Apple iPhone 6 vs Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs Apple iPhone 5s: specs comparison

One year ago, Apple broke free from the uniformity and unveiled not one, but two smartphones - the iPhone 5s and its cheaper, toned-down variation, the colorful iPhone 5c. That was the first time Apple unveiled a duo of devices, but surely, it wasn't the last one. Today, Apple once again a double crop of devices, but unlike the 5s and 5c, the newest iPhone smartphones are quite different from one another in the most noticeable aspect - their size.
