*iPhone 6

“The iPhone 6 - The Good, The Big, and The Not Ugly.”

‘Massive’. ‘Gigantic’. This is what many call the iPhone 6. It is bigger than any iPhone besides the 6 Plus. I am only twelve years old, and I am saying that it’s one of the best phones out there. I’ve had the product for only a few months, and it has been phenomenal so far.

The iPhone 6, some people think, has a lot of problems. One person posted a one-hundred and eight-page article on the problems with wifi, but it didn’t stop me from buying the iPhone 6. I have had almost no problems with the wifi, and if I did, it was usually resolved with a quick reboot.

This iPhone stands 5.4 inches tall, and 2.6 inches wide. To many this is gigantic. To others, like me, the size doesn’t matter. What really matters is the speed and quality of the iPhone 6. It can search the web with just a few taps, download apps with the snap of a finger, and play games very smoothly. The brightness can be adjusted by simply swiping your finger from the bottom of the screen up. Sound can be raised and lowered, the camera and the calculator can be opened, the flashlight and Siri can be turned on in a matter of seconds.

The iPhone 6’s outer-shell has been improved from the older iPhones, where dropping it would automatically crack the screen into miniscule parts, and shatter everywhere. This, however, does not happen to the iPhone 6. Time after time have I dropped it on the ground, hoping that when I pick it up I don’t see a broken screen. Nothing of the sort has ever happened, and I’m reluctant in this.

The new and improved ‘Touch ID’ is included in the new iPhone, and it has seen some good and bad days. Some days, it works like a charm; like it’s brand new! But some days I’ve spent trying to recalibrate the sensor and add new fingerprints - one time I even tried my luck with my nose! It didn’t work, no surprise there, but even when I try to do it on my index finger, or my ring finger, or any other finger, it doesn’t always work. It may have only broken on my iPhone 6 out of all of the others, but it doesn’t completely change my view of the phone. I still see it as a fully-functional iPhone.

Out of five stars, I would rate the iPhone 6 a four. It is a great phone in all, and as I’ve said, it plays games with the snap of a finger. It rarely drops calls and has great call-quality. The iPhone 6 is, without a question, my favorite phone.
