The iPhone 6

The iPhone 6 is a great phone, but it has some things that aren't great. It's a great size if you have large or medium sized hands. The aluminum unibody design allows the iPhone to look and feel like a premium device, although it can become a bit slippery.

I've got to say. It has the best and the most features. It can be improved, but so far working fine. The iPhone 6s in my opinion is a scam. It is 100 dollars more for just a better camera and a couple of features.
