away from my required destination... I then used Google maps and it took me to the spot!
In terms of the change from Android to Apple, I haven't experienced much hardship. It's been an easy change for me... I thought there would be issues with Uploading photos and videos to my PC but there's no issue, just copy and paste from My Computer > DCIM into my own Folder on the PC. Perhaps music causes an issue and you have to use iTunes (not sure)
So, it's still a great phone, but there are small gripes I've experienced. Would I buy Apple again? Only after researching again ... And if I decide it's the best for what I need.
Terrific Phone No Problems At All – I purchased my new iPhone 6 Plus about 2 months after they were on the market. I had heard all the rhetoric about how it bends in your pocket, the screen smashes to easily and a lot of people had complained. Determined to buy this phone, as it is larger and I can see all of the letters and numbers a great deal better I made sure to protect myself… Read more
by reading a lot of reviews and as stated above I made sure that would not happen to me. I went into Optus and purchased the following.
One rubber type of backing it is clear in color so I can still see my phone is gold and also a tempered glass cover. Both cost $37 as I haggled a bit with the price it should have been $45 for both, still very cheap to protect my precious new phone.
Like most people accidents happen and yes I dropped my phone and took it into Optus in Surfers Paradise whilst on a short stay and nearly in tears as my screen had cracked. BUT I was wrong. The tempered glass had smashed and not my phone so with a wonderful staff member helping me I purchased another tempered glass front and walked out saving nearly $400+ for a new screen.
Moral of the story pay out a few dollars and invest in the best protection for your phone. My phone has never bent either and if it's not in my handbag it is in my pocket or down my bra.
Positive reviews
It is perfect – This phone has been with me for 4 years right now and I never had problem with it. I dropped it so many times But still working with no issues. iPhone 6s Plus is the best with functionality and durability. Show details
Good phone, small screen but easy to read – The camera on this phone is one of the better ones. I've used Samsung phones in the past and the iphones do have a better camera. The matrix metering seems to be superior and it takes great night shots. Show details
great phone I got it for my son and he loves it – Yes apps Run smoothly, The brightness of the screen is really good and till you hit about 5% battery life & The camera quality is excellent all of his pictures come out really nice Show details
Negative reviews
I'd take a Nokia 5110 any day – I recently got myself an iphone 6s plus to replace my S6 that died. Worst decision ever! Battery life is woeful,pics are god awful,sound is non existent,and call volume? Have Apple ever heard of it before? I can see why they were discontinued. Do yourself a favour and look at other options such as the Oppo or Huawei brands. Cheaper and much better quality. Brand names are not everything. Show details
Faulty – This item was full of faults And the voice and the volume was a problem.The camera was not taking clear photos. I use the iPhone for purching product.The calls are cutting out Show details
Shocking device don't buy – I've had the bad luck of owning this device for 3 years now. The first year was great, absolutely perfect phone (although a super fragile screen) but after that it's been subject to potential slow-down's from apple. Never going to buy an apple product again. it can barely take a photo now. Show details

Iphone 6 plus good and bigger screen phone – Bigger screen on the iphone 6+ for Communication. Camera quality is very good and different at night. I am very satisfied with this phone about display and brightness. The display is very good.I love for use messaging and calling. Apps is smoothy and well. Show details
Big screen easy to use phone – Easy to use Apple phone. Bigger screen on the I phone 6 plus model allows for easy communication, great camera with sharper resolution and ease of use. Its just as good as an I phone 8 except cheaper. The battery does start to deteriorate after a while and continuous charging is needed. Other than that, a phone that we can rely on. The headphone… Read more
plugs are similar to the I phone jack hole and not the usual round holes so only apple iphone headphones are compatible which can be a nuisance at times when we have left it somewhere else.
A long lasting solid phone – I’ve had my iPhone 6s Plus for over 4 years now, having just upgraded to an XS Max 512gb. I love everything about the 6s Plus, hence why I held onto it for so long. It’s been a great phone and never let me down. Even after so long the battery is perfect. It’ll last over a day when used, over a week in standby mode. Apart from 64gb being small… Read more
these days, I’ve always been happy with the camera quality, the speaker sound and general operation of the phone.
As a second hand phone you’ll take risks buying, but I had nothing but a quality experience with mine.
Great phone.
Hoo roo
The best of Apple – This phone is so amazing continues to be my favourite despite the unnecessarily extremely modified and updated new I-Phones released. The camera quality is fabulous and the display is normal. It doesn't normally crash at all and runs smoothly and i would say it is more durable then most other phones as it still works fine despite my clumsy hands constantly dropping it. Show details
Was a great phone, but now very slow – I bought this phone when it was realeased in 2014. It has been a really good phone with very little problem. Now due to software updates it has become very slow and a bit annoying to use. Browsing and map software now takes ages to load, much longer than it should. Battery life is still very good considering the age of the phone. Show details
Served me very well – I got the iPhone 6 plus as my first phone and i chose it mainly because it had a bigger screen compared to the other line of Apple's phones, the phone has gotten considerably slower over time with apps getting more demanding and Apples chip restrictions but otherwise a good phone, also I never had the phone bend which is confusing because allot of… Read more
people had that problem, have had to replace it with an iPhone X due to dropping the phone and cracking it to a point of no repair.
Good phone, starting to die – Bought this phone when it first came out. It was great having the larger screen size and battery. I am a big fan of iOS but am a bit disappointed over the restrictions Apple puts on their NFC chip. Recently, the battery can last more than 4 hours of use and some apps crash. But it WAS a great phone to buy. Show details
Amazing – I have been using this phone for a few years now. and i have not had any problem with it. the battery life has shortened over the years, i have to recharge it more often now. overall, i think it is a great purchase and i will purchase more apple products in future. Show details
Love the phone – After using iPhone 6 Plus for over a year, I must say it has been a great experience. I went back to using Samsung temporarily when my iPhone 6 Plus screen cracked (yes, the one thing I must say I dislike about Apple iPhone products) and I realised I preferred the simplicity and look of iPhone more. iPhone 6 Plus especially is still operating well even with the OS upgrade.

Best phone Apple have ever bought out – Best iPhone tops all the rest nothing can compete with it in the phone business wouldn’t recommend any other phone they have tried to bring out newer models but by far the 6 plus is the best look forward to other people opinions as I’m not going to upgrade ever Show details
Love the phone – Had this phone since 2014 and it is still working great. Never had a problem. Battery life is long as long as games or movie is not played on. This phone looks like it will keep working strong for me another few more years until I need to upgrade. Overall, I found the iphone 6plus very reliable. Show details
Apple does live up to its brand – As a former android user I have to say I've been a lot satisfied since I switched to iPhone. Besides the usual cracked screen I have not had any problems with the iPhone operating system wise. Unlike android phones which seem to lag or die on you when you least expect it. The 6 plus is a nice sleek design & a good sized screen. If you're looking… Read more
for something affordable I'd definitely suggest the 6 plus over the new models, besides a few features you're basically getting the same quality.
BARGAIN – My parents cannot keep up with the new technology. its worthless to pay a fortunate they will never know how to use. simply iphone system is ideal for dummies. I paid a bargain price when the new phone release. I bought 2 of them for both of my parents. they can match up each other and learn how to run the system properly themselves. they… Read more
don't use really complex stuff. a descent phone have functions like taking photos , making photo calls and video calls.
plus has extra wide screen also helps a little bi those senior citizen with vision problem
Better battery life – Haven’t bothered to up date my iphone - why? Battery life is worse as models are renewed. I need long life battery. Newer updates coming out causing crashes in all programs - Apple programs or anything with text function or speak. But it’s been reliable and done and is still doing a good job. Show details
This is nice phone and it great with battery – Bought iphone 6 plus on 24 months contract and i never had any problems with it. I can see it been discontinued and no plans to upgrade to latest iphone. I been using it everyday and very good. i recommended this iphone 6 plus to anyone looking for something. This iphone can update to IOS 11.0. Show details
Great Phone for Average user – iPhone 6 Plus is a great phone for basic tasks but the picture quality is very poor. I bought the phone in 2015 & it is still working. The battery works all day with saver setting on. All features are great except the video & picture quality. Camera does not take great pics at night. It’s nearly 3 years old now & it’s time for an upgrade. Show details
So far so good – Bought the iphone 6plus 64gig for my partner as an early christmas present. ( She couldn’t wait Show details
Love my new iphone 6 plus – I was a little hesitant at first to buy the Iphone 6 Plus as its a lot bigger then the 5c that im used to, but since receiving it i have fallen in love with the big screen! The camera quality is great and the battery life is even better, im very happy with it and highly recommend. Show details
Touch Disease – Was an okay phone, however since replacing the touchscreen after a week it no longer works.. unless heated then starts working. Poor design and faulty once refurbished. Okay new but pretty poor if it can't be used once dropped or damaged this iPhone becomes useless and you may as well buy the next model up. Show details
Great battery – I've got this phone 3 years ago and still using it. I can say the best feature of the phone is the long life battery. Other than that, display quality \ camera is pretty good. However, as you know, the phone is a bit bulky and might bend in your pocket, Show details
This is my ideal phone. Absolutely Perfect! – I have had other iPhones in the past but have never had the 'plus' size and my life has been changed! The screen is the perfect size that I can enjoy watching movies on my phone whilst its always comfortable to hold. The phone works smoothly and effortlessly and has never crashed or glitched since I bought it less than a year ago! The camera… Read more
quality is great for what I want in a phone, if it were any better I wouldnt use my actual camera. Overall, the perfect phone, the design is beautiful and it works amazingly.
Good overall – Had used this for 1 year, everything goes smoothly. Battery life is excellent, plenty of useful and common applications, compared to other OS. A good phone for entertaining and working, connectivity is also good. Love the simple interface of the screen, which helps a lot in searching for necessities. Highly recommended to friends and family. Show details
